What happens when product data finally becomes as smart as the models it lives in? This week's episode features Ben Glunz of Anguleris and BIMsmith in an explorative conversation about how connected product data, structured specs, and intelligent digital content are reshaping design workflows from the ground up. Ben breaks down why architects and engineers still struggle to access trustworthy, build-ready manufacturer data, and what's changing as AI, cloud platforms, and digital twins bring real-time information into the design process. This episode is a must-listen for architects, spec writers, BIM managers, manufacturers, and anyone curious about the future of product data, interoperability, and AI-driven design. You'll learn: Why AEC's product data ecosystem is overdue for transformation How structured, validated content accelerates design decisions Where AI can meaningfully support spec writing and model intelligence MEET OUR GUEST Benjamin Glunz, Assoc. AIA, is an architect-turned-technologist and the Founder and CEO of Anguleris, a global leader in construction technology. With a passion for bridging the gap between building product manufacturers and AEC professionals, Ben spearheaded the development of BIMsmith®, an industry-leading product research and specification platform, and Swatchbox®, the leading material sample platform for architects and designers. Under his leadership, Anguleris has expanded its reach internationally, establishing European headquarters in London and offices in Milan and acquiring platforms like Modlar® and Concora to further enhance its offerings. TODD TAKES Legacy Can Spark Innovation Deep roots in construction don't have to lock us into old ways—they can be the spark for new ideas. When experience meets curiosity, it creates the foundation to reimagine how the industry works and to move it forward in bold ways. Circularity Beats Recycling Sustainability goes beyond recycling. A circular approach prevents waste before it starts by keeping resources in use and extending their life cycle. It's about building smarter systems that maximize value while minimizing impact. Innovation Should Feel Like a Jetpack, Not a Replacement The best technology doesn't replace people—it empowers them. Innovation should remove the drudgery, free up creativity, and accelerate progress. When disruption feels like a jetpack instead of a threat, that's when real transformation happens.   More Resources  Thanks for listening!

Dans cet épisode des Bâtisseurs, je reçois Nicolas Foucher, Construction & Real Estate Leader chez OnePoint, pour parler d'un sujet que tout le secteur sent arriver… mais que peu ont vraiment structuré : à quoi ressembleront les métiers du BTP en 2035 ?À partir du livre blanc “Beyond Construction - Les nouveaux métiers du BTP en 2035”, on décortique trois vagues qui arrivent en même temps et qui vont faire bouger tout le monde, des majors aux PME :la pression environnementale et réglementaire (RE2020, décret tertiaire, loi AGEC, REP PMCB…),la transformation digitale accélérée par l'IA (BIM, automatisation, cas d'usage très concrets sur les chantiers),la transformation humaine (pénurie de talents, manque d'ingénieurs, attractivité, féminisation, mobilité interne).Nicolas partage des exemples très concrets (UTB, Eiffage, La Défense…) où l'IA fait déjà gagner des milliers de minutes sur des tâches de support… avant même d'attaquer le cœur de métier. On parle aussi du compagnon de 2035 — mieux équipé, moins de pénibilité, plus mobile - et du rôle clé des fédérations et des coalitions pour faire passer le secteur à l'échelle.Un épisode optimiste mais lucide : la transformation du BTP est nécessaire, elle se fera parfois « dans la douleur », mais ceux qui s'y mettent tôt prendront de l'avance. Le livre blanc "Beyond Construction - Les nouveau métiers du BTP en 2035" est disponible ici Vous trouverez également la vidéo complète de cet échange : https://youtu.be/x4dj8xX-l-cSuivez Les Bâtisseurs et Abonnez-Vous à notre page linkedin

