Selecting the right vendors for a construction project is always a challenging task. But managers in the public and nonprofit spheres have resources that make the process easier, more predictable, and more efficient. GSA and Sourcewell can save time and reduce risk for all parties in public sector construction projects.
The United States needs more construction workers than it’s producing … Younger people will have to fill that gap—those just now choosing their careers, and those who will soon reach working age. In other words, Generation Z, people born between 1997 and 2012, will provide the construction workforce of tomorrow.
Closing out a construction project involves a vast array of paperwork and interaction between the various players: project owners, subcontractors, designers, inspectors, utility companies, and regulatory agencies.

It’s no surprise that companies of all types are rushing to build data centers in the Sooner State. Here are a few examples of firms that have brought their data centers to Oklahoma, including some that are soon to be built.
A general construction contractor is only as good as the subcontractors it works with. The roofers, plumbers, and electricians a contractor brings in can make or break a construction project. They can also make or break the general contractor’s reputation—and bottom line. It’s incumbent, therefore, on any general contractor to thoroughly vet its subcontractors and only work with those that can enhance the project without causing problems.
The Fleming Construction Group is an experienced data center construction partner with more than 5 million square feet of constructed space of buildings ranging from 10 MW up to 130 MW, and more than 1.2 million square feet under construction.
In considering the challenges facing construction workers, mental health isn’t usually the first thing that comes to mind. There is, after all, a persistent image of the construction worker as a robust figure, sturdy and stoical. They may be prone to physical injuries, but not mental health issues. Unfortunately, the facts indicate otherwise.
Advances in digital technology are transforming industries across the world, and construction is no exception. One of the most revolutionary innovations has been the development of digital twin technology, which is already helping builders improve job efficiency, foster collaboration, and enhance worker safety.
The goal of reducing emissions of greenhouse gasses (GHG) to net zero has become a priority for industries of all types, including construction. That means achieving a balance between the amount of GHG added to the atmosphere and the amount removed from it. Innovations in technology have put this goal within reach—even for large structures such as pre-engineered metal buildings (PEMB).
The Fleming Construction Group (FCG) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement to acquire the Program Accounts and Construction Services divisions of BlueScope Construction from BlueScope Buildings North America, effective February 5th, 2024.
