A New Era for Modular Design and Construction

April 25, 2018

Today’s worldwide capital projects are getting ever more complex and larger in scope, with many of these projects facing chronic cost overruns and schedule delays. In fact, as an industry, engineering and construction (E&C) almost just accepts the fact that nothing ever gets built on time or on budget. These conditions, combined with the ongoing exodus of industry knowledge due to retiring baby boomers, have pushed industry stakeholders around the world to take a step back and re-examine the status quo.

Realizing Connected Construction Promises: Unlocking Growth through Value Chain Digitization and Efficiency Monitoring

whitePaper | August 8, 2022

Engineering and construction (E&C) companies have traditionally accepted this volatility as a result of the inherent complexity of jobs: Construction projects bring together contractors, suppliers, equipment, labor, and global supply chains that are more precarious than ever. But one root problem is that most E&C companies are still trying to juggle this high level of complexity with a relatively low level of technology adoption. The construction industry lags far behind nearly all others in digitization, spending less than 2% of revenue on Information Technology

Advanced construction enterprise platform

whitePaper | September 11, 2022

Construction projects often feel like different worlds governed by different rules, flows, regulations, and procedures – but with a single, common goal. The goal is clear but getting there proves much more difficult than it should be. That’s why we decided to sync and empower them to move forward at the same pace right from the start. Constream is a suite of connected modules, where each one is focused on recreating a specific construction management process and serving solutions to day-to-day problems. Our ecosystem is designed with blockchain technology at its core in order to exploit the full potential of decentralization and fragmentation of the construction industry. Why revolutionize something that only needs to evolve?
