Construction startups are proliferating with tech solutions, but builders are demanding that these companies deliver real innovation and solve actual problems on job sites. For contech firms to succeed, they need to prove their products work, fit the market, and genuinely improve how construction gets done.
Caterpillar released six new attachments for compact loaders and mini excavators, including buckets, mulchers, grading beams, and winches designed for digging, grading, clearing, and recovery tasks. The expanded attachment lineup gives operators more versatility for different job site applications.
The AEC industry traditionally stores project data in large files that make it difficult for teams to access and use the information effectively. The AEC Data Model API unlocks this data by converting file-based workflows into data-driven processes that improve how teams collaborate and make decisions.
