South Africa is fighting back against criminal gangs that have frozen $3.4 billion worth of schools, roads, and water projects. A new framework turns communities into partners who protect construction sites instead of watching them get hijacked.
A San Francisco company just secured $7.1 million to turn construction rollers into self-driving machines, tackling an industry that can't find half a million workers. The simple retrofit takes an hour to install and already has $26 million in waitlist demand.
Mexico's economy added nearly 671,000 jobs in July, the strongest monthly gain of 2026, driven partly by a construction boom that created over half a million positions in the past year. While challenges remain in formal employment, thousands of families now have paychecks where they had none before.
Self-driving cars just passed a massive milestone that proves they're not science fiction anymore. Waymo's autonomous vehicles have now driven over 200 million miles without a human behind the wheel, and the safety data shows they're already outperforming human drivers.
PlusAI's autonomous trucks now drive themselves 99.8% of the time, with commercial fleets rolling out in Texas and Europe. Factory-built driverless trucks are on track for full-scale launch in 2027.
A Chicago couple convinced a major construction company to postpone breaking ground on a new home after discovering a protected bird's nest on the lot. D.R. Horton agreed to delay the project until four killdeer eggs safely hatch.
Two industrial giants are joining forces to make construction sites cleaner and quieter. Their partnership could finally solve the puzzle of getting electric equipment to work seamlessly on real job sites.
Construction workers in Mexico are learning to read, write, and finish school without leaving their job sites. A foundation is setting up portable classrooms right next to cement mixers and scaffolding.
