Precision and efficiency are paramount in the Building Information Modeling (BIM) ecosystem. Yet, one often overlooked aspect—hanger placement—can consume disproportionate amounts of time and resources. This inefficiency hampers productivity and increases the risk of errors and project delays. Common Challenges in the Process Manual placement takes a lot of time. It requires careful attention […]
Navigating Rising Material Costs in Construction
In 2025, construction leaders face an all-too-familiar challenge: material costs are spiking again. With new tariffs, global demand is higher than supply and material cost increases from tariffs present new challenges in estimating your work. Critical materials like copper are getting more expensive. As a result, fabricators are facing a margin crunch. The stakes are […]
Adapt and Adopt: Why Industrial Prefabrication Requires a Different Set of Solutions
One thing is clear in industrial prefabrication: change isn’t just coming—it’s already here. The contractors who adapt and adopt stay ahead, while those resistant to change are left in the dust. As the demands of industrial projects grow more complex, so do the requirements of the technology supporting them. That’s why industrial prefabrication needs different […]
Why Industrial Prefabrication Requires a Different Approach
Industrial prefabrication isn’t just commercial prefabrication on a larger scale. It’s an entirely different animal. The systems are heavier, the materials are more demanding, and the stakes—particularly around safety, precision, and compliance—are far higher. Whether you’re building modules for data centers, process piping for refineries, or spools for utility-scale infrastructure, entering the world of industrial […]

Overcoming Challenges with Point Solutions for Fabricators
The Limitations of Point Solutions in Construction Fabrication Construction fabrication teams rely on precise coordination between Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) teams and shop floor operations. However, many fabricators still use a variety of “point” solutions—manual paper tracking, Excel spreadsheets, and fragmented email communication—to name a few. These methods can provide immediate benefits, but they […]

Do You Know the Status of That Spool?
In mechanical contracting, it is important to know the status of every spool. Tracking fabrication progress in the shop or coordinating delivery and installation on-site is important. Real-time insights can help prevent costly delays. They can also improve efficiency and keep projects on schedule. A robust tracking system is the key to achieving this. Advanced […]
The Future of Sheet Metal Contracting
The sheet metal industry is evolving rapidly, driven by increasing project complexity, labor shortages, and shifting economic conditions. Contractors must balance fabrication efficiency, regulatory compliance, and high-quality work, all while navigating volatile material costs and an aging workforce. Understanding key industry trends and best practices can help sheet metal contractors maintain a competitive edge in […]
