How to Exploit Benefits of Estimating, Takeoff Software

By Lucy Perry

An erroneous project quote can cost a contractor plenty. If an estimator is wrong on the figures or off on the timeline, it can be corrected, but at what cost? The price of materials may cost the company in profits, and mistakes can cause the client to lose faith in the contractor. The answer may be found in your project management technology — estimating and takeoff software, to be exact.

Estimating and takeoff are just two aspects of a project bid, and it’s important to know the differences between the two.

Decarbonization Efforts...

Skanska USA, AGC Create Task Force to Reduce Emissions in Construction Industry Toyota via AP photo

The under-construction Toyota battery plant near Greensboro, N.C.

Toyota to Invest Another $2.1B Into N.C. Electric, Hybrid Battery Plant Toyota will invest another $2.1 billion in an electric and hybrid vehicle battery factory that is under construction near Greensboro, N.C. The plant will supply batteries to Toyota’s huge complex in Georgetown, Ky., which will build Toyota’s first U.S.made electric vehicle, a new SUV with three rows of seats.

The plans will not immediately create any more jobs at either the North Carolina or Kentucky factories, according to Susan Elkington, president of Toyota Motor Manufacturing Kentucky, who told the Associated Press that the new vehicle reflects the company’s “journey toward an electrified future.”

The manufacturer plans to employ 2,100 workers at the North Carolina battery factory, which will start production in 2025. The new investment will prepare infrastructure for its expansion and bring the total investment in the Randolph County plant, between Greensboro and Asheboro, to $5.9 billion.

The added funding is designed to meet the company’s goal of selling 1.8 million electric or hybrid vehicles in the United States by 2030, the AP learned.

Toyota broke ground to begin building the Tarheel State facility in 2021 and plans to begin operations there in 2025.

The battery plant will have six battery production lines, four for gas-electric hybrid vehicles and two for fully electric vehicle batteries, Toyota said in a statement. The central North Carolina site is relatively close to many of Toyota’s existing U.S. auto assembly plants in Missouri, Kentucky, Indiana, Alabama and Texas.

“With this proactive infrastructure investment, we will be able to quickly support future expansion opportunities to meet growing customer need,” Sean Suggs, president of Toyota Battery Manufacturing North Carolina, said in a news release.

Expansion Part of Toyota’s Shift to ‘Electrification’ The AP reported that Toyota Motor Corp. plans to sell 2

million zero emission hydrogen and battery electric vehicles worldwide per year by 2030. In the U.S. market, the manufacturer looks to sell 1.5 million to 1.8 million vehicles by 2030 that are at least partially electrified.

Toyota’s new President Koji Sato has promised what he called an aggressive shift on “electrification” of vehicles including hybrids.

Suggs pointed to a “portfolio approach” by Toyota that gives options to consumers.

“We truly believe that electrification is truly hybrid, plugin hybrid, fuel cell, all-electric,” he told reporters in late May. “And that’s what the customers are telling us as well. [We] believe that there’s going to be a gradual approach to electrification going forward.”

Toyota now offers the bZ4X electric compact crossover, built on what is called the e-TNGA, or “Toyota New Global Architecture” platform, also used in its Prius and Lexus models. The electric platform was developed in collaboration with Subaru.

The bZ4X is available in Japan, the United States, and parts of Europe, such as Germany and Britain, as well as China and Thailand.

Both States to Benefit From Toyota’s Latest Investment Toyota’s 9-million-sq.-ft. Kentucky complex now employs 9,500 people who make the Camry sedan, RAV4 Hybrid SUV, several engines and other components. The company said jobs will shift to the new electric vehicle when production starts in 2025.

Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear called the expansion of the North Carolina battery plant and shift to electric vehicles at his factory an “enormous announcement” that means ongoing job security for workers at the automaker’s Georgetown, Ky., complex.

“All those families can be secure and know that they’re going to have the security of those continuing jobs for the years and decades to come,” he said. 

Skanska USA, one of the world’s largest development and construction companies, announced it has co-created the newly formed Associated General Contractors of America (AGC) Task Force on Decarbonization and Carbon Reporting, to address the challenges around reporting and reducing carbon emissions in the construction industry.

Over the coming year, the Task Force will help standardize carbon reporting by developing an industry guidebook and educational resources on decarbonization best practices.

The Task Force is part of AGC’s climate change initiative, which aims to shape climate change policies that impact the construction industry, while reducing the industry’s environmental impact.

Other founding members include Clark, DPR and Ryan Companies, with additional members now including Granite, Kiewit, Mortenson and Turner.

“The AGC Task Force unites some of the biggest construction companies to support the industry’s decarbonization efforts,” said Myrrh Caplan, national vice president of sustainability at Skanska USA Building and chair of the AGC Task Force on Decarbonization and Carbon Reporting.

“The committee will develop a guidebook to help contractors understand how to calculate and report emissions, and how to set actionable goals as they play an instrumental role in addressing climate change. We look forward to being part of a process that reduces the industry’s environmental impact and creates more resilient communities.”

The construction industry and the built environment are responsible for nearly 40 percent of global carbon emissions that impact climate change. Contractors are increasingly exploring efforts that reduce their carbon footprint including changes in their operations, adoption of new policies and investments in new technologies. Skanska understands the construction industry’s responsibility to take action and has consistently led industry decarbonization and sustainability efforts.

Globally, Skanska aims to achieve net-zero carbon emissions along its entire value chain by 2045, with a 70 percent reduction in controlled emissions by 2030. From 2015 to 2022, Skanska achieved a 55 percent reduction of carbon emissions from its own operations (scope 1 and 2). In 2019, Skanska alongside the Carbon Leadership Forum and other partners, helped create the Embodied Carbon in Construction Calculator (EC3 Tool), to calculate and evaluate the embodied carbon within a wide array of building materials. The partnership made the tool “open-source” to democratize data and provide transparency as companies and governments aim to achieve their carbon reduction goals. 

FDOT Unveils Plans for FIU Bridge Five Years After Collapse Five years after the catastrophic collapse of a pedestrian bridge with a novel design meant to punctuate Florida International University’s (FIU) ascendancy as a public institution, state engineers are finally ready to build another in its place.

This time, though, innovative building methods are out. So is FIU, which conceived of the ambitious project a decade ago and oversaw design and construction of the failed structure. The university will only serve in an advisory role for the new bridge’s creation.

The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), which took direct control of the project from FIU after the collapse, has now unveiled plans for a $20 million, 290-ft.long footbridge over eight lanes of heavy traffic on Southwest Eighth Street.

Like the earlier version, the new bridge will link FIU’s main campus to the small, working-class city of Sweetwater and its flourishing University City, a dense cluster of apartment towers with cafes and shops for students, faculty and school staff.

Despite some superficial resemblance to the old bridge, the nearly finished design plans for the new structure take a decidedly conservative approach to engineering and construction — an effort clearly intended to reduce to a minimum the risk of a repeat of the shocking calamity that occurred on March 15, 2018.

While still under construction, that bridge’s 950-ton steel-and-concrete main span crumpled onto the roadway below, crushing cars stopped at a red light and killing six people, including an FIU student and a construction worker. Ten others were injured, including a crew member who was permanently disabled.

Federal investigators later determined the probable cause of the collapse to be a design error. They faulted everyone involved in the project, including FIU, state transportation officials and private contractors, for failing to stop work or close the road after alarmingly broad cracks began spreading along the bridge’s structural supports well before it was finished.

