FEBRUARY 2026CONSTRUCTIONTECHREVIEW.COM6with greater precision than ever before. The companies pulling ahead are those pairing disciplined leadership with technologies that bring structure to data, transparency to operations, and tighter control across procurement, field execution, and financial workflows.Our cover story features BuyMetrics, recognised as Cloud-Based Lumber Purchasing Platform of the Year 2026, for transforming lumber procurement in one of construction's most volatile supply categories. Built on real-time market data and configurable workflows, BuyMetrics improves price discovery, accelerates decision making, and restores buyer control in fast-moving markets.Operational accountability and asset visibility are addressed through ShareMyToolbox, recognised as Top Construction Tool Tracking Software 2026. Its mobile-first platform simplifies tool tracking across job sites and offices, reducing loss, improving utilisation, and strengthening preventive maintenance without disrupting established workflows. Complementing this focus, Sky Systemz, recognised as Top Construction and Heavy Material Business Software 2026, is modernising financial operations for ready-mix, quarry, and heavy materials operators. Through its SkyOS platform, the company unifies payments, reconciliation, and daily workflows, helping businesses recover profit lost to fragmented systems and rising transaction costs.Executive perspectives further ground this issue in real-world execution, shifting the focus from platforms to the people responsible for applying them at scale. Stephen King, Director of Information Technology at Irby Construction Company, explains how handheld applications have become essential field tools in power grid construction, improving safety, accuracy, and responsiveness through close collaboration with crews. Extending this execution-first mindset upstream, Dave Mueller, Director of VDC at Stellar, highlights how Virtual Design and Construction bridges design and delivery, reducing rework and improving sustainability through shared data and coordination.Together, these stories point to a clear direction for construction technology. We invite readers to explore this issue and engage with the leaders defining the next phase of construction performance.SHAPING CONSTRUCTION EXECUTION THROUGH TECHNOLOGYManaging EditorMichael RosarioCopyright © 2026 ValleyMedia, Inc.
