Since the found of this company, VCC has always been committed to the process of innovation. We develop and fine tune management principles and practices to make the construction process more efficient, productive, and predictable. The way we harness the power of technology is a big part of our success. I am very excited about DCC's future in innovation and technology. We've always been known to have a culture of innovation. And when technology solutions didn't exist, we made it happen. We create technology, we implement technology, we integrate with a lot of different technology solutions, In the construction industry, the technology has been very important to us. It's created more efficiency, consistency, and transparency in the way we do business. We wouldn't be able to manage the number of projects we do without the technology and the business today. When you look at three things that clients look at. You know, delivering a project on time, on budget without issues does a quality project, All of the technology tools and the whole project life cycle helps deliver that. Every technology we use, there's some tangential benefits to our client, but ultimately it leads to higher quality delivery, competitive costing, and being able to manage the minutia of this really dynamic and difficult industry. Modernization of the construction technology has been running unbridled for quite some time now. VCC has capitalized on that in every aspect At the front end of a job, we put together a playbook that provides the path to success. And I mean, this is done through endeavor and it's a it's a checks and balances with buyout with our project management team. It's checks and balances to make sure our procurement can be in line with our scheduling department. It's all in place with endeavor and and that's where that's where it all comes together. It enabled us to engage all the parties in one workflow system so people of transparency of data obviously, but also the ability, for example, submits an invoice or submit a payment application or signing a lead waiver and trickle that all the way in ownership or to the client in an automated way, an efficient way, has been a big advancement for us. BCC from the very early days has leaned into tech knowledge is an opportunity to really establish those strong partnerships with their subcontractors and to make sure that really their relationship is a win win. Would say, you know, VCC has always been a technology driven organization. They've always looked to utilize whatever the best solutions for their employees and ultimately their clients were on the market. VCC really distinguished itself as a power user through their commitment of standardization. They've also spent a lot of times, you know, very meticulously planning for implementation before any technology solution was put in place. They weren't simply saying, hey, here's a new technology. Go use it to field. They were talking about how do we extract the best value, best ROI, and what's the plan for implementing it in the field. I mean, it's a really great opportunity technology partnership with our two firms. We believe that engaging parties in the workflow, even though parties are external to VCC only makes us stronger and only makes us deliver a better project for the client. We've come so far in just a few decades, and the new tech has dramatically impacted the way we deliver projects as an industry. I'm very excited and look forward to the new advances yet to come. The future is bright for construction and it's bright with VCC.

Why Boon Edam's frameless revolving door stops at three meters

Why Boon Edam's frameless revolving door stops at three meters

Boon Edam’s frameless Crystal Tourniket uses its glass for structural strength, capping the diameter at three meters because the unsuspended glass ceiling would sag. Boon Edam says in the video that a wheelchair-accessible revolving door needs two rings and a wider drum, so the door needs an adjacent accessible entrance. The door complies with EN 16005:2023, published in 2024 as national bodies moved to withdraw the 2012 edition.

  • 01Boon Edam caps the Crystal Tourniket at three meters because its glass ceiling hangs from nothing and would sag past that span.
  • 02A wheelchair-accessible revolving door needs two rings and a drum wider than any Crystal Tourniket, so the lobby needs a second, adjacent accessible door.

One merger skews $70B CRE volume as property sales cool

One merger skews $70B CRE volume as property sales cool

MSCI counted the Equity Residential and AvalonBay merger into Vivmark as two portfolio sales, creating a record $70 billion month for entity-level real estate deals in August. Single-building sales are cooler: up 12% through August after rising 29% in 2025, and CRE Daily argued they’re the cleaner guide for pricing, lending on or appraising one property.

  • 01Vivmark merger skewed August’s $70B entity-level sales record
  • 02Individual property sales are up 12% through August after a 29% jump in 2025. Growth is slowing, and some analysts say this is the cleaner benchmark for pricing or financing a single building.
  • 03Two things to watch this fall: whether MSCI's revisions to August figures narrow the 28% drop in individual asset sales, and how the recent rise in the 10-year Treasury yield feeds into cap rates.

AECOM's $144.5M in school work leads BD+C's 2026 K-12 engineering ranking

AECOM's $144.5M in school work leads BD+C's 2026 K-12 engineering ranking

AECOM reported $144.5 million in 2025 K-12 school revenue, topping Building Design+Construction's 2026 Giants 400 engineering ranking ahead of CMTA and Jacobs. The lists rank gross revenue, so they map footprint, not performance. For districts planning bond programs, they are the closest public view of who builds schools at scale.

  • 01AECOM led the K-12 engineering list with $144.5 million in 2025 revenue, followed by CMTA at $104.5 million, Jacobs at $97.1 million and fourth-place WSP at $46.6 million, per BD+C.
  • 02The Giants 400 K-12 lists rank gross revenue from U.S. and Canada operations, so a firm's position measures how much school work it carries, not fees, project count or results.
  • 03The same three firms held No. 1 in K-12 architecture, engineering and construction in both 2025 and 2026, according to American School & University, while positions below them shifted.
