What contractors need to know about IIJA's construction tech carve-outs
Abstract
The Advanced Digital Construction Management Systems initiative and the Technology and Innovation Deployment Program will provide a total of $550 million to promote the use of construction tech on government funded jobs. While the funding path hasnโt been set yet, contractors can probably expect to see money funneled to states first, and then to contractors on infrastructure jobs. The two programs will cater to different contractors and builders. The $1.2 trillion Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act wants to push construction into the digital age. The programs are both managed by the Federal Highway Administration, but experts say they aim to target unique aspects of construction.
