  We Didn't Transform. We Just Digitized.

  Aug 9, 202645 minS3

  <p>Before he was Field COO for public sector at Procore, AJ Waters was an engineer whose actual job on a project was moving RFIs out of his company's spreadsheet and into the owner's spreadsheet, then carrying the answer back. His words: "I was the API between the two systems."</p><p>He says that's still the reality on almost every job site.</p><p>This week we get into public sector construction, where every dollar spent on software is a dollar a taxpayer thinks should've gone to a project. Owners maturing off spreadsheets. Data centers as infrastructure, and the...

  Be First To Be Third

  Aug 2, 202646 minS0

  <p>Steve Jones started studying BIM in 2005, back when five people would give you ten definitions of it. Twenty years later he's still doing the same job: finding out what contractors, owners, and designers are actually doing, and what's actually working.</p><p>His verdict on two decades of construction tech promises is not what you'd expect. The vendors weren't the problem. The industry doesn't want to be reinvented — it wants to be better in about 10,000 specific ways. What got underestimated was how hard organizational change is when every project is a temporary organization stitched together from firms with different co...

  Your CPM Schedule Is a Backwards Pass

  Jul 28, 202645 minS3

  <p>Everybody quotes the failure stat. Almost nobody reads it right.</p><p>Alan Espinoza of Reconstructive AI returns for the full Texas Drive Time conversation, and he opens by reframing the number the industry hides behind. It isn't that seven out of ten implementations failed. It's that seven out of ten people struggled to use what you bought them. Different problem. No software fix.</p><p>Then the harder question: what are we actually training these models on? An architect, a GC, and an owner will each get a different answer out of the same tool, because each one...

  No Time To Plan...But Time To Do It Twice

  Jul 20, 202647 minS3

  <p>Your construction schedule is detailed to the hour. Your procurement schedule is two lines on a Gantt chart. That's the problem.</p><p>Jeff Kaufman, founder of JIT Pro, started as a field carpenter, ran large projects as a superintendent, and moved into management where he traced nearly every late job back to the same root cause: procurement. In this episode, Jeff explains why expediting procurement doesn't save time — it compounds risk that lands three months later when the steel package shows up wrong. He and Robert get into hidden buffers versus strategic buffers owned by the whole project te...
