Construction teams are under pressure to deliver projects faster, with tighter cost control and higher quality, while managing labour constraints and shifting supply conditions. In that context, digital tools need to do more than store documents or connect people. Decision makers want evidence that technology adoption leads to measurable improvement on real projects. Autodesk is addressing that expectation with research that quantifies the business value teams can achieve when project data and workflows are connected. Why disconnected workflo...

Posted on 30 Jan 2026 Driven by strong growth in semi-finished steel shipments, Iran’s total exports of semis and finished steel products surged 31.3% year-on-year in the first nine months of the Iranian calendar year, 21 March-21 December 2025, reaching 9.46 million tonnes, Kallanish notes. According to data published on the Iranian Steel Producers Association’s (ISPA) Chilan portal, export growth was led by semis and a sharp rise in flat steel shipments, which more than offset weaker performance in finished longs. Nine-month exports of billet...
