The future of construction is fueled by people, connected platforms, and data."-- Tooey Courtemanche from Procore Technologies' just-released Future State of Construction Report. I couldn't agree more, Tooey! It's why I made the transition from working for owners and GCs and came to Join over a year ago as their head of industry strategy. I want to be part of the movement that is making construction exponentially better for those doing the work, as well as for those who own the projects. Thank you, too, for quoting me in the doc (pg. 25). The partnership between Join and Procore offers project stakeholders a seamless collaborative effort, from the signing of the contract through close-out. Download the entire report from Procore.

Hot off the press! See how Layton Construction nailed super-early onboarding in a small construction market— helping the owner snag early funding (and score a bunch of other big wins while they were at it)! #constructiontechnology #contech #preconstruction #integratedprojectdelivery #targetvaluedesign #targetvaluedelivery

In today's volatile market, budgetary success hinges on early and continuous collaboration, not only with trade partners but with all stakeholders. Our clients need real-time, accurate estimates so they can make the best decisions for their projects.    To support our Target Value Design (TVD) and Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) efforts, we've implemented Join. Check out the results we achieved at a Montana hospital, where Michael Blassingim, Layton's Director of IPD and Design-Build, details how we delivered the final GMP and helped the owner secure early funding.

🤔 Onboard 78% of the trades in Conceptual Design on a huge replacement hospital project? Is that even possible? Won't the Owner have questions about subcontractor competitiveness? 😁 Yes and yes! 🗞️ Read in our hot-off-the-press case study how Layton Construction's Michael Blasingim and Brandon Babin achieved super-early onboarding in a very small construction market >and< as a result helped the owner get early funding (among other big benefits!). 👉 Construction Dive press release (link below) 👉 PDF of the entire case study (link in comments) https://lnkd.in/gbawGDQa #constructiontechnology #contech #preconstruction #integratedprojectdelivery #targetvaluedesign #targetvaluedelivery

We interviewed Andrew Zukoski in February to talk about Join and Sarah Buchner in March to talk about Trunk Tools - who will be our guest in April? Follow STO Building Group to find out! https://lnkd.in/ehQzvHAu

🌊 Coming next Tuesday, April 8: How to buy out key trades in super-early precon. 📅 In our latest case study, Layton Construction's Michael Blasingim and Brandon Babin describe how they bought out the majority of key trades in the Conceptual Design phase (!!!) on a large, technically complex project. 🫢 And, of course, the owner was beyond impressed. #constructiontechnology #contech #preconstruction #constructioninnovation #integratedprojectdelivery #targetvaluedesign

The vast reach of STO Building Group’s family of builders provides an incredible opportunity for innovative startups, like Join, to partner with us on the development of technologies that will radically shape the future of our industry. In this month’s Innovation Expo interview, Andrew Zukoski – cofounder of project delivery platform Join - sat down with our Chief Innovation Office Robert Leon to talk about the benefits of our successful partnership.

A huge thank you to Center for Innovation and DPR Construction for inviting us to the CFI dinner last Thursday in the Bay Area and giving us here at Join the opportunity to talk about setting up preconstruction early in the project life cycle for success.  It was great to see old friends such as Dean Reed and Atul Khanzode and Doanh Do 🏗️ 👷♂️ and meet so many new folks too!

CFI Innovation Dinner Showcases Join's Collaborative Platform We're excited to share highlights from our recent Center for Innovation in Design and Construction (CFI) dinner featuring Join, the collaborative project delivery platform transforming how teams make decisions from preconstruction through closeout. Industry Leaders Driving Collaboration Andrew Zukoski, CEO of Join, shared valuable insights on the fundamental nature of collaboration in construction decision-making. His presentation highlighted how Join's platform bridges the gap between owners, contractors, and design teams - creating a seamless environment where all stakeholders can contribute effectively. With adoption by over 40% of ENR's top 50 contractors, Join is rapidly becoming the industry standard for teams seeking better project outcomes through collaborative delivery. Data-Driven Project Success One of the most compelling aspects of Join's platform is its ability to capture valuable information from current projects and apply those insights to future work. The powerful benchmarking and analytics capabilities give teams unparalleled access to historical data, helping inform better decisions and creating a continuous improvement cycle. From Practice to Platform Jason Brenner, Head of Industry Strategy at Join, shared his personal journey from construction to technology, highlighting how Join reinforces Target Value Design (TVD) practices. His practical explanation of swim lanes and benchmarking demonstrated how Join transforms theoretical best practices into actionable tools for project teams. As Join continues to gain broad adoption across the country, we're seeing the real impact of collaborative technology on project outcomes. Join the Conversation The evening concluded with an engaging Q&A session that demonstrated the high level of interest in collaborative platforms among our attendees. CFI remains committed to showcasing innovative solutions that drive the construction industry forward. Stay tuned for our next innovation dinner!

CFI Innovation Dinner: Costs and Collaboration Center for Innovation in Design and Construction (CFI) hosted another successful innovation dinner, bringing together construction industry leaders for an evening of knowledge sharing and networking at DPR Construction's Redwood City office. Collaboration in Preconstruction This special event was co-hosted by two leading construction technology platforms—Join and Ediphi—focusing on the critical preconstruction phase where key project decisions are made. Attendees enjoyed a delicious Greek dinner while engaging with cutting-edge innovations shaping our industry's future. Insights from Technology Leaders The evening featured 15-minute presentations from both platforms: Join showcased their collaborative project delivery platform that connects owners, contractors, and design teams throughout the project lifecycle, enabling better decision-making and data continuity. Ediphi demonstrated their advanced cloud-based estimating software that transforms preconstruction from reactive to proactive, helping teams deliver more accurate budgets and streamline the path from concept to breaking ground. Tackling Industry Challenges Together The most valuable part of the evening came during the breakout discussions, where attendees identified and addressed major pain points in cost estimating and collaborative platforms. These conversations sparked new ideas and potential solutions that participants could take back to their organizations. Gratitude and Looking Forward Special thanks to Stuart Eckblad, FAIA, NAC for his guidance and leadership in making this dinner a success. His vision for fostering innovation in construction continues to bring together the brightest minds in our industry. The CFI innovation dinner series continues to provide a vital forum for industry leaders to connect, share knowledge, and collaborate on addressing our industry's most pressing challenges. Stay tuned for announcements about our upcoming events!