If you're able to isolate each component piece to the individual project teams and let them deal with them on a project by project basis, it's a lot easier. – Enda GrimesWhat is a digital rehearsal? It's about building something digitally and rehearsing it and then putting it in practice in real life... the whole purpose is to plan out those works in a safe manner, to make sure that it works.  - Enda GrimesI learned that sometimes to be Irish is a good thing in international projects because we're good at talking. We're probably have a good way about us with people, and you're able to bring different cultures together. - Enda GrimesI think practical experience is really important actually. There is a shortcoming in our education process at the moment. It's too theoretical, and that connection to industry is lost. - Enda GrimesKEYWORDS#Engineering principles #strategicplanning #constructionprojects #FormulaOnethemepark #Europeanspallationsource #projectexecution #timemanagement #digital tools #BIM #digitalrehearsal #communicationskills #career progression #internationalexperience #practicalexperience #leadership 

Wie führt man ein fast 100 Jahre altes Bauunternehmen in die Zukunft – zwischen Fachkräftemangel, Digitalisierung und Bürokratie? In dieser Folge sprechen wir mit Christoph Wilkending und Sabrina Gerlof vom Baugeschäft Wolf aus Hildesheim. Christoph erzählt, wie er als klassischer Maurer angefangen hat, über die Meisterschule zum Unternehmer wurde und schließlich Verantwortung für ein gewachsenes Team übernommen hat. Sabrina bringt die Perspektive aus IT, Konzern- und Start-up-Welt mit und zeigt, wie viel frischer Wind von außen ins Handwerk kommen kann. Gemeinsam nehmt ihr mit, wie sich ein traditioneller Betrieb von unter zehn auf rund 40 Mitarbeitende entwickelt, welche Baustellen dadurch im Büro entstehen und warum digitale Prozesse, saubere Buchhaltung und klare Kommunikation plötzlich überlebenswichtig werden. Es geht um Ausbildung, Nachwuchsgewinnung und den Ruf des Handwerks, um den Besuch von Ministerpräsident Olaf Lies auf der Baustelle und die Frage, was Politik wirklich besser machen könnte. Außerdem sprechen wir über Megatrends wie BIM und digitale Zwillinge, darüber, was davon schon Alltag ist und was noch Zukunftsvision bleibt – und werfen einen Blick nach vorne auf das Jubiläum: 100 Jahre Baugeschäft Wolf in Hildesheim.

Auditoría. Solo decir la palabra ya pone los pelos de punta a más de uno. Pero si le añades “BIM”, la mezcla puede provocar sudores fríos. En este episodio hablamos con Pilar García Martínez, responsable de sistemas de gestión y auditora en Acciona, sobre cómo se gestiona la calidad, qué papel juegan las auditorías y cómo se entrelazan con la metodología BIM sin perder el norte (ni la paciencia). Porque auditar no va solo de revisar papeles, sino de aprender a mirar —y a mejorar— los procesos que sostienen todo lo que construimos. Y sí, también va de entender que sin los frikis del BIM y los guardianes del control de calidad, no hay proyecto que aguante en pie. De las pipetas al hormigón. Pilar García Martínez cuenta cómo una licenciada en Químicas acabó metida hasta las botas en el mundo de la construcción y, con el tiempo, en la gestión de calidad. La historia de Pilar empieza en una obra y termina entre sistemas de gestión, procesos BIM y auditorías internas, demostrando que el camino entre la ciencia y la ingeniería no es tan largo como parece. Lo que empezó como una oportunidad laboral se convirtió en una vocación. Pilar descubre que la calidad en obra no es solo hacer ensayos o revisar probetas, sino garantizar que cada proceso tiene sentido, se cumple y se mejora. Entra en el mundo de las auditorías desde dentro y aprende que, más que juzgar, auditar consiste en escuchar, entender y detectar oportunidades de mejora. Bienvenido al episodio 193 de BIMrras!