Officials with FDOT are confident that the new footbridge’s critical design changes will prevent another catastrophe.

Proposed Bridge Means ‘New Hope’ for FIU FIU President Kenneth Jessell, who helped plan the bridge project in his earlier role as the university’s chief financial officer, said he is looking forward to the start of construction on the new structure.

“This is the fifth anniversary of the bridge collapse, and it certainly brings up the tragedy of the bridge, but it also brings up new hope in terms of our ability to deliver on

FDOT rendering

The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), which took direct control of the project from FIU after the collapse, has now unveiled plans for a $20 million, 290-ft.-long footbridge over eight lanes of heavy traffic on Southwest Eighth Street.

our commitment to providing a safe passage across Southwest Eighth Street,” he told the Miami Herald in March. “From what we’ve seen, the community is very excited about the bridge.”

Unlike the old footbridge, a unique design consisting entirely of reinforced concrete, the blueprint for its replacement — soon to go out for construction bidding — relies on tried-and-tested engineering. A pair of steel girders running the full length of the bridge will provide sturdy, nearly fail-safe support, the Herald reported.

And unlike the old main span, built by the side of the road and hoisted into place in one piece under the accelerated bridge construction (ABC) method designed to speed construction and minimize traffic disruptions, the new bridge will be erected the old-fashioned way: bit by bit, an approach that will require regular road and lane closures over two years of work, starting in about a year.

Investigators later determined that the ABC technique played no direct role in the bridge’s failure.

At a public presentation of the new plans in Sweetwater earlier in the year, FDOT and consulting design engineers from Miami’s BCC Engineering said that their safety-

above-all goal will mean closures for even minor overhead work.

Gateway to College Town Like its failed predecessor, the new span is meant to be more than just a bridge to safely convey people on foot and on bikes over eight lanes of rushing traffic.

Rather, the new footbridge is designed to also stand as a conspicuous new gateway to FIU’s main campus and University City, an initiative that has given the school’s sprawling suburban home what it has long lacked — ample student housing and a collegetown atmosphere — while revitalizing Sweetwater’s formerly depressed and underdeveloped downtown.

To that end, the new bridge reproduces some elements of the old, if not its unusual structural design.

The steel beams of the structure will fully support a smooth, poured-concrete walkway topped by a continuous canopy for protection from the elements. Steel cables from leaning twin pylons, 150 ft. tall, will help stabilize the bridge and dampen vibrations — though they are meant mostly for looks, not to support the bridge’s weight. The mast, cables and bridge will all be brightly illumi-

nated after dark.

Elevator towers and sweeping ramps and stairways will rise from ground-level plazas at each end of the bridge, and function as student hangouts equipped with Wi-Fi, concessions, and a suite of electronic security features.

The bridge section over the canal that separates University City and Southwest Eighth, also known as the Tamiami Trail, will be wider than the main span to accommodate seating and special events.

“This bridge will be a signature bridge,” said Daniel Raymat, an engineer with BCC Engineering.

Once the bridge is finished, FIU will own, manage and support it. Maintenance costs, estimated at $60,000 annually, will be split between FIU and Sweetwater, the Miami news source learned.

Is New Bridge Necessary?

Some skeptics, though, have questioned whether the expensive new bridge, funded mostly with federal and state transportation grants, is necessary. Some road planners believe the Southwest Eighth crossing at 109th Avenue, where the bridge would go, see FIU page 62

Jacksonville Jaguars Unveil Design for Proposed Stadium The NFL’s Jacksonville Jaguars showcased the team’s vision for a dramatic overhaul of TIAA Bank Field June 7 that would wrap it in reflective material, build a shadedelivering roof that fans have long requested, and make numerous other changes that team owner Shad Khan said would make it the Jaguars’ long-time home and spur downtown development.

The rough estimate for the cost of the topto-bottom renovation of TIAA Bank Field could be up to $1.4 billion, the Florida Times-Union reported. The city and Khan would share the expense if they can reach an agreement on the stadium and an accompanying extension of the team’s lease for playing at the municipally owned stadium.

The Jaguars laid out a timeline that would have the rebuilt stadium ready for football in 2028. But any deal would require intense negotiations between the Jaguars and incoming mayor-elect Donna Deegan. Ultimate approval would be up to a new City Council taking office July 1 for four-year terms.

“It’s a beautiful vision for economic revitalization,” Deegan said in a statement after the team posted an animated video of its design. “Infrastructure, especially in our older historic neighborhoods, will be one of the key priorities of my administration. I look forward to the coming negotiations and a deal that is good for taxpayers [and] which keeps the Jaguars in Jacksonville for generations to come.”

The city has financed renovations on a smaller scale at the stadium since it was built in 1995. The negotiations this time will have more at stake because the current lease for the Jaguars to use TIAA Bank Field will end after the 2029-30 season unless extended.

“There’s going to be a lot of give and take, and the lease negotiations will be happening at the same time as the negotiations on the renovation,” Jags President Mark Lamping told the Jacksonville news source. “We would not invest the amount of money that Shad [Khan] is prepared to invest in the cityowned building without a lease extension, nor would the city.”

He said he expects the Jaguars, and the city will reach an agreement on the stadium and the lease.

Stadium Would Be City’s Costliest Project Ever The price tag to overhaul the stadium would be the most expensive civic project in the city’s history, dwarfing the $350 million Duval County Courthouse complex.

A proposed memorandum of understanding between the city and Khan would establish a framework for future negotiations on a stadium deal.

Another document, first reported by Florida Politics, shows how that framework

The exterior of the stadium would be wrapped by a “first-of-its-kind mirrored material” that will provide an energy-efficient facade, according to the Jaguars.

might work in terms of dollars put up by the city, the Jaguars, and Khan’s development firm, Iguana Investments.

It shows an estimated cost of between $1.2 billion to $1.4 billion for the extensive improvements to TIAA Bank Field. In the example of how the city and Khan could split that cost, the city share would be 67 percent of the price, or a range of $800 million to $934 million. The Jaguars would foot the rest of the bill.

Compared to the cost of renovating the existing stadium, the investment summary says the estimated cost of a new stadium would be $1.9 billion to $2.1 billion.

Updated Stadium Could Be ‘Transformational’ for City Even a renovated stadium would create a brand-new appearance, based on renderings and the video illustrating the conceptual design by HOK, the Kansas City, Mo., architectural firm selected by the Jaguars.

The team released a four-minute video on June 7 that shows swooping animated views of what the “reimagined stadium” would look like inside and outside the venue.

Peter Broeder, a design principal for HOK, called it a “transformational opportunity” whose impact reaches into the rest of downtown and surrounding neighborhoods.

The most obvious difference is the addition of a roof that would protect fans from scorching sun in early-season games as well as rainstorms throughout the year. Broeder compared the “roof membrane” to the finish on sunglasses in how it will disperse sunlight throughout the interior of the stadium. It would be a fixed roof, not one that can be opened and closed.

The exterior of the stadium would be wrapped by a “first-of-its-kind mirrored

material” that will provide an energy-efficient facade, according to the Jaguars. The stadium would not have air conditioning, but the Times-Union reported the material used in constructing the building would cut heat retention by 70 percent and lower temperatures by 10 to 15 degrees.

The reconstruction of the stadium also would open four corners of the building to create breezeways so more air can circulate through the building. Broeder said the construction will remove a large amount of the seating bowl “in a surgical fashion” for those four breezeways.

