Welcome to the 2022 Infrastructure 50 List! The Infrastructure 50 List identifies the top technology solutions related to infrastructure construction in the following categories: Reality Capture / AI-based Tracking, Engineering & Design, Preconstruction Planning, Construction Management, Asset Management & Maintenance, Materials Management, and Equipment & Machinery. The list provides a brief description of each company along with it's name and logo. Each company is linked to it's associated company page for more detailed information. Additionally, a dive into the state of infrastructure technology and solutions is provided in the 2022 Infrastructure Report.
BuiltWorlds Top List Overview
As innovation and adoption in the construction space continues to increase, the sheer quantity of solutions and solution information available can be overwhelming. These top lists are BuiltWorlds answer to the problem of "what solutions exist for the problems contractors are facing?" Of course, a list of 50 is certainly not exhaustive for any category of construction. In fact, the BuiltWorlds database has identified and aggregated thousands of technology solutions that seek to solve the issues constantly plaguing the industry. These top 50 lists identify the top solutions in a variety of categories and sub-categories that have been identified to be the most relevant players in the market today. From this list, solution adopters, solution providers, experts, and investors can gain an introductory understanding of the top players in the market, and can use this information to guide them on the much more robust journey of understanding all of the relevant players.
Who Makes the List?
As mentioned above, this list is by no means exhaustive. It is more accurately described as a representation of the top solutions in the market today as identified by BuiltWorlds research. Top solutions in each category include a mix of the later stage, established solutions that dominate the market today alongside those companies still earlier on in their growth stages. BuiltWorlds growing analyst team works both within and outside of its member network to develop a global understanding of the solution providers for construction technology today. Some of these research efforts include the Benchmarking Program, solution provider surveys / top list applications, weekly analyst calls, forums, conferences, as well as other efforts. That said, as there are thousands of potential candidates for the top lists, the BEST way to ensure your company will not be overlooked is to take the solution provider survey. This will by no means guarantee your company a spot on the list, but it will guarantee the BuiltWorlds research team will review the data provided.
