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, […]
Connected BIM-to-Fabrication: How MEP Contractors Scale Faster in 2026
Key takeaways BIM-to-fabrication software connects design, spooling, fabrication, and field execution into one system of record, reducing rework, improving labor productivity, and giving MEP contractors predictable control over schedules and margins. Why BIM-to-Fabrication Software Is a Competitive Advantage in 2026 MEP contractors are under pressure from every angle. Labor shortages continue. Schedules keep compressing. […]
The 2026 MEP Innovation Conference and the New Blueprint for MEP Growth
The 2026 MEP Innovation Conference is set to make one reality clear: MEP contractors are no longer debating whether to modernize. They are deciding how fast they can scale proven workflows without breaking margins, burning out teams, or losing control of quality. Across sessions, panels, and conversations on the show floor, the focus is shifting […]
Prefabrication in 2026: Why Industrialized Construction Is Becoming the Standard
Construction is entering a decisive decade. In 2026, prefabrication is no longer an emerging trend or a niche strategy reserved for advanced contractors. It is becoming the default operating model for firms that need to deliver faster, control labor, and meet owner expectations for certainty. Rising labor costs, skilled workforce shortages, tighter schedules, and margin […]
BIM-Driven Spooling Streamlines the Fabrication Process
Fabrication teams are under more pressure than at any point in the last two decades. Schedules keep shrinking. Skilled labor remains scarce. Owners demand certainty, not excuses. Yet many fabrication workflows still rely on fragmented handoffs between BIM detailing, spooling, and the shop floor. BIM-driven spooling fixes that disconnect. When spooling is generated directly from […]
Why Data Center Projects Demand Fabrication-Driven BIM Workflows
The data center construction boom is rewriting the rules. Data center construction has moved from a niche market to one of the fastest-growing segments in commercial construction. Hyperscalers, colocation providers, and enterprise operators are racing to expand capacity to support AI workloads, cloud services, and edge computing. According to McKinsey, global demand for data centers could […]
Why Data Center Projects Depend on Accurate MEP BIM Modeling
MEP BIM modeling is reshaping how contractors design, coordinate, and deliver work. Integrating mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems into a shared digital model helps teams plan with accuracy and avoid rework. Today’s projects move faster and carry tighter margins, which is why contractors depend on BIM to eliminate uncertainty. Industry research highlights this need. Autodesk […]