“We’re going to be protecting [fans] from the sun and from the rain, but we’re going to be maximizing air flow throughout the building,” he told the Times-Union.

Jaguars’ fans would enter the stadium by walking through a “subtropical Floridian park” on their way to the main concourse, which would be 30 ft. above the ground and have wide-open views of the St. Johns River and downtown Jacksonville, according to the team.

The stadium’s capacity for NFL contests would be 62,000, with the ability to expand to 71,500 seats for college football games, plus more capacity for concerts. Currently, TIAA Bank Field holds 67,000 people for Jaguars games and up to 77,000 for college matchups.

Lighting and digital technology would enable changes in the stadium’s appearance, adding to that part of the fan experience, the team said.

The stadium’s concourses would be greatly expanded and have 13 new elevators and 32 new escalators, making it easier for fans to circulate around the stadium. The upper concourse would encircle the entire stadium.

Jaguars Hope Full Construction Can Begin in 2026 The “early work” for construction would start in February 2025 and full construction would kick off in February 2026, according to the proposed memorandum of understanding. Construction would finish in July 2028 — meaning that for two seasons, the Jaguars would not play home games at TIAA Bank Field.

Lamping said possible alternative sites during those two years would be to play Jaguars home games at the University of Florida’s stadium in Gainesville or Camping World Stadium in Orlando.

The two-year construction timeframe would require the annual Florida-Georgia rivalry games to play elsewhere in 2026 and 2027 but then come back to Jacksonville in 2028. The city’s Gator Bowl also would move to a temporary location during the renovation.

“From the Jaguars perspective, we would like to see it done in the least disruptive, shortest, least expensive fashion, and that would be to do it over two years,” Lamping said. “But again, that’s just us. There are many other people that need to weigh in on this.”

He added that the NFL owners, who must approve any agreement between the city and the Jaguars, will be looking at the history of what the local share of funding has been for recent stadium deals in other small-market cities.

In the schedule put forward by the Jags, the team and the city then would look to have a final agreement hammered out by March 2024 and NFL approval by the following May for how to proceed with the stadium plan. 

Hills Machinery’s Expansions Bring Presence to Southeast

By Eric Olson CEG CONTRIBUTING EDITOR

After a company becomes successful, staying that way means it needs to be like a living organism — always growing and forever adapting.

Over the past several years, the people at Hills Machinery, a Columbia, S.C.-based distributor of equipment built for construction, paving, environmental and agricultural needs, have wholeheartedly embraced that philosophy, with the result being that it is one of the top dealers in the Southeast.

When a team of two brothers, Jim and Adam Hills, began Hills Machinery in 2007, their goal was to build a business that gave customers a range of practical solutions to fulfill their construction and equipment needs.

“We aspired to have growth, but I don’t think you can ever imagine what things will truly be like many years later,” said Jim Hills, the company’s president. “The pivotal thing that has happened over time is the acquisition of talented people and great OEM partners — in that order.”

Case Construction became a major product line for Hills Machinery in 2010, followed by Hitachi Construction & Mining products, makers of excavators; Toro, Rokbak and Hudson Brothers Trailers. They join the heavy paving lines available through Hills — Sakai America, Mauldin and Astec/Roadtec.

Its customers also can find machines manufactured by Case IH, Carlson Pavers, Felling Trailers, FAE, Edge Innovate, Rubble Master, Eagle Crusher and IROCK. Hills Machinery was pleased to be able to attract both Astec/Roadtec and Sakai products as they are highly soughtafter from highway contractors, and each bring in a different customer base from what its dealerships in North and South Carolina had generally been serving, Hills said.

In those two states, Sakai’s compaction paving-only machines are available through their Hills Machinery branches.

“With Astec, we focused on product support in the first year because of a lack of inventory availability,” he said, adding that Astec’s addition came about in 2021. “It has also brought a significant amount of parts and product support business to us that we had to make sure we were ready to handle, both in added parts personnel and experienced and trained people in the service department. We continue to invest in the people, and the people have been the key to both the customer and the dealer success.”

In addition, Hills Machinery’s Rental Division is now active in the two Carolinas as well and is due to be expanded to its branches in Virginia and Georgia as a focal point of the distributorship’s overall business plan, he explained.

Hills Machinery Branches Out Until recently, Hills Machinery had nine distributorships across the two Carolinas — in Charlotte, Greensboro, Raleigh, Greenville, Wilmington and Asheville in the Tarheel State; and, in South Carolina, Charleston, Columbia and Greenville.

Then, Hills began to cast its eyes north to Virginia, and south to Georgia, to invest in new facilities to expand the product lines it represents.

In 2022, it opened a full-service facility in the Richmond, Va., market and plans to expand into a stand-alone facility further east in Chesapeake in the state’s Tidewater region.

Similarly, the distributor is developing a branch in Savannah, Ga., slated to open its doors this month and has recently wel-

comed customers to its new store in Wise, Va. “We prefer to go with an existing location in Chesapeake, Va., because we can get up and running more quickly, but if we are faced with needing to build, we are prepared to do that as well,” Hills said. “We do have resident technicians in most of the areas where we do not have brick and mortar today. Our response time generally should be from a few hours to within a couple of days for any situation.”

In another market, a Hills Machinery-affiliated company, RJV Equipment/Ditch Witch of Tennessee, operates branch offices in Nashville and Knoxville. Recently, a contract was signed to build a new, second facility in the Nashville market, he said.

It is set to open in the third quarter of this year and offer Ditch Witch underground machines, Kubota construction and Sakai paving equipment.

“We brought on the full line of Sakai products for both the Tennessee and Virginia markets,” he said.

Hills views the Volunteer State as a growth opportunity for the crushing product lines already carried by Hills Machinery in the Carolinas, Virginia, and soon, in the planned Georgia branch.

Dealership Expansion Under Way in South Carolina All three of the Palmetto State branches of Hills Machinery either have or will soon undergo expansion efforts.

According to Hills, the Columbia store recently added a parts depot measuring approximately 80 ft. long, 40 ft. wide and 24 ft. high, and a high-rack parts system dedicated to Hitachi and Astec products. It also sports 3,000 sq. ft. of new office space, and an 80-ft.-long by 40-ft.-wide drive-through service bay.

“Charleston will feature a large-scale initiative with the addition of a separate building to house office space and a new, 6,000-square-foot training and rental center,” he said.

“The existing office, parts and service departments there will be completely remodeled, and we will quadruple our parts storage capacity and double the service area while modernizing it. When finished, it will be a 100 percent increase over the current square footage.”

In addition, the Upstate South Carolina facility in Greenville will likely see the construction of two more drivethrough bays that should double that branch’s service department capacity as well.

Major OEMs Have Vested Interest in Hills When Hills Machinery decided to expand its business into these other states, it also did so with the intention of selling Hitachi heavy equipment in those markets.

Hills said that the manufacturer played a key role in making that decision.

“They wanted to have larger-scale dealers, and we aspired to continue our growth in those regions,” he said. “So, it fits see HILLS page 32

DEVELON announced its top-performing dealers of 2022.

The top 10 dealer enterprises are among more than 180 authorized DEVELON construction equipment dealers in North America.

Top DEVELON Dealer of 2022 Equipment East LLC was the top-performing DEVELON dealer in North America in 2022.

