The AEC Next Technology Expo + Conference is coming to Anaheim, California, June 5-7, and you won’t want to miss it. The construction industry is in constant flux. To show building professionals the newest technology on the horizon, this conference is three days of the most relevant content in the field. With topics like Building Documentation for the AEC Community, Virtual Reality in AEC, and The Risky Business of Integrative Predesign, the conference is sure to touch on tools, tech, and ideas suited to your company’s needs, and that’s just day one!

AEC Next offers many opportunities to network with others in the construction industry and build career-strengthening partnerships, as well as experiential sessions full of interaction with new products. In addition, you will have access to more than 100 sessions led by esteemed speakers in AEC. Among those is Sanjay Mistry, who will present his “Virtual Reality Revolution for the AEC Industry.”

Mistry is the Vice President of AEC VR and Unity development for VIMaec. VIMaec is an industry pioneer, having recently created VR and AR tools for the Enterprise Design Market. Sanjay has over twenty years’ experience in technology, development, and business. He formerly served as Global Director for AEC and Manufacturing Industries at Unity Technology, and has also held positions at AutoDesk and Wavefront. In addition, he has worked with major brands like Disney, Warner Brothers, and Sony.

On Tuesday, June 5, Mistry will speak about the use of VR tools and 3D animation in architecture Engineering and construction, and how to create Interactive VR + AR Environments. You will get to hear about the exciting ways that VR is bringing the centuries old field of architecture to new innovative heights. From the first break of ground to the final finishing touches, virtual reality allows us to walk around in an impending structure and view every detail from ceiling to floor, wall to wall, and all the spaces in between.

This innovation puts professionals on the fast track to engaging with industry trends, but also greatly improves efficiency in practical matters such as reviews and approvals through the build cycle. Furthermore, redesigns are faster than ever with this new VR + AR technology.

VIMaec will be showcasing its VIM (Virtual Information Model), a program unlike anything else available in the field. VIM transforms BIM into interactive 3D VR/AR for AEC. VIMaec is also the authorized reseller of Unity technology. We hope you’ll come listen to Sanjay Mistry on June 5 from 3:30 PM to 5:00 PM.

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
