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.
