Data center construction is not slowing down. Demand continues to surge as artificial intelligence, cloud expansion, redundancy planning, and edge computing drive long-term investment. Yet despite capital availability and aggressive project pipelines, many data center projects struggle to maintain schedule certainty. The issue is often described as a labor shortage. While labor constraints are real, […]
82% of mechanical contractors say fabrication is now required to win work says SmartMarket Brief
What the New Dodge Construction Network Study Means for MEP Leaders in 2026 Digital fabrication has crossed a critical threshold. According to newly released research from Dodge Construction Network, in partnership with DEWALT Construction Technology and supported by Pinnacle Infotech, 82% of mechanical contractors report that fabrication capability is now a prerequisite for winning projects. […]
BIM to Fabrication Software for MEP Contractors
What Is BIM to Fabrication Software? BIM to fabrication software connects design models directly to fabrication, spooling, and installation workflows. For MEP contractors, it replaces disconnected handoffs between BIM, the shop, and the field with a single, controlled system of record. Instead of redrawing models, rebuilding spools, or manually reconciling changes, BIM to fabrication software […]
Reducing Risk with BIM-to-Field Feedback Loops in Data Center Construction
BIM-to-field workflows reduce risk in data center construction by creating real-time construction feedback loops between design, fabrication, and installation. When field conditions, fabrication status, and model updates stay synchronized, contractors eliminate coordination drift, reduce rework, and improve schedule certainty. Integrated platforms like MSUITE BIM and MSUITE Hangers connect model data directly to the shop and […]
MSUITE joins Advancing Prefabrication 2026: Transforming Industrialized Construction into Competitive Edge
From February 2–5, 2026, leaders across construction, manufacturing, and MEP will gather in Dallas for Advancing Prefabrication, hosted at the Marriott Dallas Allen. As prefabrication moves from innovation to expectation, MSUITE will be on site to show how contractors can operationalize prefab at scale by connecting BIM, fabrication, and field execution into a single, […]
