Rebuilding the Future: Transforming the Property Industry The property market is one of the world’s largest industries—yet one of the last to undergo true technological transformation. This trillion-dollar sector holds massive potential to revolutionize the way we design, build, and operate buildings—making them more affordable, sustainable, and efficient while addressing some of the most urgent challenges of our time. Imagine a future where buildings are smarter, constructed faster and safer, with a fraction of today’s environmental footprint. Where AI, cloud computing, and data-driven insights are redefining workflows, cutting costs, and enabling seamless collaboration across an industry notorious for its complexity. But transformation hasn’t come easy. Past efforts—like BIM—failed to fully deliver on their promise. Why? Because the property industry is uniquely challenging: • Too many stakeholders, too many competing interests. • Projects that are highly customized, with costly last-minute surprises. • An ingrained culture resistant to change. Now, a new wave of technologies and infrastructure is reshaping the industry, unlocking the conditions for real, lasting change. This podcast is your front-row seat to the revolution. We’ll talk to visionary leaders, innovators, and changemakers driving this transformation—leveraging technology to reshape construction, sustainability, and affordability. From automation breakthroughs to radical new collaboration models, these conversations will inspire you to think differently about what’s possible. Welcome to the podcast where we explore how to rebuild an industry—one breakthrough at a time.

    Transformational AEC - Interview with Pankaj Srivastava CEO of Podium.io

    The Future of AEC: How Podium.io is Driving Digital Transformation In this episode, Bill Ruh and Pankaj Srivastava dive into the transformative power of technology in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry. They discuss the challenges of digitization, the shortcomings of Building Information Modeling (BIM), and how Podium.io is building a next-generation collaborative platform to bring all stakeholders together in the construction process. With the $20 trillion property development market ripe for disruption, they explore the role of AI, cloud computing, and strategic partnerships in shaping the industry’s future. Singapore emerges as a key growth hub for Podium.io, highlighting the need to adapt to local markets while leveraging cutting-edge technology. Key Takeaways: ✅ The AEC industry is at a tipping point for digital transformation. ✅ Podium.io aims to revolutionize how construction projects are designed and executed. ✅ Digitization challenges persist, contributing to declining productivity. ✅ BIM has not yet delivered on its full potential to transform the industry. ✅ Real-time collaboration and data sharing are crucial for efficiency. ✅ Partnerships with industry leaders like Autodesk play a strategic role. ✅ The $20 trillion property development market holds vast opportunities for innovation. ✅ Singapore is a strategic hub for Podium.io’s expansion. ✅ The future of AEC will be driven by AI and cloud-based solutions. Tune in to hear how Podium.io is redefining the future of AEC—and what it means for the industry’s next chapter.
