Projectmates Construction Project
Projectmates, the enterprise construction project management software, is honored to be recognized as a Constructech Top Product for 2022. The annual awards recognize construction products that demonstrate outstanding innovation.

Trusted by the construction industry for more than 20 years, Projectmates was built for agility, scalability and affordability. The software provides immediate visibility into every project schedule, construction workflow, and real-time budget spend, empowering construction project owners to make data-driven decisions to control costs, schedules, and project risks.

“Project owners need data in the office and on the go. Projectmates delivers a cloud-based construction project management tool that puts information into the hands of owners — when and where they need it,” says Peggy Smedley, President and Editorial Director of Constructech.

“What sets Projectmates apart is the development of our software,I am particularly proud of this recognition because it clearly demonstrates our dedication to designing and creating a fully integrated system in-house. We don’t piece together functionality from various software providers and hope it works. Our software is developed in response to user feedback in conjunction with the latest construction technology demands. It’s this continuous innovation that fosters our long-standing relationships with our clients.”

-Varsha Bhave, president and Chief Technology Officer of Projectmates and its parent company, Systemates, Inc.

As a single, integrated platform, the need for additional construction management software is effectively eliminated, minimizing duplicate data and the errors that double-data entry can cause. This allows project managers to focus on managing projects instead of managing project data housed in various non-connected platforms — which leads to faster construction timelines and lower overall costs.

The Constructech Top Products honor products in the commercial construction, home building, and infrastructure markets. Evaluated by the Constructech editors, editorial board, and industry advisors, the awards recognize software, hardware, tools, equipment, and more, giving the ‘top’ technology designation to companies that have met criteria including a solid, underlying technology foundation and new innovative features to meet the ongoing needs of the construction industry.

Hilti Introduces Simplified Welded Steel Fastening with The Fx 3-A Cordless Stud Fusion System

PR Newswire | August 04, 2023

In the natural resources and shipbuilding industries, high-quality welding, bolting, and clamping can be considered an art. Additionally, skilled labor continues to be in high demand, affecting the overall cost and delivery of projects. Hilti North America, a global leader providing innovative tools, technology, software, and services to the commercial construction industry, recognized this as an opportunity for disruption—and developed the FX 3-A Cordless stud fusion system to help revolutionize fastening on steel. The new FX 3-A Cordless stud fusion system cuts welding time significantly. Covering higher loads and thinner base materials than previous Hilti products, cordless stud fusion is up to 75% faster than traditional welding methods and is a fully mobile and autonomous system with no power cables needed. This fastening method is also safer than traditional welding methods as it helps shield users from heat and gas. With virtually no sparks, splatters fumes and no angle grinder needed for the surface preparation, it offers more significant advantages from a health and safety perspective. A wide range of end-user benefits Compared to welding and other methods like bolting and clamping, cordless stud fusion allows more speed and flexibility in engineering, procurement, and construction. Engineers know they will get more reliable loads–through repeatable and consistent fastenings–as well as more flexibility for design changes. When combined with modular systems like Hilti's MT or Oglaend portfolios, this new fastening method enables greater use of supports. This is a result of the stronger connection to steel, which is often the weak point of supports with other methods like clamping. Procurement can choose from a wide portfolio of studs with international approvals and corrosion resistance (up to C5 in highly corrosive environments). As a result, construction becomes not only faster than traditional methods, but it can also be done by almost anyone—with minimal training—helping to reduce the risk of installation error. Collectively, the benefit of this system gives customers more flexibility and more capacity to finish the work earlier. It's also a cleaner system with no welding slag, burn marks or ceramic ring waste. When using an optional sealing washer with S-BT-MR SN threaded stud, post-painting is not required. With the easier-to-follow H-code setting customers can expect higher-quality and more consistency, with repeatable fastenings. Additionally, the Active Fusion Indicator (AFI) gives the installer systematic real-time feedback to help improve the quality of fastening. "The new FX 3-A Cordless stud fusion system is a game-changing departure from how the industry currently approaches fastening on steel—it helps to save time and resources while increasing reliability and safety. This system's simplicity will also help free up skilled labor to focus on more complex tasks without compromising on this step of construction," said Norbert Tiringer, Hilti North America's Director of Marketing for Energy & Industry. About Hilti North America Hilti North America is a leading provider of higher quality, innovative and specialized tools, fastening systems and software-based solutions for the professional user. With more than 3,800 highly trained Hilti account managers, engineers, and Hilti employees throughout North America, Hilti's expertise covers the areas of powder actuated fastening, drilling and demolition, diamond coring and cutting, measuring, firestopping, screw fastening, adhesive and mechanical anchoring, strut and hanger systems, solutions for tool crib productivity as well as worker health and safety.
