Procore Technologies unveiled more than 50 new capabilities at its Groundbreak 2026 conference held from October 20 to 22 in Orlando, Florida, signalling a significant expansion of artificial intelligence, automation and digital project management technologies designed to improve construction productivity.
The annual event attracted more than 5,000 construction professionals, with announcements focused on connecting project information, streamlining workflows and helping contractors make better-informed decisions throughout the construction lifecycle.
For heavy civil general contractors managing complex infrastructure projects, the developments could offer new opportunities to improve scheduling, coordination, risk management and field productivity.
AI moves into everyday construction workflows
Among the announcements was Procore AI Go – a voice-first mobile application that allows construction professionals to retrieve project information using spoken questions.
Entering open beta, the technology enables field personnel to access drawings, specifications and other project records without manually searching through documents.
Procore also announced a partnership with Meta to integrate the technology with AI-enabled glasses, potentially allowing crews to access information and capture jobsite images hands-free.
Meanwhile, the company’s Magpie 3.0 AI reasoning engine, also in open beta, connects information across drawings, RFIs, photographs and other project documentation.
Digital twins target infrastructure risks
Procore also announced its expanded collaboration with NVIDIA to introduce advanced digital twin capabilities for complex construction projects.
Using NVIDIA Omniverse technology, contractors can visualize projects in realistic 3D environments and simulate conditions such as extreme weather to identify potential construction challenges before they affect schedules.
Currently in closed beta, the technology could prove particularly relevant to major transportation, bridge and other infrastructure projects where changing site conditions create significant risks.
Connecting project data and operations
Additional announcements included enhanced scheduling connections to submittals and procurement activities, AI-assisted timesheet capture and expanded safety management capabilities.
Procore also announced a collaboration with IBM to connect construction asset information with long-term operations and maintenance systems. The initiative aims to improve the transfer of project information from contractors to infrastructure owners following construction.
Focus shifts toward connected construction
The announcements reflect Procore’s broader strategy to transform its platform from a project management system into an integrated source of construction intelligence.
And for heavy civil contractors, the potential benefits extend beyond administrative efficiency to improved visibility into project performance, earlier identification of risks and stronger coordination between field teams and project management.
