A game changer in construction layouts! We experienced the extraordinary power of the HP SitePrint at our UpperRoom Church project in Dallas. In just one day, SitePrint laid out 15,000 sqft of wall layouts, wall-type tags, AV receptacles, fire protection hangers and heads, door swings, door tags, and even the hardware schedule. Our VDC Interns got an up-close look at this revolutionary technology and hands-on learning from our HP Partners. Would you use this on one of your projects?

My first Groundbreak is now in the books and wow, what an incredible experience. I have been looped into the construction industry for almost 10 years (which is nothing compared to so many of the people I met on the floor) and seeing the number of people gathering to talk about the future of the industry was inspiring. I got to connect with so many clients (present and future!) and learned a ton about tech and where it is focused in the industry. My favorite quote was from Todd Wynne, CIO at Rogers-O'Brien Construction: “Everyone operates in the geometry that we build. There is no more purposeful life than that of a builder.” Honored to be a part of the group supporting the profession building our world.??? ??? P.S. was too busy yapping to take photos, so here’s me with the shovel.

If construction had a tagline, what would it be? "It's not going to build itself." Mike Rowe’s answer at Procore Groundbreak said it all. This year’s conference unveiled new ideas reshaping the way we build: AI Agents and Copilot — Imagine a construction site where tasks like scheduling, safety management, and RFIs are handled by AI-powered digital assistants. These tools will be great for workflows — reducing delays, improving accuracy, and giving teams more time to focus on the build. Integrated Resource Management — No more juggling disconnected systems. A unified platform for labor, equipment, and material management promises smarter project planning and greater productivity. This will be important for forecasting and staying on schedule. Collaboration and Connectivity on a New Level — Procore is evolving from a “system of record” to a “system of intelligence.” By bridging teams and tools globally, it’s creating smarter, more connected workflows that drive collaboration — and better outcomes — on every project. As Bear Grylls reminded us: "The best tools come from within." But with tools like these, teams can focus on what really matters: building faster, safer, and smarter.