Equipment East has 40-plus years of experience in the construction industry and has been named a DEVELON

top dealer nine times in the last 10 years. Equipment East is owned by Giovanni and Gilda Albanese. The company operates dealerships in Dracut and Brockton, Mass., and Bow, N.H. “We really get to know our customers and the types of jobs they perform,” said Giovanni. “With that information, we source and have available the machines and attachments they need to maximize their efficiency and get their jobs done.”

Giovanni and Gilda, his wife, also attribute their company’s success to their dedicated employees.

“When you surround yourself with a good, hardworking team of people, success is attainable,” he said.

Top-performing DEVELON dealers may choose from a selection of several incentives that will improve their profitability when selling and servicing DEVELON equipment. In addition, DEVELON leadership may look to these dealers for valuable input regarding DEVELON initiatives and direction because they successfully represent the dealer network.

“We are encouraged by our DEVELON dealers who are high performers year in and year out,” said Todd Roecker, vice president of growth initiatives at DEVELON. “We hope to carry this success onward as we continue to roll out our new brand through our dealer network in North America.” 

Five Reasons Construction Job Sites Are Going Electric Electrification of construction machinery is hardly a new concept.

For years, electric equipment has been commonly seen in a variety of applications, from demolition and mining to aerial lift and industrial work.

Now, however, electric equipment is becoming increasingly prevalent on and around job sites. Its potential is evident. Its benefits are clear. Its long-term place in the industry is no longer up for debate. And, as electric vehicles continue to be more widely adopted by consumers, all that’s left to do is examine — and try to accurately determine —how the construction industry should prepare for the technology to become fully mainstream in the not-too-distant future.

“If you go out about three years, there will be approximately 700 electric vehicles roadside, and that’s not even getting into construction and agriculture,” said David Knight, CEO of Terbine, a provider of technology for the seamless exchanging of IoT data between the mobility and energy sectors, who spoke on how the construction industry should prepare for the widespread adoption of electric vehicles in the not-too-

While voltages are very good now, they are expected to improve significantly in the coming years.

distant future at ConExpo-Con/AGG 2023.

According to Knight, there are five main reasons why equipment end users in the construction industry are strongly considering investing (or already have invested) in electric machinery. They are: 1. Lower operating costs — The savings on diesel costs, alone, are significant. Most OEMs cite a range of four to eight hours of runtime for “average” use on electric compact equipment, with an eight-hour overnight charge. And while it’s quick and easy to compare run times on a fully charged

electric machine with a full tank on diesel units, there’s no idle on an electric machine. Therefore, an operator can get a day or more of productive work out of it because they’re typically not running a machine for eight continuous hours a day.

2. Lower maintenance costs — Reciprocating engines possess many friction-generating parts, which fail.

The friction, and the frictional components and amount of heat generated with an engine running, is really what contributes to parts being replaced and maintained.

3. Federal and state tax credits — Incentives can offer savings in the tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, across a single fleet. Because they change all the time, it’s important for organizations to stay up to date regarding what’s available, both regionally and nationally.

4. Carbon credits and offsets — Carbon credits, also known as carbon allowances, work like permission slips for emissions.

When a company buys a carbon credit, usually from the government, they gain permission to generate one ton of CO2 emissions.

When one company removes a unit of carbon from the atmosphere as part of their nor-

mal business activity, they can generate a carbon offset. Other companies can then purchase that carbon offset to reduce their own carbon footprint.

5. ESG goals — Many organizations are setting and working toward Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance (ESG) goals, and it’s a trend that’s only expected to become more common with time. Without goals and corresponding policies, organizations face ESG risk, which includes loss of investors, a damaged reputation and fines for regulatory noncompliance.

There is every reason to believe the electric vehicles and electric equipment will continue to develop and improve over time, said Knight, thus making a greater level of adoption even more likely in the very near future.

According to the Terbine CEO, the architectures of electric vehicles are going to even higher voltages. The higher the voltage, he explained, the less current is needed for a given amount of wattage. That also means less heat. And, while voltages are very good now, they are expected to improve significantly in the coming years.

“They’re going to be really good in three to five years, and that’s going to allow for even faster and more efficient charging than ever before,” he added. 

Work Continues On FDOT’s $76.4M Daryl Carter Parkway In multiple counties, the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) continues to monitor work on the I-4 Beyond the Ultimate project. The ongoing construction includes reconstructing the Daryl Carter Parkway overpass into a diverging diamond interchange (DDI).

“The goal of the I-4 Beyond the Ultimate program is to improve safety, mobility and connectivity in central Florida along approximately 40 miles of I-4 — 20 miles on each side of the I-4 Ultimate project to the east and west,” said FDOT district five public information director Cindi Lane. “I-4 Beyond the Ultimate addresses the biggest challenges to mobility on I-4 in Volusia, Seminole, Orange and Osceola counties through a series of separate projects designed and constructed by the department.”

The work will improve pavement, bridges and interchanges and enhance appearance and design. It also will make significant improvements to the infrastructure to enable the collection and communication of vital traffic data.

“The Beyond the Ultimate project will increase capacity in specific areas along I-4 to accommodate traffic moving in and out of the region,” said Lane. “FDOT closely monitors current and projected traffic volumes on I-4, as well as potential traffic pattern changes stemming from central Florida’s rapid growth. Building a strong, resilient, community- focused transportation network is key to having a successful regional transportation system.”

FDOT has been working for the last eight years on planning and designing I-4 improvements in the area.

Most recently, FDOT has been making improvements along the I-4 corridor from U.S. 27 to the beginning of the I4 Ultimate project at Kirkman Road (State Road 435). This includes the recent completion of a diverging diamond interchange (DDI) at I-4 and County Road (C.R.) 532.

Construction also has begun at I-4 and Daryl Carter Parkway. This project will transform the overpass into a DDI and provide additional access to local attractions, while relieving congestion at the I-4 and S.R. 535 interchange. The contractor for the I-4 and Daryl Carter Parkway improvement project is Superior Construction.

“The project at Daryl Carter Parkway and additional interchange improvement projects at Sand Lake Road and S.R. 535 will each construct a segment of a new westbound I-4 express lane from west of Sand Lake Road to west of S.R. 536,” said Lane. “Once all three projects are finished, the express lane will open to traffic, providing additional benefits to motorists looking for a reliable transportation choice.”

The construction cost of the I-4 and Daryl Carter interchange improvement effort is $76.4 million.

Crews are transforming the Daryl Carter Parkway overpass into an interchange, providing additional access to local attractions and relieving congestion at the I-4 and ApopkaVineland Road (S.R. 535) interchange.

“This interim project will add three new ramps connecting I-4 to Daryl Carter Parkway: exit ramps from both directions of I-4 to Daryl Carter Parkway and an entrance ramp to eastbound I-4,” said Lane. “A westbound I-4 entrance ramp will be built as part of a future project.”

Completing the ramps involves not only constructing them, but also providing water treatment from the ramps and adding additional pavement. Steps to creating the DDI include restriping the roadway and installing appropriate signalizations for the crossovers.

“The future DDI at Daryl Carter Parkway will operate in very much the same way as the one that’s currently opera-

lane from west of Daryl Carter Parkway to west of Central Florida Parkway. This managed lane will be constructed in three separate projects with the finished lane extending from west of Sand Lake Road to west of S.R. 536.

Construction is still in the early stages.

