Construction Technology Trends: What’s Shaping the Future of AEC?

In this construction technology webinar, I sit down with five industry leaders to unpack where AI is actually delivering value on job sites — and where the hype outpaces reality. Our panelists share perspectives from across the industry: David Swider (Track3D AI) — reality capture and data platforms, 30 years in construction tech Chris Araujo (BNBuilders) — innovation strategy at a mid-sized GC and robotics adoption Kayla Coffman Adams (Saint-Gobain) — practical AI implementation, vision systems for quality control, and data architecture Joshua Jackson (Safety EHD) — using AI to move construction safety from knowledge-based to action-based, and the human cost of getting it wrong Rick Kennedy (Nialli) — data as the foundation of construction tech, and driving site-level adoption We cover: ✅ The top trends reshaping construction tech beyond AI hype ✅ Why data infrastructure has to come before AI adoption ✅ Vision systems and reality capture for quality control at scale ✅ How AI shifts workers from a "knowledge economy" to an "action economy" ✅ What organizations should ask before adopting AI tools — and what to avoid ✅ Why site-level adoption (not just executive buy-in) makes or breaks these tools Stay tuned for our next construction technology conversation.
