The top construction technology news of 2025 | Dump Trucks Charlotte NC
As 2025 comes to a close, technology in construction seems more pervasive than ever. From alternative building materials such as 3D printing and mass timber to robotics, builders are looking to add tech in all forms to enhance their businesses.
However, it’s important to note that any discussion about construction technology isn’t complete without mentioning two key drivers — artificial intelligence and data centers.
These two facets of the construction tech landscape feed off each other. AI — and the AI-based workflows builders are increasingly adding to their tech stacks — can’t exist without more data centers. The demand for more data centers is also fueling contractors’ bottom lines, as they race to tap into this building boom.
