SBCA is pleased to share its third successful year of the SBCA Innovation Grant. With over twenty applicants sharing their creative ideas and innovations, the SBCA Innovation Grant Selection Panel chose five recipients that will exhibit at SBCA’s BCMC in Omaha, NE, September 29-October 3, 2025. These grant recipients will be showcasing their innovations live on the show floor for a chance to be selected, by BCMC attendees voting onsite, as the 2025 People’s Choice Innovator.
We are excited to announce the following recipients:
Alpine, an ITW Company: Alpine’s Plan Comparison Tool is a new AI-powered tool that analyzes two PDF versions of architectural plans, highlighting text and image differences— saving designers and estimators time while enhancing accuracy. The tool provides easier plan revision and fosters better collaboration among multi-disciplinary teams.
AnnotiQ: AnnotiQ’s Smart Glasses are an innovative technology designed to streamline the work of component estimators and designers by accelerating the bidding and production phases of construction projects. They automatically convert 2D floor plans into detailed, buildable 3D models with accurate framing—while using AI to detect discrepancies in drawings, site photos, and specification sheets in real time.
Dusty Robotics: Dusty Robotics’ FieldPrint Platform is a solution to ensure design integrity in the field through automated layout and a streamlined BIM-to-field process. Dusty delivers a combination of hardware, software, and services that fit seamlessly into existing construction work processes by printing digital models directly on the jobsite floor with 1/16" accuracy.
FairBuild AI LLC: FairBuild AI helps Component Manufacturers assess and de-risk contracts using advanced AI and natural language processing. It identifies obligations, risks, and exposures in minutes—giving your team clarity and control before you sign. Knowledge isn’t just power—it’s protection.
Randek: Randek’s ZeroLabor Robotic Sub-assembly is a cutting-edge system that automates the early-stage production of wall elements by using robotics to build subcomponents such as rough openings and stud assemblies — traditionally time-consuming and labor-intensive tasks. These components are then fed directly into the main wall production line, ensuring seamless flow, no downtime, and LEAN productivity at its best.
Congratulations to the 2025 SBCA Innovation Grant Recipients; and thank you to all who applied and shared their ideas and innovations!
