RMA Group | January 18, 2023
RMA Group, Inc. ("RMA"), yesterday announced the acquisition of C Below, Inc., C Below Subsurface Imaging ("C Below"), a supplier of technology-enabled underground utility locating services. As part of the transaction, Chris Loera, C Below's CEO, will oversee the integration of the company’s operations with RMA's SiteScan Subsurface Imaging business ("SiteScan").
Since December 2021, RMA has acquired four companies, as part of its aggressive growth strategy to build a nationwide platform for testing and inspection services.
C Below, is a leading utility locating and mapping service provider for public agencies, architects, engineers, and contractors working on vital infrastructure projects in various markets. Its technicians and engineers utilize specialized equipment to provide advanced geophysical capabilities, including vacuum excavation, ground penetrating radar, electromagnetic location, BIM mapping and CCTV pipeline inspection. By validating the location, depth, and type of buried utility assets, C Below helps its clients reduce construction delays during the excavation of existing subsurface infrastructure.
RMA's CEO, Ed Lyon, stated, "C Below's success in developing the market for underground utility imaging inspired RMA to launch SiteScan in 2016." He further added, "The combination of C Below and SiteScan enables RMA to better serve our clients through a larger geographic footprint and new service capabilities. C Below operates with the same client-centric culture and a shared history of technology innovation as RMA, making it an invaluable addition to our family of testing, inspection, and certification services for infrastructure asset owners, contractors, and public agencies. I am excited to work with Chris Loera in identifying opportunities to expand C Below's operations on a national scale."

Procore Technologies | January 05, 2023
Offsight, a premier project management software provider, has partnered with leading construction management solutions developer, Procore Technologies. The integration narrows the visibility gap in the construction value chain between job sites and offshore building product manufacturers.
Industry experts believe factories will experience rapid growth by moving offsite with building materials manufacturers.
Modular, panelized, and prefabricated products worth hundreds of billions of dollars are moving through the construction value chain from offsite factories to job sites. As construction projects grow increasingly complex, offering project stakeholders factory-level visibility will successfully complete projects on schedule.
As a result of the integration, Offsight will be available on the Procore App Marketplace as an embedded experience within a Procore account. This will enable Procore customers, such as general contractors and project owners, to securely access Offsight to check project delivery status and quality reporting on construction materials, as they are made at their partner's factory site.
