    Turning Expert Services into Products

    July 20, 2026 —
    A Finnish engineering, architecture, and project consulting company, AINS Group, recently opened an online store to purchase fixed-price services. The store presents specialist work in a product-like format, with fixed service names, defined scopes, and visible prices, such as a building history report, a zoning plan cost analysis, and a technical preliminary survey for a property transaction.

    Fatalities Edge Down: New Data Reveals a Promising Decline

    April 27, 2026 —
    Construction fatalities in the United States declined slightly in 2024, according to new data released from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
