Smart Cities Rise Up

1 week ago | connectedworld.com | Peggy Smedley

Smart cities are coming—and in some cases they are already here. We continue to see case study after case study of how new technologies, including AI (artificial intelligence), continue to emerge, transforming our connected cities. Let’s consider one of those interesting cities in this column today. Travel with me through the city of Dubuque, Iowa. The city is using enhanced traffic management, including AI, for city management.
The Evolution of Infrastructure in 2025

1 week ago | connectedworld.com | Peggy Smedley

Much is changing in the world of construction. With fluctuating labor and material prices, advancements in new technologies such as AI (artificial intelligence), and a new federal administration, there are new opportunities to deliver projects faster than ever before. Of course, there will always be some hurdles to consider. Now, let’s look at what this means for construction infrastructure.
AI in Construction: Lifecycle Opportunities in Construction

1 week ago | connectedworld.com | Laura Black

We are currently in the middle of a “hot” technology series, looking at one of the hottest, most talked about technologies of 2025: AI (artificial intelligence). To start the series, we are looking at AI in the lifecycle of a building or infrastructure asset. Last week, we kicked it off looking at lifecycle opportunities in design. Today, let’s expand on this a bit by looking at how AI could extend even further, into construction.

Can we trust our supply chains? The reality is third-party involvement in cyber breaches is growing, with 30% of breaches linked to third-party involvement, which is twice as much as last year, and driven in part by vulnerability exploitation and business interruptions, according to Verizon’s 2025 Data Breach Investigations Report.
AI in Construction: Lifecycle Opportunities in Design

Design, build, operate: Imagine if data could flow seamlessly through throughout the lifecycle of a facility, being shared with all project participants? This is the conversation we have been having at Constructech for decades. Easily sharing data across the entire project and across various project team members opens up new opportunities for construction to improve project efficiency, heighten collaboration, and ultimately lead to a better bottomline.
Mitigating Risk in Construction

2 weeks ago | connectedworld.com | Peggy Smedley

For the construction industry, risk is a big part of the success equation. Mitigating risk can lead to greater success for the business, and ultimately to more sustainable, resilient homes, buildings, and infrastructure. Understanding and identifying risk, then, becomes a critical step in ensuring success for a project. Let’s consider just one example. $368 billion. This is the economic losses resulting just from global natural disasters in 2024. $368 billion. This number is so crazy high to me.
A Trillion Dollar Problem

How much of your workweek do you believe is spent on ‘work about work’ instead of doing the work? Work about work could be status checks, updates, emails, or other things that are required to stay aligned. This is precisely the question that was asked in a recent survey of 1,000 technology workers, team leaders, and managers across the nation, and the results are eye opening.
Construction People at Work

3 weeks ago | connectedworld.com | Peggy Smedley

The future of work is changing faster than many of us would probably like to admit. Today’s worker is far different than the workers of the past—and technology, such as AI (artificial intelligence) is changing the game. It, then, becomes critical to keep an eye on the trends causing the workforce to remain competitive in a changing marketplace. A new report gives insights into skills development and technology adoption, helping to paint a picture of the future of work.
AI in Construction: Growth Heating Up

3 weeks ago | connectedworld.com | Laura Black

Summer is coming, and things are heating up here in the United States. This summer, we will be embarking on a “hot” technology series, looking at one of the hottest, most talked about technologies of 2025: AI (artificial intelligence). You have likely heard some of the predictions. Gen AI will likely pass $1 trillion by 2028, which represents a more than 20-fold increase in the next three years. However, this is all easier said than done.
Build a Safer Jobsite with AI and Cameras
