Construction labor shortages and costly rework are killing profits—but what if your machines could work smarter? In this episode of The Construction Show, SMS Equipment experts Kris Troppmann and James Barr reveal how smart construction tech (like KOMATSU’s AI dozers and Trimble’s GPS systems) is helping contractors slash rework by 90%, bid jobs tighter, and turn inexperienced operators into grade-control pros. No hype—just real-world solutions that are changing the industry.

The Problem? Manual grading, guesswork, and wasted fuel. The Solution? Machines that learn the terrain and auto-correct in real-time. Kris and James break down how proactive dozing, remote support, and live data dashboards let contractors track progress, avoid costly mistakes, and even bill clients faster. Plus, why big contractors now refuse to bid jobs without this tech.

Ready to upgrade your fleet? SMS Equipment doesn’t just sell tech—they partner with you to implement it step by step. Whether you’re new to machine control or a seasoned pro, this episode is packed with actionable insights. Hit LIKE if you learned something, and SUBSCRIBE for more tips on building smarter!