Durante años hemos pensado que el BIM iba de muros, ventanas y geometrías. Pero el invitado de hoy viene a desmontar ese mito con gráficos, métricas y un Power BI bajo el brazo. Porque, al final, el modelo no es solo geometría: es información. Y la información, cuando se entiende, vale más que el render más bonito. En este episodio hablamos con Israel Álvarez, ingeniero de telecomunicaciones, máster en Big Data y Business Intelligence, y —para sorpresa de muchos— uno de los tipos que mejor entiende cómo el análisis de datos puede darle una nueva dimensión al BIM. Power BI, Speckle, dashboards, datos estructurados y gobernanza: bienvenido al episodio más nerdamente delicioso que ha pasado por BIMrras. ¡Bienvenido al episodio 192 de BIMrras! BIMrras es el Primer Podcast Colaborativo sobre BIM en español. El podcast sobre BIM que Chuck Norris no se atreve a escuchar. Donde tres arquitectos BIMtrastornados discutimos sobre todo lo relacionado con el mundo del Building Information Modeling.

Saison 6 - Episode n°65 - Enregistré à Seignosse le 5 septembre 2025. Rarement un de nos épisode n'aura été obsolète aussi vite. Quand on a enregistré l'épisode, Michael Darrigade avait décroché un Emmy Awards. Bim. 48 heures plus tard et le matos d'enregistrement probablement pas encore totalement déballé de nos sacs, il en comptait deux. 
Deux des récompenses les plus prestigieuses du cinéma, décrochées à Los Angeles pour son travail auprès entre autres de Vincent Kardasik et Laurent Pujol sur la série-réalité 100-foot wave. Reconnaissance ultime de la profession à cet ancien chauffeur de bus originaire du Boucau qui ne se prédestinait pourtant pas à se retrouver derrière une caméra. Et pourtant. 
Des premières sessions en photo sur Anglet à la vague mythique de Sancho à Nazaré en 2014 filmée presque par hasard, de sa formation sur le terrain auprès du ‘'maître'' Vincent Kardasik aux périlleuses missions en immersion avec des dealers ou des ultras de l'OM pour la TV, du tournage du documentaire de Damien Castera sur la guerre en Ukraine à la session surréaliste à Cortes Bank, Michael - alias Boula - vit sa vie à 100 à l'heure, passant d'un univers à l'autre comme un caméléon, avec la passion comme moteur. Une vie qu'il nous raconte dans cet épisode enrichi des passages du livre de Damien Castera dont il est - presque malgré lui - l'un des protagonistes. Bref, un épisode sans fioritures et riche en anecdotes, à découvrir d'urgence. Bonne écoute.

What does it take to build a data strategy that empowers people—rather than overwhelms them? Live from AU Nashville, BIM governance leader Kirsty Hogg unpacks how to build a useful data strategy (not a data swamp), keep feedback lightweight in ACC, and prepare your teams for AI, machine learning, and cloud-first workflows. We dig into lessons-learned capture, lakehouse fundamentals, picking low-friction tools (Ideate, File Sync), and why cultural safety (“it's OK to learn fast”) turns skeptics into champions. Plus: what seamless interoperability should look like—and how to inch toward it today. You'll learn: How to frame questions before filling your data lake Practical ways to capture “lessons learned” via ACC issues Change management that actually sticks (and who should be the messenger) Why fewer tools = faster wins—and where AI truly fits next A realistic path toward interoperability and Forma-era workflows MEET OUR GUEST Kirsty Hogg is a BIM Governance Lead based in London, overseeing software strategy, standards, and workflows for a global engineering consultancy. She focuses on practical data governance, cloud-first delivery, and scalable processes that make ACC, Ideate, and automation work for real project teams. Kirsty champions “data with intention,” helping organizations capture the right signals for analytics and AI—while building a culture where learning fast beats perfection. TODD TAKES Data With Intention, Not Accumulation Start with the questions, then collect the data. Keep data feedback capture lightweight (e.g., “lessons learned” via simple ACC issues), make it interoperable, and build your data lake to serve decisions—not to hoard. Machine learning comes after you've curated useful, consistent signals. Make It Safe to Learn Fast Change sticks when teams are allowed to “do it wrong” once to see why the better path matters. Spread champions beyond BIM—let others carry the message so the right people hear the “what's in it for me.” The right messenger accelerates adoption. Fewer Tools, Faster Wins Choose tools with a low learning curve and broad utility to cut cognitive load and speed uptake. Automations and smart syncs free people from busywork so they can focus on value. Keep strategy horizons short, stay cloud-first, and design for interoperability as Forma and AI evolve.   More Resources  Thanks for listening!

