About the event

The scale and complexity of today’s capital projects, from data centers and life sciences hubs to semiconductor fabs and EV facilities, are greater than ever. With billions of dollars at stake, pre-construction has become one of the most critical phases in the entire project lifecycle. Tight timelines, rising costs, and increasing sustainability demands are redefining how teams plan and coordinate before construction even begins. That’s why industry leaders are gathering at the Pre-construction for Mega Facilities Summit USA, taking place on February 10–11, 2026, in Austin, Texas, USA. This two-day event will unite contractors, designers, engineers, owners, and technology innovators to explore how smarter pre-construction practices are transforming large-scale project delivery. Throughout the summit, you’ll discover how early collaboration, DfMA (Design for Manufacture and Assembly), digital workflows, and data-driven planning are driving efficiency and innovation across complex infrastructure builds. Experts will share practical strategies for managing global supply chains, accelerating project schedules, improving design coordination, and setting up projects for success from day one. The event goes beyond presentations. It’s an opportunity to connect, exchange lessons learned, and rethink how we plan, align, and build in today’s high-stakes construction environment. Join us in Austin, Texas, and be part of the conversation shaping the future of pre-construction. Let’s build smarter from day one.
