The 2020 BuiltWorlds U.S. Innovators Report was produced in conjunction with the 2020 BuiltWorlds Digital Summit. The production of this report was made possible through the support of Sage, Premier Sponsor of the 2020 BuiltWorlds Digital Summit and BW Member.
To showcase innovation from built industry players within the BW Member Network, we’ve highlighted 6 different companies who are pushing innovation and technology adoption enterprise-wide. We focused on stakeholders of different sizes, specialities, and locations in order to demonstrate the possibility – and importance – of driving innovation and technology adoption across business practices. Below are the companies and their unique approach to innovation:
1. X3 Builders – Tech-Enabled Emerging Player in Construction
2. Premier Mechanical – BIM-Focused Mechanical Contractor
3. Haskell – Strategic Investing Through Newly-Formed Corporate Venture Arm
4. Suffolk – Analytics-Based Safety Incident Prevention
5. Thornton Tomasetti – Firm-Wide R&D Programs and Accelerator
6. Bechtel – Innovation Across Large Enterprise EPC
By producing this report, we hope to provide insight into how innovation is happening across the industry regardless of size and ability. The company case studies below can serve as a roadmap, or in the very least inspiration, for other BW Members who want to adopt innovative practices but struggle to do so.