What does it take to make sustainability more than a buzzword? Recorded live at Autodesk University 2025 in Nashville, this conversation with Allison Scott, Director of Customer Experience & Industry Engagement at Autodesk, dives into how sustainability becomes real when it's woven into the daily workflow. Allison shares how the AEC industry is entering a hockey-stick moment—where data, technology, and culture converge to turn good intentions into measurable impact. From integrating carbon with cost to building a culture of accountability, this episode explores how innovation, accessibility, and human leadership are reshaping the built world for people and planet alike. Highlights from the Conversation Why sustainability must be embedded into everyday workflows How connecting cost and carbon drives smarter business decisions The rise of digital culture and generational change in AEC Turning data into action: the role of tech in reducing emissions Why transformation happens top-down and bottom-up MEET OUR GUEST Allison Scott is Director of Customer Experience & Industry Engagement at Autodesk, leading sustainability initiatives that bridge technology and impact across the built environment. With over 20 years of experience spanning architecture, construction, and tech, Allison focuses on transforming sustainability from a concept into a core business advantage—helping firms design, build, and operate with purpose and performance in mind. TODD TAKES Sustainability Must Be Woven Into the Workflow Allison underscored that sustainability can't be a side effort or a separate team in the corner—it has to become part of the everyday workflow. Just like BIM or digital field tools, the biggest gains happen when sustainable practices are integrated into decisions early and often. Practicality Turns Buzzwords Into Value Sustainability often feels overwhelming or abstract, but Allison reframed it as a practical, competitive advantage. By tying carbon data directly to cost, companies can ground big goals in everyday project choices—whether it's reducing waste, reusing materials, or tracking embodied carbon. That shift moves sustainability from “good intentions” to measurable business impact. Transformation Happens Top-Down and Bottom-Up The industry is in a hockey-stick moment where both leadership mandates and grassroots champions are driving change. From superintendents using mobile tools to enterprise-level firms making sustainability part of their strategy, the cultural shift is accelerating. The future of innovation comes from aligning both forces to make sustainable, tech-enabled practices the norm.   More Resources  Thanks for listening!

What happens when a tech leader with a background in democratizing design at companies like Figma turns their attention to architecture? This week, we're joined by Radhika Parashar Narain, Head of Marketing at Arcol, a software company reimagining how architects design and collaborate.Coming from the world of Software as a Service (SaaS), Radhika offers a fresh and insightful perspective on a profession she finds fascinatingly complex and creative, yet overdue for better tools. She shares her initial shock at the fragmented, inefficient, and often joyless workflows architects are forced to navigate. Radhika discusses the cultural and practical hurdles to tech adoption in an industry rooted in tradition, from the high "cost of change" after years spent learning legacy software to a scarcity mindset around collaboration. The conversation explores how Arcol, founded with a "Figma for BIM" ethos, aims to bring simplicity, accessibility, and collaboration to the earliest stages of design.Ultimately, Radhika's vision is not about disruption for its own sake, but about empowerment. She argues that by embracing intuitively designed, cloud-based tools, architects can reduce friction, foster collaboration, and rediscover the joy in their craft. Her hope is for architects to raise their standards for the software they use every day."My hope for the profession is for architects to have as high expectations as we have of the tools that we can foresee and we can kind of imagine can bring that joy back to the process." - Radhika Parashar NarainThis episode concludes with a call for the profession to see technology as a leverage point. Radhika encourages architects, especially students and smaller firms, to experiment early, build collaboration as a muscle, and use new tools to "punch above their weight." By democratizing access to powerful, well-designed software, the next generation can move beyond the limitations of legacy systems and focus on what they do best: creating the built world.Guest:Radhika Parashar Narain is the Head of Marketing at Arcol, a software company building a new generation of design and collaboration tools for architects. With a background in SaaS and design technology, including a tenure at Figma, she is passionate about empowering creators with better tools and making design more accessible to everyone.Is This Episode for You?This episode is for you if:✅ You are an architect frustrated with your current software and workflows. ✅ You are curious about how the mindset of Silicon Valley (SaaS) applies to the AEC industry. ✅ You want to understand the challenges and opportunities of tech adoption in architecture. ✅ You believe in the power of technology to democratize design and empower smaller firms. ✅ You are a student or educator looking for the next wave of tools that will shape the future of practice.

