We've been in business for the last thirty five years, and we work across all product sectors across the entire country. So when our science come to us, they know they're getting a team with extensive knowledge that really has a finger on the pulse of what's happening across the country, we can best add value to their project and better serve them for the future. The VCC pre construction is more than just a budget schedule. Our project management team and operations group bring real life means methods and experience to the process. So while there's ten different ways to build a project. There's also even more ways to design a project. VCC brings those skills early on in the pre construction process to the team. We perform that the peer reviews on all of our projects. We go over those thoroughly, make sure we're all in agreement with the issues we're finding and how those need to be conveyed and resolved. Right now, there is a heavy focus on reconstruction just given our current supply chain material shortage climate in the industry. Preconstruction allows for us to get ahead of those issues early on in the process to eliminate any issues that could take place, just prior to construction or during construction. Throughout the pre construction process, it can help us identify those materials and systems that could have potential delays or could cause potential delays to the construction schedule, ultimately affecting budgets and and time. Our process starts usually with project management and then their details are passed to the scheduling department and usually one of our planners takes over at that point, and they take the details they're given, and they will take whatever detail they have and apply their knowledge and their expertise and develop a timeline for the construction of project and the goals of our pre construction group are basically to help ownership, help design teams, figure out the best way to build a project that you might even be at a conceptual stage. We can give them really valuable information on how it can be built. What product should be what issues are we seeing so that they're planning ahead. The biggest thing is just setting the stage for open community patient and everybody being on the same page. And the long term is throughout the life of the project. As you encounter challenges, you everybody on the same page and having a game plan and everyone knowing what that is. So when you encounter that thing, move forward and everyone knows what's going on. That's the long term. We're constantly evolving our pre construction process. Every day, we're looking at new technology We're looking at new unit costs. We're looking at new inflation tables. So we're constantly evolving and improving our pre construction process to make sure we provide the best service to our clients.

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