According to Lane, progress to date has been focused on establishing safe work zones by clearing and grubbing, setting up environmental protections and maintenance of traffic. Drainage work has begun. The major excavation will be for the drainage system to add additional retention and installation of drainage pipes.

This major interchange project will require all elements of roadway and bridge construction. During construction the contractor will be using excavators, pile driving equipment, multiple cranes, compactors and asphalt equipment.

Main materials will include limestone and asphalt. For bridge construction, precast concrete piles, precast beams, reinforcing steel and concrete will be required. For mast arms and sign structures, steel will be needed. The use of plastics will be minimal for ITS and signalization equipment.

Work on the I-4 and Daryl Carter interchange improvement project began in November 2022 and is expected to be complete by early 2026.

Regarding County Road 532, interchange construction was completed in early March. The contractor is finalizing I4 widening with the addition of auxiliary lanes between C.R. 532 and S.R. 429. The full operational improvements at this interchange will be achieved with the opening of the additional lanes.

The $10.4 million project converted the I-4 and C.R. 532 interchange into a DDI. This innovative design enhances safety for motorists by allowing drivers to make left turns without crossing in front of traffic. It also improves mobility by reducing the number of traffic signal phases.

In addition to the diverging diamond design, all four ramps at the interchange have been widened to increase capacity. This project also added dedicated bike lanes and see PARKWAY page 70

well into our long-term strategy of carrying several of the product lines that we have in the Carolinas and supplements the growth of the new businesses.”

Hills Machinery also partners with Toro to market its rugged lines of landscaping and compact construction equipment in all three South Carolina branches as well as in Charlotte and Wilmington, N.C. “Toro gives us another product offering for many of our customers in the landscaping industry that buy compact track loaders and mini excavators,” said Adam Hills, the dealership’s executive vice president. “The compact equipment line brings in new customers, but it is also an addition to our rental fleet.”

Jim Hills added that the small end of the compact line, within which Toro products occupy, is likely the fastest growing segment of the market.

“We have not been able to keep them in stock longer than a week or so once they hit the yard,” Adam Hills said. “We have people waiting on them because the quality of the equipment has been so good.”

Large Investment in Recycling Machines Even before Hills Machinery planned its branch network expansions into Virginia and Georgia, the company long had salespeople working in those markets to sell its aggregate crushing and screening equipment.

Among the environmental machines available companywide are Rubble Master, IRock Crushers, Eagle Crusher and Edge Innovate.

Their inclusion in Hills Machinery’s inventory represents a sizable investment made by the dealership in the crushing, screening and recycling segment of the equipment business over the years. In fact, the company created a division that only focuses on these types of products.

“It has been highly successful from the perspective that it allows us to come to the table with full-service solutions for those customers,” Hills said. “We may sell them a crusher, but many times they may need to have a device to load the machine, and very often they need products to stack the materials, so as a full-service provider, we can come in with a value add. We have realized that it is critically important to be focused and to be knowledgeable and professional in that area, which is why we have specific divisions within our organization.”

Just like the environmental specialists at Hills Machinery, its paving division personnel and product-support people only concentrate on asphalt equipment and service.

“We can bring full-service solutions to the market; however, we are not generalists,” he added. “Rather, we must be professional experts and represent each of these products.

Our investments today must be in people, training and facilities in order to execute successfully.”

To that end, Hills Machinery works to identify talented people — not just service technicians, but those with mana-

gerial skills and sales talent.

As a result, the dealership quickly became proficient at running an effective 24-hour-a-day product support business, Hills said.

“We have a rapid response program that is in place for any calls that come in after hours – anywhere in the Carolinas – and it is our aim to have someone on a job within two hours under any circumstance knowing, for instance, the perishable nature of a lot of the materials used in the paving business,” he said.

Success Rooted in Product Support Hills noted that his company’s attentiveness in supporting its products “is the bedrock upon which we hold onto the customers that we have today, and it allows us to have an opportunity to do business with customers in the future.

Product support is a business unto itself so it is in our best interest to be as good at it as we possibly can. It is also in our customers’ best interest to make sure that they continue to grow their business successfully with us as their partner.”

He added that his company has been an attractive ally for top-tier equipment makers because they understand Hills Machinery will not only make the necessary investments in products and support but place the focus squarely on their machines as anchors of the dealership.

“When we take on any partner, we are fully invested in both their success, and ours, and the entire organization is geared to make sure that happens,” Hills said.  CEG

For SBM Mineral Processing, Hybrid Continues ‘By Nature’ For almost 40 years, SBM Mineral Processing has been consistently using diesel-electric drive systems and is a supplier of cross-technological hybrids for trackmobile jaw and impact crushers from under 50,000 to 350,000 lbs. operating weight.

Due to their sophisticated drive concept, the JAWMAX and REMAX plants rank at the top of their respective machine classes regarding crusher dimensions and production output without making any compromises concerning their mobility between sites or on the site, the manufacturer said.

Homogeneous Concept for All Types of Machines SBM pursues a homogeneous concept for all of its plants to ensure the significant benefits of diesel-electric drive systems in all power classes. Depending on the market region, this also includes a plug-in option that enables the all-electric complete operation of the plants via mains power or external generators.

In addition to significantly lower onsite emissions in terms of exhaust gases and noise, all-electric operation brings considerable operating cost savings, the manufacturer said.

Parallel to the expansion of its global sales activities, SBM is working at full speed to make the plug-in option technically available in important regions, such as the North American markets.

The centerpiece of all hybrid electrified SBM mobiles plants consists of a dieselgenerator-unit with emission-optimized Cummins diesel engines and directly flanged low-maintenance generators. The compact drive units are positioned outside of the dust-intensive machine zones.

As standard, the control cabinets are additionally overpressured and can be heated/airconditioned for extremely difficult operations. In optional plug-in operation, the plant is supplied by the grid or by alternative external power sources (gen sets) at the control cabinet — activation is easy and safe by simply switching the central master switch before starting the plant.

From this moment on the central SBM plant control system Crush Control automat-

ically starts, monitors and controls the individual machine components during crushing operations. Depending on machine type and equipment (scalpers, discharge conveyors, additional screens, etc.), up to 20 electric motors with a power input of 750 W (sprinkling) up to 250 kW (crusher) are used in the

SBM plants.

The working hydraulics system (crusher gap setting, hydraulic cylinders, etc.) and the proportional traction drive are energized by two electrically operated pumping systems and circuits that are activated separately.

This improves the energy footprint, for SBM Mineral Processing photo

All SBM mobile plants feature a sophisticated hybrid drive system, available in many market regions with optional plug-in option for all-electric grid operation.

example by eliminating the unnecessary stand-by status of the track motors, and assures full functionality of the systems in all-electric operation.

In contrast to diesel-electric plants equipped with significantly more on-board hydraulics, SBM minimizes the oil quantities required on board to for example only 20 gal. compared to about 50 gal. respectively more than 160 gal. required by fully dieselhydraulic models in the 40-ton class.

Instead of using complex hydraulic pipings meaning high thermal losses resp. costly oil cooling, all other drive systems and appliances in SBM plants are connected via break-proof cables, which practically eliminates environmentally critical leaks and corresponding breakdowns, according to the manufacturer.

Without the detour via hydraulic control blocks, electric activation ensures continuous quick response of the various plant components and facilitates easy and simple adaptation of feeding rates, screening capacities, or frequency-converter-controlled “extras” such as the automatic dedusting of chutes. see SBM page 46

Sound Heavy Machinery Adds New Product Line to Portfolio Sound Heavy Machinery (SHM) has been tapped by Rubble Crusher to represent its new line of crushers in North and South Carolina and is one of the brand’s first North American dealers.

