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.

Bell partnership lets Hitachi target the classes that make up roughly 90% of the North American ADT market

Through a collaboration with Bell Equipment, Hitachi Construction Machinery Americas plans to add three articulated dump trucks: the ZD30, ZD45 and ZD50. The launch is scheduled for early summer 2027, and Hitachi dealers in the United States and Canada will support the trucks. Ranging from 30 to 50 tons, the models put Hitachi in the equipment classes that make up roughly 90% of the North American ADT market. The lineup gives contractors a single dealer network for excavators, wheel loaders and articulated dump trucks.

  • 01Hitachi's ZD30, ZD45, ZD50 articulated trucks launch early summer 2027 and address size classes representing about 90% of North American ADT demand
  • 02Bell Equipment, with over 26 years in the North American ADT market, manufactures the trucks while Hitachi dealers distribute and support them across the U.S. and Canada
  • 03The partnership lets Hitachi dealers quote excavators, wheel loaders, and ADTs from one network, expanding their offering.

Hover 3D roof measurements now flow straight into Trussi roofing estimates

Hover 3D roof measurements now flow straight into Trussi roofing estimates

Trussi, built inside Shamrock Roofing and Construction, imports Hover 3D measurements into job records and estimate fields. Hover reports bill to the contractor’s own Hover account at existing pricing, with no markup. One phone capture can also support exterior quotes in multi-trade workflows.

  • 01Hover reports bill to the contractor's own Hover account at existing prices, with no reseller markup.
  • 02One smartphone capture can feed both a roof estimate and a siding, window, door and trim takeoff, which matters most for contractors who sell more than one exterior trade.

Procore expands NVIDIA collaboration on construction digital twins

Procore expands NVIDIA collaboration on construction digital twins

Procore has announced closed-beta digital twin capabilities, powered by NVIDIA Omniverse libraries, that link 3D models to procurement and schedule data and to DroneDeploy site captures. How much they pay off likely depends on how current each contractor's schedule and procurement records are, especially on data center megaprojects.

  • 01Procore’s NVIDIA twin links model to schedule and procurement data, showing how a late delivery can ripple into downstream work.
  • 02A delay simulation is only as good as the delivery dates behind it: projects that track procurement outside Procore would get the 3D model with less of the ripple analysis.
  • 03Investing.com says Commissioning and an IBM Maximo integration are in beta; they could extend the twin past handover as closed beta expands.