"If it's 91 degrees in mid-October… why are people still wearing beanies?"That's just one of the many questions tackled in this laugh-out-loud episode of The Ben and Skin Show, featuring Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina “Ray.Fresh off the Rollertown Open charity golf tournament in Frisco, the gang dives into:The Beanie Guy Debate: Why do some people insist on wearing winter gear in 90-degree weather? The crew breaks down seasonal denial and climate confusion.The Rise of “Slim”: Former NFL player Johnny Harris mistakenly (or brilliantly?) nicknames Skin “Slim,” and it sticks. From “Snap into a Slim Jeff” to “Bim and Slim,” the show spirals into nickname chaos.Golf Scramble Shenanigans: Skin's anxiety about being the “non-celebrity” in a celebrity charity scramble leads to hilarious self-deprecation and unexpected bonding with Johnny Harris.

What does it take to turn skeptics into champions of innovation? Recorded live at Autodesk University 2025, this conversation with Mark Dinius of Satterfield & Pontikes dives into how one of Texas's most forward-thinking builders is shaping a “bleeding-edge” culture where technology, trust, and field-first innovation thrive. From leading a major Procore → ACC migration to redefining risk management with data-driven tools, Mark shares practical lessons in change management, intentional tech adoption, and empowering teams to see value in new ways. Highlights from the Conversation How culture turns skeptics into tech champions Why new tools demand new processes—not old habits Building trust through early wins and people-first support Why interoperability beats tool overload every time The future of AI and object-driven data in construction MEET OUR GUEST Mark Dinius is Vice President of Innovation & Technology at Satterfield & Pontikes, where he leads IT, VDC, systems integration, and analytics across commercial, industrial, K–12, and healthcare projects. A BIM pioneer and Purdue alum, Mark has evolved from virtual construction within academia into driving digital transformation in the field—advancing object-driven data, process modernization, and intentional tech adoption to help his teams work smarter, not harder. TODD TAKES Culture Turns Skeptics into Champions SatPon's “bleeding edge” mindset starts at the top and spreads by proving value on real jobs. Once teams see tech remove risk and save time, the boulder rolls downhill—your hardest skeptics become your loudest advocates. Trust is earned by solving their problems first. Be Intentional: New Tech, New Process Their Procore → ACC migration worked because they didn't cram old habits into new tools. Clear ownership, phased rollout, and people-first support (training, ticketing, KPIs) kept overwhelm down and adoption up. The same discipline guides AI: avoid point-solution sprawl, prioritize impact. Make the Field's Job Easier (Object-Driven Data) The win isn't “more apps”—it's faster answers where supers already live: the plans. An object-driven approach that ties RFIs, submittals, schedule, costs, and vendor info to the element on screen beats tool-switching every time. Interoperability (and smart tools) should serve that simple goal.   More Resources  Thanks for listening! Please be sure to leave a rating and/or review and follow up our social accounts.