Rubble Crusher offers compact mobile crushing equipment across various industries allowing for on-site recycling of C&D “waste” materials.

Sound Heavy Machinery owner Mark Bobo explained the value of the partnership for both companies.

“We are extremely excited to represent Rubble Crusher because of the quality of its equipment and compatibility with our current product portfolio,” said Bobo. “Our mission is to serve our customer base with a total package of new and used equipment, rentals and service, so Rubble Crusher fills a unique market gap for us and will be an ideal complement to our other McLanahan brand Anaconda — makers of a full line of crushers, screeners and conveyors.”

SHM was founded in 2010 by Bobo and has shown steady growth since then. The Wilmington, N.C., firm offers other name-brand equipment such as Anaconda, AUSA, ASV, XL Specialized Trailers, Loftness and Steel Systems Installation.

Besides renting equipment and selling new and used parts, SHM has a vibrant service department that services all makes and models of

equipment for both the field and its service shop.

Rubble Crusher is now a part of McLanahan's brand of the existing line of crushers including horizontal and inclined screens.

Rubble Crusher produces compact crushers that can be mounted on wheels, tracks or a skid and pulled behind a truck. Focusing on supporting the “zero waste” approach to the construction and demolition recycling industry, Rubble Crusher equipment is ideal for small- to mediumsized crushing and recycling. From day one the philosophy of Rubble Crusher has been customer-driven and has continually evolved, aiming to meet and exceed the requirements and expectations of its customers, the company said.

“Sound Heavy Machinery is a well-known dealer in the Carolinas and mid-Atlantic who has made great strides in growing its customer base and services despite less-than-ideal market conditions the past few years,” said David MacLynn, Rubble Crusher’s International Business Development, Sales & Marketing leader.

“Besides a good relationship with McLanahan, Mark and his staff took the time to understand the market and its customers so they are now poised to be a leader in their markets. We feel like our products will speed up the aggressive growth plans both organizations are implementing.”

SBM Pursues Homogenous Concept for Crushing, Screening Plants SBM from page 42

Efficient, Eco-Friendly The degree of efficiency of diesel-electric drive systems can be considerably increased if energy-intensive hydraulic drive components are eliminated. At about 80 percent, the efficiency exceeds that of diesel-electric systems without or with optimized load-dependent control (ca. 40 percent / ca.

50 percent); and with grid connection the efficiency factor comes to more than even 90 percent. And this of course directly influences fuel consumption: The diesel engines of the SBM plants operating at a speed of 1,500 to 1,800 rpm adjustable in steps consume more than 40 percent less than all-hydraulic systems.

Compared to models with directly driven crushers, consumption is still reduced by 20 percent, the manufacturer said.

Given the sharp increase in fuel prices and in spite of varying electricity costs, it can be assumed that the 60 percent benefit in energy costs due to all-electric grid operation still rating as a rule of thumb has long ago further shifted in favor of hybrid technology. By now SBM anticipates that due to saving operational costs, diesel-electric hybrid plants with a high all-electric workload will — due to lower maintenance costs resulting from less wear and a longer service life — fully pay off even over a few years only.

With full flexibility in diesel-autarkic operation where SBM hybrids provide further environmental benefits on top of the reduced hydraulic volume and the consumption-based low emissions of their EU-stage-V-power plants: Thus, the elaborately enclosed diesel-generator units win over due to

low noise emissions without load-dependent fluctuations. If switched over to all-electric operation, the noise generated by the same plant will decrease by another 6 dB significantly reducing noise emissions depending on geographical surroundings, the manufacturer said.

Even in all-electric “zero-emission” operation, possible effects on the immediate working environment are para-

This grants hybrid electrified plants a key competitive edge — not to mention the great image bonus of a company reducing its CO² footprint.

New FAE BL1/SSL Forestry Mulcher Metso Wins Big Order for Skid Steers Range From 45 to 65 Hp to Support Mining Customer’s Project Metso has been awarded orders for a gyratory crusher and apron feeders including related services and spare parts to support a mining customer project in the Americas.

The value of the orders is approximately EUR 20 million, of which 80 percent were booked in Minerals segment’s first-quarter orders received and the balance in Minerals segment’s second quarter.

Metso’s scope of delivery includes an impressive apron feeder package featuring Metso’s AF18 apron feeder, one of the largest feeders that Metso has ever produced. The apron feeder supplies material downstream to a Metso

The BL1/SSL/VT can be used for vegetation maintenance along roadsides, railroad tracks, the banks of canals, rivers, lakes, managing and protecting wildlife habitats, maintaining vineyards and orchards, commercial and residential green areas and sports grounds.

FAE introduced a new forestry mulcher for small skid steers: the BL1/SSL/VT for vehicles from 45 to 65 hp, which can shred vegetation, shrubs, and trees up to 4 in. in diameter.

It can be used for vegetation maintenance along roadsides, railroad tracks, the banks of canals, rivers, lakes, managing and protecting wildlife habitats, maintaining vineyards and orchards, commercial and residential green areas and sports grounds.

The head is designed for high productivity, durability and easy maintenance.

The BL1/SSL/VT’s Variable Torque (VT) piston engine boosts mulcher performance compared to a fixed-cylinder engine, increasing torque when an extra boost of power is needed and minimizing rotor stalling, according to the manufacturer.

In the field, the mulcher operates with the maximum torque needed, for enhanced performance while optimizing fuel consumption.

The Bite Limiter technology on this head is ideal for high productivity in managing vegetation, with reliably efficient shredding. The rotor with Bite Limiter technology comes

The new BL1/SSL/VT can be equipped with MINI BL blades or MINI C/3 teeth and is available in a width of 49 in.

with special wear-resistant steel profiles that limit the reach (bite) of the teeth. This cuts down on power demand and promotes a consistent working speed, for enhanced performance when mulching any kind of wood.

The Bite Limiter technology also minimizes rotor stalling and helps optimize fuel consumption, the manufacturer said.

The Spike Pro counter blades ensure low power absorption and a finer final product. Spike Pros are interchangeable offset counter blades that enable finer shredding and a smoother flow of wet material. The special design also makes them efficient with very rigid and more flexible vegetation.

The flagship features of the BL1/SSL are completed with a high-visibility profile, helping the operator to optimize work, and interchangeable and adjustable skids for greater precision.

The new BL1/SSL/VT can be equipped with MINI BL blades or MINI C/3 teeth and is available in a width of 49 in.

Superior MKIII primary gyratory crusher.

The gyratory crusher accepts the largest top size feed in the market, allowing it to provide higher capacities, which makes this crusher the most costefficient primary gyratory crusher in the industry, according to the manufacturer.

“We are excited to be able to support our customers to ensure their needs are met. It is especially rewarding when we are able to demonstrate our capabilities for flowsheet synergies such as crushers and apron feeders as this equipment works hand in hand for minerals processing,” said Guillaume Lambert, SVP, Crushing at Metso.

Metso has the capability to design and deliver even the largest apron feeder systems with high project quality.

Combined with its advanced line of mining duty crushers, Metso offers complete solutions providing flexible and reliable material processing to meet high demands and ensuring the success of its customers, the company said.

