Construction technology CEOs discussing the latest news
in construction, AI and the built world.
The stuff GCs, subs, and owners are talking about. Not the press releases.
First guest episode. Guido Maciocci from AEC Foundry on why foundational models need real benchmarks — not vibes. When does AI actually move the needle on QA/QC? And if AI makes you 10x faster, does your fee go up or does the client just pay less?
We break down what ontologies actually are and why they matter for construction AI. Then: when should you build custom workflows vs. buy off-the-shelf? Plus, why pre-con should be treated as a revenue team.
The challenge with multi-year contracts when AI is changing the game every quarter. CSI is trying to monetize standards while the industry moves on. And when your data lives in someone else's model — who really owns it?
Claude is showing up on real projects. We get into what that means for workflows. If the CM role is changing, who fills the gap? And if you're a GC with no edge — what's left?
The data center pipeline is stalling. Everyone's demo-ing robots but nobody's buying at scale. Where is AI actually making a dent on real projects?
Palantir wants to be construction's operating system. AI is coming for field and office roles — which ones? And if your data lives behind someone else's API, do you really own it?
ACC becomes Forma. Limbach is eating GCs' lunch. Should general contractors become service companies, or is that how you lose owner trust?
Three construction tech CEOs. One unfiltered conversation.
One platform for buyers and sellers to source, procure, and finance MEP equipment.
AI-powered estimating. Contract review, scope generation, and quantity take-offs. Fast enough to keep up with your bid calendar.
Software for collaborative project delivery. The goal: make the owner-architect-contractor relationship less painful.
We pick topics based on what we're hearing on job sites and in boardrooms. If something should be on the show, tell us.
Procore wants to own the whole workflow. Everyone else disagrees.
Tariffs hit 25-30% on steel and copper. Owners still want price certainty. Something has to give.
GCs are becoming service businesses. Owners aren't sure how to feel about it.
Everyone's chasing the work. Few are talking about who holds the schedule risk.
Natural-language coding is real. If you can't build a prototype, are you already behind?
