Wint, a leader in water management solutions for the built environment, has launched Water Insights, a groundbreaking platform that provides facility managers, sustainability leaders, developers, and contractors with actionable visibility into building water usage patterns. Traditional water data, often delayed and limited in detail, leaves teams without the insight needed to detect long-term inefficiencies or root causes of waste. Water Insights solves this challenge by collecting granular flow data, leveraging AI-powered cloud analytics to uncover patterns, anomalies, and inefficiencies. The platform highlights emerging issues, benchmarks performance across asset classes, and detects potential equipment malfunctions or configuration problems before they escalate. With intuitive dashboards, managers can quickly identify problem areas, reduce waste, lower costs, and minimize environmental impact. Beyond improving operations, Water Insights supports sustainability goals by cutting water waste, reducing carbon footprints, and protecting facilities from costly damage. As Rami Kletshevsky, Director of Product Management at Wint, notes, the true value lies in transforming raw usage data into clear, actionable insights that empower proactive decisions and long-term strategies. With Water Insights, teams gain unprecedented control over water efficiency, driving smarter building performance and advancing sustainability in the construction and facility management industries.

Autodesk, Inc. a global leader in Design and Make technology, has entered a multi-year partnership with the Kraft Group, becoming the Official Design and Make Platform of the New England Patriots. This first-of-its-kind collaboration with an NFL team will integrate Autodesk Construction Cloud to power infrastructure projects ranging from facility upgrades and real estate developments to hosting large-scale events at Gillette Stadium. The partnership underscores Autodesk’s commitment to innovation, sustainability, and performance, providing the Kraft Group with a digital foundation to streamline construction, boost efficiency, and enhance long-term facility value. Beyond construction, Autodesk will gain high-visibility branding opportunities, including TV-visible LED signage at Patriots home games, co-branded marketing, and digital fan engagement. With deep roots in Boston through its Technology Center in the Seaport District, Autodesk continues to support innovation for startups, students, and professionals in the region. By combining the Patriots’ forward-looking vision with Autodesk’s cutting-edge platform, the partnership is set to redefine how sports organizations design, build, and manage facilities while creating lasting impact both on and off the field.

Faber Connect, a leading technology platform that connects tradespeople directly with construction companies, has successfully acquired Prime Staffing, Edmonton’s top construction staffing provider. Completed in June 2025, the acquisition immediately reduced operating costs by 70%, underscoring Faber’s innovative approach to transforming construction recruitment. With Prime Staffing’s 45+ years of expertise and a network of over 12,000 skilled tradespeople, Faber has expanded access to Alberta’s largest ready-to-work labour pool while modernizing staffing processes through its AI-driven fulfillment algorithm and cloud-based platform. By eliminating traditional brick-and-mortar expenses like paper timesheets and physical branches, Faber delivers streamlined, cost-efficient recruitment, creating faster, smarter connections between trades and construction companies. The acquisition also strengthens Faber’s leadership with Matthias Friedel appointed as Market Manager of Edmonton, ensuring continuity and client value. According to cofounders Sebastian Jacob and John Reid, the integration of Prime Staffing validates Faber’s scalable model and sets the stage for nationwide expansion across Canadian cities in 2026.

Dusty Robotics, a leader in construction robotics, has launched its Dusty for Autodesk® AutoCAD® plugin, now available in the Autodesk App Store. This new integration streamlines the BIM-to-field workflow by automating robot-ready drawing preparation directly from coordinated CAD models, reducing errors and improving efficiency. Part of Dusty’s FieldPrint Platform, the plugin incorporates proven best practices from thousands of projects, allowing field teams to print layouts for multiple trades with Dusty’s compact FieldPrinter 2, which delivers 1/16-inch accuracy in tight spaces. By bridging design and field operations, contractors can minimize costly coordination issues, protect profit margins, and overcome skilled labor shortages. The AutoCAD plugin complements Dusty’s existing Autodesk Revit integration and the Dusty Portal, giving construction teams flexibility while ensuring all trades work from a single source of truth. With over 225 million square feet of layout already printed across major contractor projects, Dusty Robotics continues to set the standard for automated construction layout solutions.

EarthCam, the global leader in live camera technology, has unveiled its ninth-generation integration with Autodesk Construction Cloud®, announced at Autodesk University 2025. The enhanced integration delivers the most advanced visual data and automation tools to date, empowering project teams to improve safety, compliance, and productivity. With Control Center 9, EarthCam combines live imagery, AI analytics, and 3D model alignment directly within Autodesk Build and Docs, offering real-time, searchable insights. A standout feature is EarthCam 3D, which aligns panoramic images with Revit and Navisworks models, giving stakeholders an “x-ray” view to compare as-built progress with digital twins. New AI-powered reports automatically log jobsite activity—including workforce presence, equipment use, weather, and PPE compliance—directly into Autodesk Docs. In addition, the new AI Material Analysis feature identifies and tracks over 30 materials in real time, enabling just-in-time scheduling and more accurate work-in-place tracking. By merging intelligent visuals with Autodesk’s connected construction ecosystem, EarthCam helps project teams make faster, more informed decisions while reducing errors and delays.

GreenLite, a leading construction technology company, has raised $49.5M in Series B funding led by Insight Partners with participation from Energize Capital, Craft Ventures, LiveOak Ventures, and Chicago Ventures. The company accelerates permitting timelines by 75% through its AI-powered plan review and compliance platform, LiteTable, which analyzes plan sets, flags compliance issues, and provides code guidance tailored to specific jurisdictions. With permitting backlogs and labor shortages slowing construction nationwide, GreenLite is addressing the growing demand for Private Plan Review (PPR), where qualified third-party experts conduct official code compliance reviews. Nearly a quarter of U.S. states have advanced PPR legislation in the past three years, and GreenLite is the only provider delivering PPR at national scale by combining AI automation with regulatory expertise. The new funding will fuel expansion into lodging, industrial and logistics, clean energy infrastructure, residential development, and multifamily housing, while strengthening its AI platform.

LightYX, a construction technology startup specializing in on-site laser projection of building plans, has raised $11 million in Series A funding led by NOVA by Saint-Gobain, with participation from Yachad Capital Partners, Shibumi International, Somersault Ventures, and private investors. Backed by $3.3 million in grants from the Israel Innovation Authority, LightYX has developed an electro-optical system that projects construction layouts directly onto floors, ceilings, and walls with industry-leading 1/16-inch accuracy. The system replaces manual methods like chalk lines and tape measures, enabling precise installation of drywall, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical systems while reducing errors and accelerating project timelines. Already deployed on hundreds of projects across more than 25 million square feet, LightYX partners with top U.S. contractors and distributors in drywall and MEP installation. The new funding will support U.S. expansion, product development, and new partnerships in North America and Europe, with a target of tripling growth by 2026.