Komatsu’s GHG Alliance Learns About Progress Toward Goals

Komatsu GHG Alliance members had the opportunity to observe Komatsu’s EVX truck in action at the company’s Arizona Proving Grounds in Tucson, Ariz.

Komatsu gathered members of the company’s Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Alliance at the Komatsu Arizona Proving Grounds (AZPG) to share progress and highlight knowledge gained since the EVX (battery-powered haul truck) was showcased at MINExpo 2021.

At the event, alliance members had the opportunity to directly observe advancements made over the past year related to the performance and sizing of batteries, engage in a discussion on recent progress within the regulatory environment and learn how Komatsu plans to leverage the company’s trolley system to advance understanding of battery truck performance in a dynamic charging environment.

Specifically, alliance members saw the upgraded EVX (battery) truck running a circuit on battery, static charging of the battery with the truck hooked up to the trolley line via pantograph, and a run up the trolley line highlighting the battery being charged and increased speed in the dynamic environment.

The GHG Alliance was created to bring together mining industry leaders to work toward a shared goal of delivering zero-emissions equipment solutions. Alliance members have since been working to advance Komatsu’s power agnostic truck concept for a haulage vehicle that can run on a variety of power sources including diesel engine, battery and even hydrogen fuel cells with both static and dynamic charging capabilities.

Since the alliance was formed, membership has steadily grown and now includes the following companies: • Antofagasta Minerals • BHP • Boliden • Codelco • Freeport-McMoRan • Grupo Mexico • Kinross

• Rio Tinto • Teck “Our alliance members were able to experience the substantive continuation of a journey that was started at MINExpo 2021 as we have advanced our understanding and development of this critical technology,” said Pat Singleton, product director of Electric Drive Trucks.

“The past year has been filled with collaborative efforts between alliance members, technology partners and other industry stakeholders dedicated to achieving our common goals of delivering zero-emissions solutions to the mining industry.”

Komatsu is committed to minimizing environmental impact through its business, targeting a 50 percent reduction in CO2 emissions from use of its products and production of its equipment by 2030 (compared to 2010 levels) and a challenge target of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050.

USACE’s Arkansas River Deepening to Relieve Congestion On Roads, Rails USACE from page 8

Howe said transportation down the navigation system also is less costly than other methods.

“Folks that are [transporting] their agriculture can move more of it cheaper,” he explained to the Democrat-Gazette, “and it puts more money in their pockets.” Those savings, Howe noted, may be passed down to the consumer.

Moving more cargo using the navigation system, as opposed to trucks and trains, would also improve air quality, according to a USACE news release, and barges produce “far less” emissions on a ton-per-mile basis than trucks and trains.

Currently, about 10 million tons of cargo are moved along the waterway every year, according to the Corps. It estimates that tonnage to be “the equivalent of 437,287 semi-trucks, or 109,322 railcars.”

Bipartisan Infrastructure Law Sparks Newest Efforts Securing adequate funding has been a significant obstruction to the project since Congress first approved the 12-ft. navigation channel in 2003. By 2005, the USACE was poised to go ahead with the project, according to earlier Democrat-Gazette reporting.

At the time, environmental groups worried that material dredged to deepen the shipping lane would fill in the river’s

meandering curves and backwaters, spoiling Arkansas’ treasured bass-casting spots. Budget observers believed that the financially strapped federal agency could better spend its money shoring up levees to protect people from flooding, rather than on a commercial navigation project.

But in 2012, a coalition of Fort Smith and Northwest Arkansas area business, civic, and elected leaders banded together to make another push for the project. A University of Arkansas at Little Rock economist also estimated the effort would cost more than $68 million.

Howe said the Corps had been able to make some modifications to the system over the years, though he described the progress as “limping along, mostly due to intermittent appropriations from Congress.”

Then, last November, the White House announced the USACE had awarded over $200 million “to maintain and improve” the McClellan-Kerr system through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. That funding sparked the current push to carry out the river deepening project, Howe told the Democrat-Gazette.

In February, the Corps’ Little Rock District received an added $4.1 million in the Fiscal Year 23 Work Plan, part of which could go toward deepening the channel. Of that, $3.3 million in operation and maintenance funds were to improve navigation along the river. 

New $20M FIU Bridge Will Improve Safety of Students, Honor Victims of Collapse FIU from page 16

can be made much safer with an improved design at a far lesser cost.

But FIU’s Jessell said he has no doubt the bridge is needed because students have been among those struck and injured or killed while crossing the intersection.

FIU sophomore Freddy Gonzales, interviewed on a recent afternoon while he waited to cross Southwest Eighth, said he would prefer to use a bridge if one were available to walk between campus and his University City apartment. It takes too long for the crossing light to change, and it does not feel safe, he said.

Recently, he noticed pieces of a broken car headlight scattered at the corner.

“That’s something you don’t want to see in a corner you’re standing in,” Gonzales said. “I usually stand behind the pole now to stay safe.”

FDOT and its consultants plan to remove the existing marked crosswalks on Southwest Eighth once the

bridge is finished, though it is unclear whether cyclists and pedestrians will be blocked or prohibited from crossing at street level.

In the five years since the collapse, meanwhile, the cost of construction and materials such as steel and concrete has risen sharply. Hard construction costs for the new bridge amount to $18.2 million, according to FDOT and BCC Engineering. That figure is a substantial increase over the initial $16 million estimate and the approximately $14 million construction budget for the first bridge.

But the Sweetwater official responsible for the execution of the University City plan since the mid2000s said the bridge is essential to ensuring the safety of the thousands of new residents who will be crossing between the city’s rapidly redeveloping downtown and FIU. “It’s imperative,” explained Robert Herrada, Sweetwater’s assistant city

manager and chief of staff to its mayor.

“Safety is paramount. That is ideally achieved by a bridge.”

New Bridge to Honor Victims Last March, FIU dedicated a memorial on campus to honor the victims: a 7-ft.-tall bronze sculpture of Alexa Duran, the 18-year-old student killed, and five lamp posts surrounding it to represent the five other people who died. They were Alberto Arias, age 53; Brandon Brownfield, 39; Rolando Fraga, 60; Oswaldo Gonzalez, 57; and construction worker Navaro Brown, 37.

FDOT installed a bronze plaque at the corner of Southwest Eighth and 109th Avenue in front of FIU’s Nicklaus Children’s Ambulatory Surgery Center and Red Parking Garage. The plaque will be moved to the new bridge once it is finished. On it are the names of those killed with individual messages about each person.

Atop the plaque, it reads: “You will always be remembered.” 

Focus On Specific ‘Pain Points’ When Software Shopping SOFTWARE from page 1

With estimating software, a contractor can provide the client with more accurate figures a lot sooner.

A construction takeoff is an extensive list of material amounts and costs for a project.

All materials including raw and manufactured items are accounted for before a construction takeoff is considered a success.

A takeoff software program allows the contractor to provide the client with a morecomplete construction plan. Of course, takeoff and estimating software aren’t the only two software options for construction businesses, said Collin Couey of softwareadvice.com.

Other construction software options will integrate with project scheduling, project management or even accounting software.

Which type of software is the most practical investment for your construction business? Do you need both?

“It all comes back to knowing what issues you need your software to solve in order to find the best software solution for your business,” Couey said.

Getting Estimate Right Though the client understands an estimate is not the final number, if it’s “way off the mark,” you could lose your credibility as a contractor.

Couey said estimating inaccuracies can be the result of incorrect pricing data, faulty schedules or manual errors.

