The latest issue of the AICEF Journal is available on the AIC website.

This edition covers heat-related injuries and fatalities in roofing based on OSHA investigations from 2003 to 2024, a proposed methodology for certifying multi-rotor UAS pilots for state departments of transportation, the use of the NAHB Production Home Competition to teach business skills in construction management programs, and how the industry is adapting to the expectations of Gen Z and Millennial workers.

This research has direct implications for how you train, staff, and manage risk on your projects.

Each year, AIC's National Awards recognize constructors, educators, and organizations who exemplify professionalism, ethics, and leadership in the industry.

These honors reflect the same standards that shape AIC's certification programs: rigor, integrity, and a commitment to advancing the profession.

Board of Directors nominations are also open for those ready to help guide that work at the organizational level.

The Certified Associate Constructor (CAC) is the AIC Levl 1 exam that evaluates whether a constructor can manage safety, scheduling, cost control, and quality together, under the pressures of an active project.

Software can flag a risk or a budget variance. The exam confirms a candidate can weigh that information and make the right call.

Applications for the Fall Certified Associate Constructor (CAC) and Certified Professional Constructor (CPC) exams are open.

These credentials validate more than technical knowledge.

They confirm a constructor can apply sound judgment when project tools and forecasts don't tell the whole story, a skill that matters more as construction relies more heavily on automated systems.

AIC shares the sad news that Matthew W. Fuchs, P.E., has passed away at age 89.

For over four decades, Mattew shaped construction education at the Milwaukee School of Engineering and mentored generations of engineers and builders.

AIC was honored to recognize him as a National Fellow (2002) and with our National Klinger Constructor Education Award .

His impact on our profession will be felt for years to come. Our thoughts are with his family, friends, and everyone who learned from him. https://f.mtr.cool/gncbyb62xc

AIC members were active at this year's ACCE Annual Conference, serving on committees, Visiting Teams, and the ACCE Board of Trustees.

Beyond the sessions, our members made time to connect, and AIC's international involvement continues to grow with an upcoming trip to the TCI Global Conference in Argentina.

Congratulations to Roger Williams University , this year's recipient of the Dennis Bausman award and stipend, presented by Andy Wasiniak on behalf of the AIC Education Foundation at the 2026 ACCE Annual Conference.

The award recognizes real contributions to construction education, the kind of work that keeps the pipeline between classrooms and job sites strong. AICEF is proud to help honor it every year.

When universities and industry work from the same expectations, students step into the field better prepared for real project responsibilities.

Construction management programs that stay closely connected to contractors, owners, and professional standards bodies can:

- Align coursework with current practice and role expectations
- Give students clearer insight into what firms are looking for
- Help graduates move more smoothly from classroom to jobsite

AIC partnerships are designed to support that alignment by connecting programs and firms around shared standards for constructor knowledge, ethics, and professionalism.

Learn how AIC can help your university or company build stronger connections that equip future constructors. https://f.mtr.cool/necnojlerg

Most subcontractors know the frustration of sending contract redlines—only to have the GC reject them because mobilization is falling behind.

Our partners at Superlegal just put together a practical guide breaking down why timing and volume cause GCs to fight back, and how trade contractors can get critical terms accepted without dragging out pre-con.

It covers how to handle payment terms, scope changes, and indemnity clauses—plus why a targeted, 3-day review strategy keeps leverage on your side.

Being a professional constructor is more than holding a title or finishing a list of projects.

It means:

- Understanding how your role fits into the full project lifecycle
- Managing risk, cost, schedule, and quality with a long‑term view
- Operating from a clear ethics standard, even under pressure
- Committing to ongoing learning as methods, tools, and expectations change

AIC membership is designed to support that level of professionalism — through standards, community, and continuing professional development focused on constructor practice.
