Architecting tomorrow's built environment
Chicago, IL – October 29-30, as industry leaders gather at the Chicago Build Expo, Metam will participate and invites built environment professionals to explore how we help businesses in the built environment achieve sustainable growth, operational excellence, and lasting success.
Our presence at the Expo is an opportunity to show how we help you not just adapt to change, but lead it. We work alongside AEC firms to accelerate growth, modernize operations, and create a lasting impact. Our solutions are built to meet the evolving demands of your industry, from strategic vision to technology enablement and ESG advisory.
The built environment: Addressing today’s key challenges
The business of creating tomorrow’s built environment is complex. Firms face unique hurdles that can limit scalability, efficiency, and competitiveness. Metam’s experience in the AEC ecosystem allows us to provide practical, results-oriented solutions to these challenges:
Equipment management
AEC firms manage countless assets—from warehouse inventory to field equipment—often across multiple projects, subcontractors, and sites. Without centralized tracking, this can create bottlenecks in billing, compliance, and operational efficiency.
Metam addresses this challenge by integrating equipment management workflows into our technology solutions. Real-time tracking of assets ensures seamless coordination between warehouse, field, and subcontractors. This approach minimizes delays, reduces errors in billing, and maintains compliance with safety and regulatory standards.
Contracts & procurement
Managing contracts, bids and procurement efficiently is critical to maintaining profitability and project success. Many firms struggle with bid management, complex vendor relationships, and procurement workflows.
Metam’s strategy and consulting services help firms standardize and streamline these processes, while our integrated technology solutions provide centralized visibility, automated workflows, and real-time analytics to support smarter decision-making and faster bid responses.
Health & safety
Maintaining a safe work environment is both a regulatory and ethical imperative. Health & Safety challenges are often compounded by dispersed teams, multiple job sites, and subcontractor involvement.
Metam supports firms in establishing integrated Health & Safety programs that tie directly to operational workflows, compliance reporting, and risk management. This ensures safety practices are embedded in everyday operations and visible across all teams and projects.
