At B&I Contractors, Inc., building what’s next means more than delivering exceptional
mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems.
It means embracing technology, innovation, and new ways
of working to create greater value for our customers, our
employees, and the communities we serve.
As the construction industry evolves, technology is transforming
how projects are designed, coordinated, fabricated, and
delivered. B&I is investing in these advancements to improve
efficiency, enhance quality, strengthen collaboration, and
prepare our teams for the future.
“Construction doesn’t have to be unpredictable chaos. As
project schedules get shorter and projects become larger and
more complex, predictability becomes one of the most valuable
things we can deliver to our clients. By moving more work into
a controlled manufacturing environment, we improve quality,
reduce variability, and deliver systems ready to install when
they’re needed. B&I’s investment in technology helps us give
our customers greater certainty on even the most demanding
projects.” — Jon Castro, Vice President of Manufacturing
From advanced fabrication capabilities to digital
construction tools, technology is becoming an essential
part of how we build. B&I’s expanded fabrication operations
incorporate automation and precision equipment that improve
productivity. Automated coil lines, fiber lasers, plasma cutting
systems, robotic welding, and other advanced technologies
enable our teams to prefabricate components with greater
accuracy, speed, and consistency. Moving more work from the
jobsite into a controlled fabrication environment also helps
improve safety, quality, and schedule predictability.
Technology also plays a critical role in project coordination.
Digital platforms connect project management, estimating,
field, fabrication, and BIM/VDC teams, providing access to
information when and where it is needed. Greater visibility and

collaboration allow teams to identify challenges earlier, make
informed decisions, and keep projects moving forward.
Together, these technologies are changing how B&I approaches
the entire project lifecycle—from design and coordination to
fabrication and installation.
“Technology is helping us build smarter, work more
efficiently, and deliver greater value for our customers. By
combining innovation with the expertise and craftsmanship of
our Employee-Owners, B&I is preparing to lead the future of
construction.”— Brian Kelly, CEO
But technology is only as powerful as the people who use it.
As a 100% employee-owned company, B&I recognizes that
technology investment must go hand in hand with
investment in our people. We equip our Employee-Owners
with the tools, training, and resources needed to work smarter,
develop new skills, and grow their careers. By combining
skilled craftsmanship and industry experience with emerging
technology, we are creating new opportunities for our workforce
while preparing for the changing demands of construction.
B&I continues to explore technologies and processes that
improve safety, quality, productivity, and sustainability. Through
prefabrication, automation, digital collaboration, and data-
driven decision-making, we are continually finding better ways
to build.
For more than six decades, B&I has built its reputation on
Quality, Integrity, Teamwork, and Safety. Today, innovation
and technology are strengthening that foundation and helping
us prepare for increasingly complex projects and evolving
customer needs.
Because building what’s next isn’t simply about keeping pace
with change. It’s about leading it.
