Nick Kline addresses a customer’s concern about why Polygon, despite having fewer equipment than their competitors, can still deliver satisfactory results. The customer, Kevin, questions the impact of having less equipment on the effectiveness and price of Polygon’s services. Nick explains that Polygon takes a customized approach by considering the customer’s specific requirements, such as the building, construction stage, and timeline. Instead of relying on generic rules or past projects, Polygon designs their solutions tailored to meet the customer’s needs precisely. This personalized approach may result in either fewer or more equipment than competitors, but the key advantage lies in the equipment being specifically optimized for the customer’s project. This ensures that the equipment provided will neither be excessive nor inadequate for the job at hand.

I was recently doing a big review and my customer, Kevin, asked me and he said, look, my my super and Kevin Frank, he he keeps asking me like what is the deal? Why? This polygon have less equipment than their competitors. That's making a big difference in the price but like that's great but is it gonna work? And so I told him I said, again look. You came to me and said, hey, this is what I need for my building. This is when I need it. This is the stage of construction I'll be in. And so I actually took all of that into consideration and sized something up specific to your needs. Didn't just use a rule of thumb, didn't look at the project we did last month. It was kinda sort of maybe similar. We looked at exactly what you need and sometimes that means that I come up with less equipment than my competition. And other times, it means that I come up with more equipment than my competition. But the good news is that it was designed specifically for you. Therefore, it should meet your needs and not be too much and not be too low.

Caterpillar and FieldAI partner on physical AI for jobsites

Caterpillar and FieldAI partner on physical AI for jobsites

Caterpillar announced a collaboration with robotics company FieldAI on Sept. 5, 2026, aimed at bringing physical AI and autonomous systems to construction sites and industrial environments, according to Automation News. The companies plan to combine Caterpillar's operational data and engineering with FieldAI's robot foundation models, along with NVIDIA computing and digital twin tools.

  • 01Caterpillar and FieldAI are combining industrial expertise with AI-enabled robot foundation models for construction and industrial site automation.
  • 02Planned applications include autonomous inspections for safety, digital twins for operational insight, and AI-driven simulation for industrial operations.
  • 03The partnership will use NVIDIA accelerated computing and NVIDIA Omniverse for robot-agnostic autonomy technology across multiple robotic platforms.

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
