Co|Lab serves as HITT Contracting’s designated space for the research and testing of emerging materials, approaches, and technology that will rapidly transform the construction and real estate industries. This important work will rely heavily on collaboration amongst our industry and community partners, investing resources to mock up, test, and share our experiences broadly to improve the way we build.
HITT Contracting and Co|Lab are dedicated to setting a new industry standard for productivity and efficiencies, elevating the business of building, and engaging the next generation of builders with educational opportunities.
“As building professionals, we have a responsibility to come together to find ways to embrace new materials, approaches, and technology. Our goal is to help bridge the gap between architects, subcontractors, and clients to deliver better buildings and spaces.”

Aidan brings a marketing and event operations background to the lab and is focused on executing strategies and communicating findings to drive awareness and adoption of ideas across our three focus areas.
Given the transformational work to occur within Co|Lab, it was important to create an inspirational space and state-of-the-art building. We couldn’t have accomplished our design and construction goals without our key building partners.
