As the world shifts towards a digitally connected landscape, it’s organizations like TPC that are setting the gold standard for effective virtual collaboration. With their recent unveiling of their Active Participation Strategy, they’ve brought into focus the role of engagement and preparedness in achieving the best results. This blueprint not only emphasizes informed decision-making but also incorporates the use of technology to echo the nuances of in-person engagement.

It’s interesting to note the value TPC places on systemless behavior – a collective effort where committees work without rigid hierarchies to enhance their programs. These concepts come alive during their comprehensive discussions, which are meant to take advantage of the diverse expertise of members. But the company’s real masterstroke lies in creating an ecosystem that thrives on consistent involvement – an approach that accelerates value realization. Through these innovative methods, TPC reinforces their credo of being “stronger together,” proving yet again that member-driven initiatives can deliver truly superior results.

Video TranscriptExpand ↓

At TPC, we aim to facilitate productive collaboration among our members and committees to achieve successful outcomes. And to help members work together in meaningful ways to drive enhanced value for the entire membership. We have developed our active participation strategy, which outlines best practices that support effective and efficient meetings and interactions. Active participation means being fully prepared and engaged. By clearly understanding the expectations of a meeting, we gather the right people with the right information to make the right decisions. It also means using available technology to connect with colleagues, including joining virtual meetings with both audio and video, to help replicate the quality of in person engagement. We ask our committees to adopt systemless behavior and work together to enhance value in our programs and initiatives. Finally, active participation encourages members to engage in comprehensive discussions. That generate powerful decisions. It is working hand in hand with TPC via consistent involvement. In and out of scheduled meetings, to drive speed to value. Because TPC initiatives are member driven, they require member involvement, input, and action every step of the way. Active participation enables more efficient and effective collaboration and more value for our members, TPC, stronger together, superior results.

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.

Grimshaw plan trades Allegiant Stadium parking lots for a Boring Company station

Grimshaw plan trades Allegiant Stadium parking lots for a Boring Company station

Grimshaw has released plans for a reimagined north entry plaza at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, per Dezeen. The design converts parking lots into transport infrastructure and walkways and builds a Boring Company station into an elevated plaza. For stadium operators, the arrival point moves from a parking field to a transit stop.

  • 01Grimshaw's Allegiant Stadium plan puts the transit station inside the entry plaza itself, which changes where crowd flow begins for gate staffing and wayfinding.
  • 02The plan matters most for venues with surface parking directly adjacent to gates and a transit operator willing to build to the door; without both, the model does not transfer.
  • 03Dezeen reported released plans, not a construction start; a published schedule or cost is the next signal that would move this from concept to project.

Proptech money is moving to AI that cuts construction and property costs

Proptech money is moving to AI that cuts construction and property costs

Crunchbase News reported Sept. 1, 2026 that proptech investors are shifting toward AI that makes construction, property operations and deals cheaper. Trunk Tools is the clearest example. Its TrunkBid bid-leveling agent and Cortex drawing layer put the change squarely in general contractors' preconstruction and submittal work.

  • 01Investor selectivity in proptech is now aimed at a specific test: does the tool take hours out of construction, building operations or a transaction. According to Crunchbase News, investors are putting more money into companies using AI and other technology to make construction, property operations and real estate transactions faster and less expensive.
  • 02Trunk Tools launched TrunkBid, an AI agent for subcontractor bid analysis and leveling, in March, according to Construction Business Owner, and its Cortex platform, unveiled in June, can compare revised drawing sets, according to ENR. Contractors that still level subcontractor bids by hand in spreadsheets are the buyers this wave is built for.
  • 03Watch whether early deployers such as Gilbane and Cleveland Construction publish measured hours saved. Until they do, the 'hundreds of hours' figure is a vendor estimate, not a benchmark.
