In an industry long defined by fragmented
workflows and legacy tools, the push toward smarter, more connected construction management has gained real momentum. STO Building Group is leveraging a number of tools to make that connectivity better—including Outbuild, a platform designed to modernize scheduling and planning by bringing every stakeholder into a single, collaborative environment.

Equipment procurement is one of construction’s most complex challenges—fragmented supply chains, long lead times, and limited visibility can derail even the best-planned projects. David Hamilton, senior vice president of Construction Procurement Solutions at STO Building Group, is changing that. By working directly with manufacturers, leveraging real-time technology, and bringing strategic control to the process, his team is cutting through the noise and delivering results. In this Q&A, Hamilton breaks down what modern procurement looks like and why the old ways of doing business no longer cut it. Construction is a people business. Yes, we build physical structures, but strong
relationships undergird every project we deliver.

STO Building Group’s Super Con showed what happens when supers come together with a shared purpose and a common platform.

As with any successful project, preparation is key. In construction, it begins long before a single beam is placed. STO Building Group’s Greg Dunkle meets with construction leaders James Mezzadri, Troy Addis, and Kurt Thomas to discuss their approaches to preconstruction and how operational alignment leads to stronger, more predictable project outcomes

While parts of the life sciences sector have cooled in recent years, investment in large-scale research and manufacturing facilities continues across the globe. From advanced biomanufacturing plants to integrated research campuses, projects that once measured in the hundreds of thousands of square feet are now pushing well beyond that.

If there is one simple truth in construction it’s this: great partnerships make great projects. Structure Tone London’s Ilka VanHeerden and Scott Palmer discuss this very idea with Jayson Crosley (formerly of Turner & Townsend, now JPMC), digging into the benefits of strong supply chain relationships and what really makes a partnership work.

From sustainability and  education to cutting-edge construction techniques, Clemson University’s Forestry and Environmental Conservation Building project has it all. The new 78,152sf mass timber structure is designed to house the university’s Forestry and Environmental Conservation (FEC) department, which is part of the College of Agriculture Forestry and Life Sciences (CAFLS). Together with Ajax Building Company and Moseley Architects, the university aims to welcome faculty and students in April 2026.

In the Bronx—where hip-hop was born—a new landmark is rising. The Hip Hop Museum will stand as a living monument to rhythm, resilience, and community. And for Pavarini McGovern, this building is more than a project; it’s a movement.
