As society marches forward, many corners of the world’s industries and products get bigger and better – and glass installations are not exempt.

In today’s modern architectural and design landscape, glass installation projects are getting more and more complex and scaling to new heights, requiring the safe installation of huge, heavy panes that pose serious efficiency and safety concerns.

Fortunately, glaziers have solutions.

Ergo Robotic Solutions Director of Sales and Marketing Alan Nudi joined host Tyler Kern to discuss how the company’s glass manipulators are helping glaziers keep pace.

“This is the core of our story, really. It’s what we are all about. It’s about providing solutions,” Nudi said. “The machinery is the solution, but in getting from the problem to the solution, we work hand-in-hand with our customers.”

This custom approach helps Ergo serve any and all needs, even for customers that don’t know exactly what they need when they begin the process.

Ergo offers a range of innovative solutions custom-built for glaziers’ unique needs, from residential applications to high-stress, angled and large-scale installation projects.

And the proof is in the results – Ergo’s machinery has installed glass in every major United States city, helping glaziers adapt to increasingly unique architecture and shapes.

“There are countless examples, in fact, of unique types of jobs,” Nudi said. “For instance, there was a really interesting job we worked on with a customer that’s actually a solar energy field. What they do is they install, essentially, a giant field full of mirrors.

“They break from time to time, and they have to replace them. So we designed a custom trailer that they could pull behind their truck that actually has an arm that can reach down, pull the mirrors right off of the truck, raise them up in the air, move them around, and allow them to hold the mirror in place to allow them to attach it where it needs to go.”

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.
