While the majority of architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) companies prioritize offering some sort of training program to their teams, countless reports have proven the need for even more comprehensive, customized training solutions. According to recent findings, 91% of employees would prefer a more customized approach to training, with companies that invest in high-quality, company and project-specific learning solutions reporting 24% higher profit margins than their counterparts. With statistics like these in mind, the need for a completely customizable, in-depth AEC skills training solution is more evident than ever. This is where Canadian-based, online training provider Global eTraining (GeT) comes in. Architecture, engineering and construction firms worldwide use GeT to create and share custom workflows, build software skills and boost overall efficiency and profitability. A first mover in the online technical training space, Global eTraining has been innovating computer-based learning solutions for over three decades. With the AEC industry’s largest online training library, tracking and reporting to maximize ROI and a patented project-specific course builder (that’s a current finalist and previous winner of the SIIA CODiE awards) GeT is the answer for BIM teams looking to take the next step on their road to success. To help get started, Global eTraining offers teams the ability to try out their award-winning platform for free, with no-holds-barred access to their AEC training library, custom course builder and recently released AI-powered course creation. Their flagship solution, the GeT Everything training library contains hundreds of AEC-relevant courses that are created, vetted and continuously updated by subject matter experts and industry thought leaders. The courses adhere to the VARK learning methodology, which incorporates visual, auditory, read/write and kinesthetic learning elements, resulting in courses accessible to diverse learning styles, ultimately increasing engagement and skills retention. Learning management system (LMS) agnosticism ensures seamless access to training programs across familiar platforms for organizations. “Our solution makes it very easy for construction companies to access and create project-specific training that includes workflows, processes and best practices unique to their organization,” says Susan Brattberg, Co-Founder .
After a year-and-half long disruption, the construction industry is recovering, despite project complexities and supply chain constraints. The post-pandemic shift in the landscape requires construction companies to be agile and optimize their resources and operations to stay relevant. Meeting these prerequisites demands seamless collaboration between all stakeholders and teams while providing greater visibility of information in real-time. Enter Hexagon IT Solutions. Founded in 2007, Hexagon IT Solutions is an expert in building customized software solutions, websites, operating systems, and mobile applications for a broad range of industries. Adhering to their mission of improving clients’ operational success, the company develops robust, user-friendly ERP and CRM platforms that serve unique needs and drive ROI for clients. Hexagon IT Solutions’ specialized CRM platform for the construction industry is an all-inclusive solution that streamlines the critical operations of both residential and commercial customers—from client acquisition to project completion. It begins with capturing leads from various channels— be it a campaign that runs on a website, Facebook, Instagram, or Google—and integrating them into the lead module. Brokers and home agents can also add leads directly to the system. Built with powerful analytical capabilities, the platform provides clients with insights into each campaign’s performance, allowing them to redirect their resources to focus on the best-performing one. This helps clients accelerate and optimize their lead generation processes. The high-performing leads are then assigned to the marketing department to interact with potential prospects for lead-to-customer conversion. Conversions follow the agreement process, where documents are sent to clients electronically for eSignature through DocuSign Agreement Cloud. Once the agreement is signed, architects can easily upload the building design to their enterprise software, which can be accessed by other teams from any remote location.
Whether it is building a shopping mall or a single-family residence, every construction project needs to be well thought out. In an ideal world, facility owners and every other stakeholder of a construction project always have a clear picture of their end goal. The designer and architects plan a perfect structure well within facility owners’ estimated budget, and the overall project remains free from any legal and financial complications from start to finish. However, the reality is often far from being perfect. From sudden supply chain disruption to material shortage, there are many unexpected turns that a construction project has to go through before it gets completed. Interestingly, this is where experienced construction project management firms can assist facility owners in efficiently overseeing their projects. But, finding a qualified construction management firm is also not that stress-free, and has always been a key challenge for facility owners. Enter KWAME Building Group—a premier construction management firm in the U.S. KWAME helps facility owners navigate the best way forward for their construction projects. “We are a pure construction management company that protects its clients’ interests in the areas of time, money, and risk,” underscores Anthony Arnold, project manager at KWAME. So how does KWAME helps its clients keep their construction project on track from start to finish? The answer lies with the company’s team of certified value specialists, engineers, technical and contract staff that ensure the ultimate performance, reliability, aesthetics, and safety standards of any construction project. The company partners with its clients right from the pre-design phase of construction projects to clearly define the overall scope of a project to prevent any sudden change or uncontrolled growth in the scope. KWAME also establishes reporting systems to measure project progress and evaluate subcontractor productivity. The company strictly monitors the data collected through these reporting systems and conducts regular on-site progress meetings with the project stakeholders and subcontractors on behalf of its clients Together, these attributes enable KWAME to make sure its clients receive a high-quality project on-time and stay well within their established budget. “We are always committed to maintaining our clients’ trust and confidence, no matter what challenges the project may present,” adds Arnold. To this end, KWAME stays flexible and nimble enough to adjust to any unforeseen situations.

Construction Learning: The Rise Of Etraining Platforms
In an era where technological advancements are reshaping industries at a rapid pace, the construction sector is no exception. With the evolution of eTraining platforms, the way construction professionals learn and upskill is undergoing a remarkable transformation. These platforms are not only revolutionizing traditional training methods but also addressing the industry’s growing demand for skilled labor in a dynamic and efficient manner.
One of the most notable trends in the construction eTraining platform landscape is the integration of immersive technologies such as virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR). These technologies offer learners the opportunity to engage in realistic, hands-on simulations of construction sites and equipment operation without the associated risks. By providing a safe yet immersive learning environment, VR and AR enable trainees to develop practical skills and experience real-world scenarios in a controlled setting.
Another key trend is the emphasis on personalized and adaptive learning experiences. Unlike traditional classroom settings, eTraining platforms utilize data analytics and machine learning algorithms to tailor learning pathways according to each individual’s knowledge level, learning style, and pace. Through continuous assessment and feedback mechanisms, trainees receive targeted instruction and resources that cater to their specific needs, resulting in a more efficient and effective learning process.
Collaboration and knowledge sharing are also becoming central features of construction eTraining platforms. Through online forums, discussion boards, and virtual communities, construction professionals can connect with peers, mentors, and industry experts from around the world. This collaborative environment facilitates the exchange of best practices, insights, and experiences, enriching the learning journey and fostering a sense of community within the industry.
In this edition, we have featured Global eTraining. The company empowers AEC teams with the skills they need to excel. A first mover in the online technical training space, it has been innovating computer-based learning solutions for over three decades.