Building a business that lasts isn't just about great design, it's about vision, trust, and the people who help bring it all together. In this episode of Architect My Business, host Aya Shlachter sits down with Stephanie Lindsay and Jessica Nelson, co-founders of Etch Design Group, a full-service interior design firm in Austin, Texas. What started as two creatives with complementary strengths has evolved into a thriving enterprise that includes Etch Property Management, Postscript Styling, and AI for Interiors, a growing platform that empowers designers through technology and education. Stephanie and Jessica share how their journey from side hustles to building a multi-faceted business was guided by shared values, humility, and a deep respect for one another's strengths. They talk candidly about the challenges of entrepreneurship, the importance of investing in people, and how clear communication and mutual trust have been the cornerstone of their ten-year partnership. The conversation also explores the realities of scaling a creative business, including learning when to delegate, hiring business coaches, and maintaining balance between passion and profitability. Their story is a testament to what happens when you lead with intention, nurture your relationships, and never lose sight of the joy that brought you to the work in the first place. Key Takeaways: Partnerships thrive on respect, trust, and open communication. Let go of control, invest in the right people, and allow experts to do their best work. Delegate tasks that don't serve your highest value to free up time for what truly matters. Self-care and clarity are essential for long-term business success. Failures are not setbacks; they are stepping stones to greater achievements. A strong company culture starts with putting people before profit. Hiring a business coach can provide clarity, structure, and fresh perspective. Stay adaptable, as growth often requires a pivot. Passion and purpose fuel resilience during challenging seasons. Life is short, so build a business and a life that aligns with what you truly love.

Tomar decisiones en la construcción no es solo cuestión de planos, estándares o software. Detrás de cada entrega hay una cadena de elecciones que puede marcar la diferencia entre el éxito o el fracaso de un proyecto. Y no, no estamos hablando de cambiar de marca de café. En este episodio nos metemos de lleno en la madre de todos los temas: cómo tomamos decisiones… y cómo muchas veces nos engañamos creyendo que lo hacemos bien. Para ello contamos con alguien que de decisiones sabe un rato largo: Miguel Ángel Ariño, profesor del IESE, autor de varios libros de referencia y experto en análisis de decisiones. Con Miguel desmontamos mitos, sesgos y dogmas que todos —sí, tú también— seguimos arrastrando en nuestra forma de decidir. ¡Bienvenido al episodio 190 de BIMrras!

Most construction companies think they're using BIM. They're not. And it's costing them 20% on every project.In this episode of Bricks & Bytes, Owen sits down with Dave from Procore's BIM team and Tore Hovland, founder of NovaRender (recently acquired by Procore), to unpack what's really happening in the BIM space and why two major acquisitions just changed the game.Key topics discussed:Why BIM adoption is actually 20-30%, not the 70% everyone claimsThe hidden 2GB browser limit killing your ability to view large modelsHow building from 2D vs 3D vs full BIM changes cost overruns from 20% to 5%Why Procore spent millions acquiring NovaRender and Flypaper simultaneouslyThe streaming technology that lets you open 50-mile infrastructure projects in secondsWhat 80% of acquisitions fail and why culture matters more than techThe future where construction happens without drawings"Where we're going, there are no drawings. You could actually build off the model. It could actually be the permit that goes out." - Dave, ProcoreIf you've ever wondered why your BIM models won't load, why projects keep going over budget, or what the hell is actually happening with construction technology right now, this episode breaks it all down.---------------Our Sponsor: Archdesk - “The #1 Construction Management Software for Growing Companies - Manage your projects from Tender to Handover” check archdesk.comBuildVision - streamlining the construction supply chain with a unified platform - www.buildvision.ioChapters00:00 Intro02:00 Introduction to Procore and NovaRender Acquisition04:02 Winning BIM: Strategies and Challenges06:52 The Significance of NovaRender in BIM12:04 The Vision Behind NovaRender's Creation15:42 The Decision to Partner with Procore16:57 Acquisition of Flypaper: Enhancing BIM Solutions19:51 BIM Adoption Trends and Statistics23:47 The Impact of BIM on Project Costs28:49 Procore's Growth Strategy in Europe30:26 The Importance of Data Ownership in BIM37:41 Dave's Background and Its Influence on Procore39:16 The Evolution of BIM and Sustainable Construction41:04 User-Centric Design in Construction Technology42:45 Streamlining BIM Models for Field Use45:40 Defining Success in BIM Adoption50:20 Lessons from Founding NoRender54:17 The Acquisition Process: Insights and Experiences01:03:53 Future Predictions for BIM and Construction Technology

