According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), sustainability is based on a simple principle: “Everything that we need for our survival and well-being depends, either directly or indirectly, on our natural environment.” With that tenant in mind, Balfour Beatty recognized sustainability as a core company value and driver of our people-first culture. Balfour Beatty project teams across the nation and around the world have made great strides toward sustainability, a key component of which is waste diversion.

Balfour Beatty teams from the Pacific Northwest to the East Coast are leveraging leading-edge technologies like Touchplan – in concert with their foundational skillsets in lean construction – to deliver projects as efficiently and reliably as possible. In a market that is experiencing unprecedented supply chain disruptions and labor shortages, Balfour Beatty is boosting our effectiveness by embracing and investing in tech-enabled jobsite planning.

In the construction industry, the use of technology is never one-size-fits-all. And while many contractors showcase the benefits of innovative tools and practices on large-scale projects due to their scale or inherent complexity, Balfour Beatty’s Texas team is proving how impactful an investment in leading-edge technologies like OpenSpace can be on smaller projects completed within vastly tighter timelines.

Balfour Beatty continuously invests in technology to make projects safer, faster and more cost-efficient while delivering the highest quality. However, what if the largest advancement in the built environment in the last one hundred years is based on one of the oldest construction materials ̶ wood? Mass timber construction is on a trajectory for significant growth over the next ten years, and Balfour Beatty experts are collaborating with owners, architects, engineers and suppliers to maximize the advantages and opportunities of this expanding delivery type.
