Innovation: Our Lever For Transformation

Innovation means rethinking the way we do things and

deploying leading-edge technologies at our worksites and

across our organization. As Canada’s pioneers in Building

Information Modelling, or BIM, since 2012, we continue

to push the boundaries of what’s possible. This culture of

continuous improvement is also what drives our laboratory

in testing new solutions, not only for us but to move the

entire industry forward.

In 2024, innovation served a dual purpose: to build better

and transform the industry. Progress was observed across

multiple sectors of our organization.

Building better

Our major projects can now take advantage of a digital eco-

system that interconnects enterprise resource planning

systems with a variety of specialized applications. This step

forward enables more informed decision-making in real time,

and has already been deployed on four major joint-venture

projects in 2024.

We’re expanding the use of BIM and Virtual Design and

Construction, or VDC, on projects of all scopes to support

our three business divisions. In 2024, we deployed VDC on

nearly 70% of our projects. This technology allows us to

consolidate all the information into a single virtual model,

so that stakeholders are involved in every step of a project’s

life cycle, from planning to operations.

Artif icial intelligence (AI) is also transforming the way we

manage our projects and our company. For example, by combi-

ning point clouds, AI, BIM models and geographic information

systems, we’ll be able to create ultra-accurate and constantly

updated digital twins. Our new AI-powered estimation app

will help us predict costs more accurately. AI will also help

improve relationships with our partners by providing detailed

data analyses specif ic to our projects. Lastly, it will help in

decision-making by offering data-based information, which

will reduce errors and optimize the way we manage projects,

scheduling and budgets.

Transforming the industry

True to our commitment to radically transform the industry,

we’ve presented our innovations at nearly a dozen specialized

global forums. By sharing our expertise, we’re helping to create

a positive ripple effect and drive the construction industry

towards more innovative and sustainable practices.