In episode 20 of Constructing With Care, host Leslie Tullio from DPR Construction continues the conversation with Curtis Skolnik of CommonSpirit Health and Jonathan Bykowski of Array Advisors. Building on their earlier discussion about vision, stakeholder alignment, and data-driven strategy, they now dive into how organizations execute with confidence—exploring the role of lean construction, BIM/VDC, technology integration, and leadership in navigating capital projects. Host, Leslie Tullio is joined by: Curtis Skolnick, CommonSpirit Health Jonathan Bykowski, Array Advisors Episode Highlights 01:30 – The role of BIM and VDC Curtis discusses how early-stage planning tools accelerate implementation, but also the challenge of how far to push them in upfront planning. 02:59 – Industry gaps in technology adoption Jonathan challenges the AEC industry's slow progress, explaining why BIM is really data and how outdated paradigms still hold projects back. 05:42 – Balancing innovation with value Curtis emphasizes that innovation must have practical value, not just novelty. 06:17 – Creating room for experimentation  Jonathan highlights the lack of a “safe space” to test new approaches and how integrated project delivery helps create room for experimentation. 07:35 – Financial risk and uncertainty Curtis explains how CommonSpirit uses constant data modeling to mitigate financial risk in a volatile environment. 09:14 – Resource allocation challenges A look at how health systems manage limited human resources and prioritize projects. 10:53 – Rethinking ROI Jonathan describes how clients are focusing more on long-term flexibility and adaptability, not just immediate cost-benefit. 13:02 – Building a leadership bench Curtis shares how CommonSpirit fosters a culture of collaboration, innovation, and change through leadership development. 15:40 – Working with different client cultures Jonathan explains how Array Advisors adapts its role to support diverse organizational cultures, sometimes even using creative tactics like removing titles in meetings. 17:53 – Building trust and relationships Both guests reflect on the importance of trust and relationship-building in driving project success. 19:25 – What the future holds Predictions for the next 5–10 years: the emergence of a two-tier healthcare system and the need for faster decision-making. 21:13 – Advice for navigating uncertainty Curtis: Understand your risk tolerance and the risk/reward equation. Jonathan: Be brave and do no harm. Quotes Curtis Skolnick   "Not all ROI is financial—sometimes it's access, equity, or the human impact that matters most."      

Chris Neufeld from DPR Construction joins Seth Kalkman on Constructive to explore the world of prefabrication. Chris, who leads DPR's prefab strategy for the Northwest region, explains why prefabrication isn't just about big modular units, but a spectrum of solutions, from small-scale assemblies to entire volumetric buildings.Chris shares how DPR uses a tiered approach to prefabrication, starting with early-stage design to identify opportunities for adding value through cost, schedule, and predictability. He also offers an insightful analogy for a two-year-old, comparing building a treehouse one nail at a time versus assembling large parts on the ground first for safety and efficiency.The conversation dives into the challenges of prefabrication, including common industry pessimism and the importance of learning from mistakes. Chris discusses how technology like BIM, computational design, and AI is changing the game, allowing for better quality control and more reliable data. He also touches on the future of the industry, the role of vertical integration, and the importance of fostering a culture of innovation.Learn how one of the industry's most innovative companies is navigating the shift from traditional construction to a more sophisticated, manufacturing-like approach.Key Topics:The spectrum of prefabrication DPR Construction's tiered approach The value of predictability, not just cost and schedule Combating industry pessimism The role of technology, AI, and robotics Fostering a culture of innovation Connect with Constructive:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ConstructivePodcastLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/constructivepodcast#Construction #Prefabrication #Prefab #ModularConstruction #DPRConstruction #Innovation #AEC #BuiltEnvironment #ProjectManagement #DigitalConstruction #ConstructionTechnology #AI #Robotics #SupplyChain #Manufacturing #Constructive
