AI’s greatest impact on construction will come from more than new tools. It will depend on the quality of the data behind them and the culture required to put insights into action.

At Ai4 2026 in Las Vegas, Clayco Chief Information Officer Jeff Miller joined Amit Sinha of TRC Companies, Patrick Murphy of Coastal Construction, and Shane Snider of Data Center Knowledge to discuss AI across the construction lifecycle.

The conversation highlighted practical applications already creating value: optimizing design decisions, forecasting material shortages, and identifying potential incident risks earlier to help build safer jobsites. Just as important, the panel addressed the industry-wide work still ahead: establishing consistent data standards and earning adoption in a sector where careful risk management is essential.

For Clayco, the path forward is clear: AI should strengthen the expertise of project teams, improve decision-making, and help us solve our clients’ toughest problems with greater certainty from blueprint to build.

Students are moving into our completed Penn State East Halls development this week!

Clayco's work at Penn State University added two new residence halls and renovated 14 more across the East Halls Development, bringing 4,570 beds to the University Park campus over nearly a decade.

Along the way, six Penn State graduates joined Clayco full-time, and our team is now underway on the multi-phase Po***ck Halls renovation. By the time Po***ck is complete, Clayco will have been part of the Penn State campus community for 15 years.

Thank you to all the teams and all our partners who have helped us transform the students' experience of campus life. https://ow.ly/jwes50ZEYK1

Our Greenville Clayco team rolled up their sleeves this morning on the packaging line at Meals on Wheels of Greenville, working together to prepare 1,400 meals for homebound neighbors across the county.

From 8 to 10 a.m., our volunteers joined the assembly line, packing meals that would soon head out across more than 130 volunteer delivery routes. It was a great opportunity to experience firsthand the teamwork and coordination that goes into serving the community every week.

Thank you to Meals on Wheels of Greenville for welcoming our team and giving us the opportunity to be part of the incredible work happening in our community. And a big thank you to our Clayco volunteers for showing up and getting to work!

AI is changing what’s possible, and the infrastructure behind it is being built by people. That’s the message Clayco is sharing in The Wall Street Journal today: Built by humans who use AI.

As demand for AI accelerates, so does our responsibility to deliver the infrastructure that supports it thoughtfully. That means using technology to build smarter, creating better outcomes for our clients, engaging communities, and earning trust through how we work.

AI is a powerful tool, but people remain at the center of what we do. Our people bring expertise, collaboration, and ingenuity that turn new possibilities into real-world impact.

Technology may help us move faster. People move us forward.

Students and families at Friendly Academy, a tuition-free K-8 charter school serving North St. Louis, came together for the school’s Uniform & Ice Cream Social to celebrate a new school year! Each student received two new Friendly Academy uniform shirts, courtesy of Clayco's BRG team, to help them return to the classroom feeling confident and ready to learn.

Now entering its second year, Friendly Academy is welcoming back an impressive 99% of its students, a reflection of the supportive environment the school has created for students and families, which is especially meaningful as the school community continues to recover and rebuild following the 2025 St. Louis tornado. Clayco’s BRG was grateful to support Friendly Academy and be an example of our Beyond These Walls commitment to the areas we live and work. Here’s to a great school year for every Friendly Academy student!

This week, Clayco is participating in OSHA’s Safe + Sound Week to reinforce our shared commitment to creating safer jobsites and workplaces for everyone.

Across our projects, that means staying focused on the risks we encounter every day, from giving new workers the training, mentorship, and support they need to start strong, to preventing utility strikes, protecting our hands, reducing sprains and strains, and maintaining safe practices around electrical hazards.

Every conversation, every plan, and every decision is an opportunity to look out for one another. Thank you to our teams and trade partners for making safety a priority this week and every week.