Manual estimating requires extensive research. Project details and client needs have to be figured into pricing lists before numbers can be set. The estimating phase is a time-eater when you’re flying without technology and can cost your company if the client rejects your bid.

“If you’re facing these issues and are constantly worried that your quotes aren’t accurate, it’s time to consider using construction estimating software.”

Estimating software allows the user to formulate the exact cost of project material quantities and labor, said Couey.

“What might have taken you hours to put together will instead take minutes,” he said.

Some estimating software can even scan material costs from a large database from your area of the country. The user simply provides the system with a zip code or geographical location, and the technology provides them with the best price options.

Couey added that this process not only saves the contractor time, it also ensures they’re able to provide an accurate estimate as quickly as possible. Using estimating software can increase the accuracy of your construction quotes and provide your business an edge over your competitors. Plus, the quick turnaround “will net you more work

and happier clients,” he said.

The user no longer has to worry about complex codes or formulas because the software will do all the calculations for them.

“Also, if your client wants to add or subtract something [in] the initial bid, you can make adjustments on the fly,” said Couey.

Ensuring Smooth Takeoff The size and scope of a project can determine how simple or complex the takeoff phase of a project will be, said Meghan Townley of Buildertrend.

“Using takeoff software is one of the best ways to start your construction estimate,” she said.

Townley believes the technology can improve accuracy, save time and money, increase efficiency and give the contractor a competitive edge.

“At a time when material costs are at a premium, the margin for error is small,” she said. “It’s essential to ensure the measurements for your construction projects are as comprehensive and accurate as possible.”

Using takeoff software is the contractor’s “key to success” when it comes to estimating and bidding precisely. Consider how many interruptions happen in the middle of figuring quantities of construction materials.

“How long did it take you to get back to where you were? Did you have to start over?” asked Townley. “With takeoff software, you’re able to measure directly from the blueprints using a scale tool.”

She said, in fact, the software’s digital, color-coded calculations can keep your estimates organized and accurate, so nothing gets missed. Using digital blueprint features mean less miscommunication and rework.

No more manually hunting for discrepancies or changes in blueprints.

“Instead of hunting for the differences between revised blueprints, the digital overlay feature highlights the changes for you,” said Townley. “With paper blueprints, it’s easy to miss the little details that may have shifted, but with digital drawings, you’ll catch mistakes before they happen.”

The benefits are reduced labor costs, fewer risks, a higher bid win ratio and happy clients, she said.

“This competitive advantage won’t just save you money but will hopefully bring in some new business.”

Digitizing blueprints means the contractor no longer has to worry about continuous reprinting of the project plan for various teams and crew members. The entire operation can have access to updates in real-time, “so everyone’s on the same page,” said Townley.

“In an industry as competitive as construction, the more you can do to stand out, the better,” she said.

Being able to create estimates quickly allows the contractor more time to review and even present bids ahead of schedule.

“Implementing takeoff software will give you an advantage over your competitors who are still using a manual estimating process.”

Determining What You Need Couey suggests that if you’re shopping for the best type of software for your construction business needs, focus on “specific pain points” you want alleviated.

“For instance, if you find yourself unable to provide quotes to potential customers in a timely fashion, you might be losing out on revenue.”

Additionally, you might find that the quotes you’re giving out aren’t accurate, he said.

“Generally, as a business owner, you will need to figure out what part of your business is lacking automation.”

Ask yourself what part do you spend the most time on. If it’s scheduling, invest and focus on software suites with more robust scheduling features. During your workday, note the parts of your job that eat up the most time. Is it managing the project schedule?

Calculating quotes? Measuring the takeoff?

“That’s how you’ll figure out what you need your software to solve,” said Couey.

Based on the quantity of projects you’re completing or the estimates you’re providing, you might not need the added efficiency takeoff software provides. But if you’re overwhelmed and unable to keep up with the demand, takeoff software will provide more

complete, detailed construction plans with less effort.

In selecting software, Couey advised contractors to try multiple free trials and product demos. He also suggests having a backup plan if your first choice doesn’t offer a free program trial.

“Free trials aren’t always available, so it’s important to have a game plan if your top choice doesn’t let you take a test drive before purchasing.”

Keep in mind, as well, that you can almost always get a hands-on demonstration with the software before making any decisions, he said.

And “utilize free trials with intention,” said Couey. “Use the free trial during your next job to see if it helps alleviate the pain points you need it to.”

Write down any questions you might have so that you can ask the vendor about them.

“With a free trial, you’ll be much more informed and equipped to go into a demonstration with a vendor to maximize the information you get.”

Also be sure to provide the vendor with specific use cases. Think through what makes your job inefficient and provide a specific, real-world example. That way the vendor can show you exactly how their software can help solve that issue, said Couey.

Complete multiple demos before you decide. The first can just be you and the vendor. But bring in other potential users of the software for subsequent demos.

“They might have different questions or concerns that you hadn’t considered before,” said Couey.

Consult peers in your software search.

Even if you start from ground zero, so many resources are available to help you out, he continued.

“The first place you can start is asking your colleagues what software they use.”

Word of mouth is “king” when it comes to finding solutions.

“Don’t tackle software selection alone,” said Couey. “Listen to the advice from your peers who have gone through the same struggles. Ask for help.”

He also suggested reading reviews, talking to vendors and trying out multiple options.

“As long as you utilize the resources available to you, you will almost certainly be in a better position once you’ve acquired software.”

In the end, you’ll be more efficient operationally and you’ll be able to provide more accurate quotes in a quicker time frame.

“You’ll spend less time worrying about takeoff or estimating, and your project management will be more smooth,” said Couey.  CEG

County Road 532 interchange construction was completed in early March. The contractor is finalizing I-4 widening with the addition of auxiliary lanes between C.R. 532 and S.R. 429.

PARKWAY from page 30

sidewalks along C.R. 532, making this a true multi-modal corridor.

Lane noted that while most of the improvements on I-4 over the past several years have been made within the I-4 Ultimate project limits, FDOT has been studying and planning for improvements to the east and west to continue modernizing central Florida’s transportation backbone.

“To meet growing demands along other areas of the I-4 corridor, future improvements are being evaluated and designed through the I-4 Beyond the Ultimate program.

Over the past several years, FDOT has been working through a process called value engineering.

“This process aims to reduce overall construction costs while still providing the same safety benefits and congestion relief as originally planned. The value engineering process makes it easier to find funding for needed improvements.”

As for the biggest challenges on the I-4 Beyond the Ultimate project, said Lane, “Florida is the fastest growing state in America and the counties that I-4 serves in central Florida are some of the fastest growing in the state, with some areas seeing 20 percent growth rates.

“Meeting the growing demands along the I-4 corridor continues to be one of FDOT’s biggest challenges. Also, to provide additional capacity along the I-4 corridor, additional right of way is needed. This is a highly developed urban area and purchasing is very expensive.”

Despite the concerns, Lane said it’s truly rewarding to wit-

ness I-4 Beyond the Ultimate construction.

“As central Florida evolves, FDOT is investing in roadway and multimodal improvements, so the community can continue to enjoy safe and reliable choices in how they travel. With I-4 Ultimate open to traffic, it is time to address congestion west and east of it, bringing needed improvements on key interchanges. The department is proud of the work done so far to enhance safety and mobility along the I-4 corridor but is also eager to begin more projects that provide these travel benefits.”  CEG
