Milan’s design week in April witnessed an innovative drone contribution towards the process of building infrastructure with natural materials- aspects of earth architecture. In a project by the name ‘terramia’ the Spanish architecture firm MuDD used drones that spray a cement-like substance onto fabric to construct lightweight structures. MuDD architects collaborated with canya viva, summum engineering and AKT II to build ‘terramia’ housing prototypes using a combination of drone spraying, drone blowing and drone lifting.

Distressed sales are 2% of the housing market, and that should change how contractors plan 2027

Distressed sales are 2% of the housing market, and that should change how contractors plan 2027

Existing home sales fell to 3.98 million in August, but distressed sales remain at just 2% of transactions with prices still rising, signaling an affordability freeze rather than a credit crisis. Residential builders and contractors should plan 2027 capacity around intact homeowner equity, higher inventory creating pre-sale work demand, and regional variations in turnover rather than cutting headcount for a financial downturn.

  • 01Distressed sales at 2% of market (versus roughly one-third during 2008) mean no forced-seller wave or equity destruction, leaving HELOC and cash-out renovation funding intact for contractors
  • 02Supply at 4.9 months and 5.9% year-over-year growth forces sellers to fund pre-sale work on roofs, HVAC, kitchens, and inspections to compete, generating small-ticket trade demand despite lower transaction volume
  • 03Year-to-date sales up 1.6% with 27% all-cash buyers and 15% investor purchases plus strong August wage growth (3.1%) and employment (643,000 jobs since January) support demand in rate-insensitive buyer segments

JE Dunn Adds Power Generation Unit as Data Centers Grow

JE Dunn Construction announced on Aug. 26, 2026 that it created a power generation unit within its advanced technology group and appointed Ryan Wilson to lead it, according to Construction Dive.

  • 01JE Dunn named Ryan Wilson, a senior project manager with power and industrial experience, as VP and market lead for its new power generation unit.
  • 02Planned U.S. data center projects increased 203% in five months (March to August 2026), from 666 to 2,019, with Virginia leading at 458 planned projects.
  • 03Power work generates roughly 35% to 40% of Canadian firm WSP Global's U.S. revenue, Clayco launched a power and energy unit in March 2026, and Kiewit and Bechtel were selected for a $33 billion Ohio power project.

Construction Job Openings Rise as Dodge Index Slips 0.4%

Construction Job Openings Rise as Dodge Index Slips 0.4%

The Dodge Momentum Index slipped 0.4% to 282.0 in August 2026, according to Dodge Construction Network, while Associated Builders and Contractors reported construction job openings rose to 326,000 in July, near a two-year high. Separate reporting covered a new multiskilled-labor dataset from the Simplar Foundation and an unresolved federal copper tariff decision.

  • 01Construction job openings reached 326,000 in July 2026, up 28,000 from the prior month and near the highest level in almost two years
  • 02Multiskilled crews in the study spent a larger share of time on direct construction work and less time idle compared with single-trade crews
  • 03The Dodge Momentum Index measures projects entering planning, not current staffing conditions, so a declining index alongside rising job openings reflect different parts of the construction pipeline
