OCTOBER 2025CONSTRUCTIONBUSINESSREVIEW.COM6The construction sector is undergoing a subtle but decisive shift as digital and physical innovations converge on the jobsite. Technologies once viewed as experimental--digital twins, generative design and AI-driven scheduling--are moving into mainstream adoption. By linking design models to real-time data from sensors and project management platforms, firms are now able to anticipate conflicts, optimize resource allocation and make decisions with a level of foresight that was not possible a decade ago. On the ground, automation and robotics are equally reshaping construction practice. Exoskeletons and wearable technologies are improving worker safety and productivity, drones are expanding their role in surveying and compliance monitoring and robotic systems are taking on repetitive or high-risk tasks such as bricklaying or welding. Additive manufacturing, particularly 3D-printed structural components, is advancing from trial projects into scalable applications, offering speed and material efficiency at a time when sustainability pressures are mounting. Taken together, these trends point to an industry that is not only modernizing its toolset but also redefining its approach to risk, safety, and resilience in the built environment.Driven by these trends, the sector is projected to expand at a CAGR of 5.5 percent through 2033, with segments such as fiberglass fabrication and construction hiring climbing as high as 6.4 to 8.8 percent. The magazine features a thought leadership piece by Desmond Shotwell, National Director of Renovations at AMLI Residential, highlighting planning, collaboration and technology as keys to successful renovation projects. It also includes insights from Zachary Davis, Senior Director, National Strategy & Business Development, U.S. Project & Construction Management, at Avison Young on how client focus, integration and technology are reshaping construction and real estate growth.We hope this edition helps build environment professionals harness sustainability, precision engineering, and digital workflows to drive smarter, faster outcomes across every design and construction phase.Let us know your thoughts!The Convergence of Data and Design in Construction's New EraEDITORIALCopyright © 2025 ValleyMedia, Inc.
