Constructech’s Top Products 2026: The Best Technology Rises Up

The construction industry continues to face a convergence of challenges that have been building for years. A persistent labor shortage, lingering supply-chain disruptions, ongoing material constraints, and broader economic uncertainty have combined to create a high-pressure environment. In response, the path forward increasingly points to digital transformation, AI (artificial intelligence), and the IoT (Internet of Things), empowering construction firms to operate smarter, leaner, and more efficiently.

When applied strategically, technology can drive meaningful gains, improving productivity, reducing rework, minimizing manual and repetitive tasks, and enhancing jobsite safety. Throughout the life of a project, these gains can translate into stronger margins and long-term value. With the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence—more than $2.5 trillion anticipated in worldwide spending in 2026, according to Gartner—it’s clear how construction teams plan, build, and collaborate will continue to evolve in big ways.

That said, one of the industry’s biggest hurdles ...
