Not enough credit is given to construction estimators. While they might not design or build the structure, they’re an essential part of every project. They ensure that projects are feasible for a given budget, profitable for the contractor, affordable for the customer, and on time for everyone involved. They also help ensure that the finished product looks as it was intended to. But what does a construction estimator do, and what are their roles? This guide on estimators in construction by Premier Construction Software will explain who these important professionals are, what they do, and some of the skills and abilities they need to be good at their jobs.

We recently had an engaging session with Josee Chenier, Head of HR and Payroll at Harding Mechanical. In this in-depth conversation, we explored the significant impact Jonas Construction Software has had on their payroll operations and overall business growth. Watch this enlightening discussion to learn how Jonas’ automated construction software not only streamlined Harding Mechanical’s HR and payroll processes but also provided a comprehensive platform to access all their essential information efficiently and effectively, whenever needed.
As the world increasingly focuses on sustainability and efficient resource management, the plumbing and mechanical industry is presented with a unique opportunity to modernize how water is managed and conserved. The integration of Internet of Things (IoT) technology in water management systems enables real-time monitoring, analysis, and control of water usage, resulting in more sustainable and efficient water practices. This presentation will explore the benefits of IoT technology applied to water management, including its role in achieving net zero water, and its impact on water conservation and efficiency. We will also discuss the critical advantages of IoT water management in smart homes and buildings, including real-time monitoring, leak detection, and optimized water usage.
OpenSpace, the global leader in reality capture and AI-powered analytics, recently announced the availability of new integrations for Revizto customers that bring together the most recent site data for clash detection, improving coordination between Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) and field teams. Construction projects require tremendous coordination and these integrations will allow OpenSpace and Revizto customers to quickly solve problems by aligning design intent with what’s happening onsite—speeding up responses, approvals, and project schedules.

The concept of modular housing, employing pre-assembled components for quicker, more sustainable construction, is experiencing varied adoption rates globally. Despite its potential to address housing shortages efficiently, challenges such as financial investment in factories, market fluctuations, and conservative industry attitudes have hindered its growth in regions like the U.K. and U.S. However, countries like Sweden and Japan lead in prefabrication, demonstrating its viability. The sector faces setbacks but holds promise for addressing housing crises if obstacles can be overcome.
