We have now delivered multiple projects with this new system, with the current Lower Manhattan project being the ultimate.”
Doka- a company that has spent over 150 years building the tools for architects and contractors alike- has long carried a reputation for precision engineering at scale. As Michael puts it, the company“ produces best-in-class quality products, backed by strong engineering and people with deep market knowledge. That’ s carried through into how we approach digital tools.”
Digitally driven
As 2025 presented numerous challenges across the US and North American construction markets, namely inflation, delayed projects and broader economic
uncertainty, Michael notes the effect this had on Doka.“ We still made progress, but the market just wasn’ t as robust as we’ d have hoped – it certainly didn’ t help.” In Canada, cross-border trade tensions added further hesitation for developers deliberating over new projects. However, the climate has shifted, and, according to Michael, US business is now well above 2023 levels. He remains optimistic about momentum building across the Americas and nowhere is that ambition clearer than in Doka’ s digital push.
The business has very recently rolled out Doka 360 in the US – a platform almost a year in development, now officially
