    Episode 7: You Don't Own Me (But You *DO* Own This Building) Special Guest Erin Flynt Christiansen

    What do owners really want from a construction project?   In Episode 7 of Bricks & Chicks, we're joined by the incredible Erin Flynt Christiansen, Account Executive - Owners at IMAGINiT, to talk about communication, accountability, stakeholder management, and the realities of delivering successful projects.   We get into what creates trust between teams, why projects go sideways, how owners measure success, and what separates great project partners from the ones nobody wants to work with twice.   As always, we'll share a few stories, a little chaos, and our usual over/under segment (Lisa has her Post-It notes at the ready!)   Have an idea for an episode or want to join us as a guest?

    Episode 6: Women in Construction (One of the guys, but better dressed)

    Construction has come a long way, but there are still plenty of stories to tell! In this episode, we share stories about working in construction, discuss the challenges and opportunities women still face in the industry, and celebrate the people and experiences that make our lives (and construction!) so rewarding. Expect laughs, honest conversations, and a few stories that might sound a little too familiar. This one is all about navigating the industry, finding your voice, and proving that steel toes and style can absolutely co-exist. Want to join us as a guest or have an idea for an episode?

    Episode 5: An Owner, Engineer & Architect Walk Into a Software Platform...(Not a walk into a bar joke)

    An owner, an engineer, and an architect walk into a software platform...the result?:   Chaos? Collaboration? A little of both?   In "An Owner, Engineer & Architect Walk Into a Software Platform...(Not a walk into a bar joke)", we discuss how technology helps connect stakeholders throughout the project lifecycle, from design and coordination to construction and closeout. We also talk about common frustrations, disconnected workflows, and what happens when everyone is working from different information. Also...cryptids & cows?? No bar jokes. We promise...maybe   Want to be a guest or have an idea for an episode? Write to us at: bricksandchicks@rand.com

    Episode 4: Software & Services: Special Guest Lance (Not the member of N*Sync) Borst

    In Episode 4 of Bricks & Chicks, we're joined by special guest Lance Borst! He's giving us a behind-the-scenes look at the world of software implementation, training, and delivery services in construction tech. As a Senior Solutions Consultant on the IMAGINiT Technologies delivery team, Lance works directly with customers after the sale is complete, helping teams adopt new technology, improve workflows, and survive the realities of implementation. We're talking through onboarding madness, user adoption, training challenges, field vs. office dynamics, and what actually makes software successful once the contracts are signed...because selling/purchasing software is one thing - getting people to actually use it is another.

    Episode 3: You like Procore & I like Forma (Can we still be friends?)

    In this week's episode, we’re jumping into one of construction tech’s biggest realities: most companies aren’t operating in just one platform anymore. This one is all about integrations, disconnectedworkflows, duplicate data entry, and the very real struggle of getting systems to actually communicate with each other. We’re also talking about Pulse, IMAGINIT’s proprietary middleware solution designed to help bridge the gap between platforms like Procore and Autodesk Forma Build, reducing operational chaos and helping teams spend less time reconciling data and more time building. From “human middleware” stories to spreadsheet archaeology and software relationship counseling, this episode keeps it honest, relatable, and just chaotic enough to feel familiar, because Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V is not an integration strategy.

    Episode 2: Does discovery hurt? (Discovery…10/10 pain, or huge gain?)

    This week, we dive into one of our favorite topics — discovery. Why it matters, what it actually looks like in practice, and why skipping it almost always comes back to bite you. We get into what it really means to find the right solution for your business and why most software problems are really just communication problems wearing a technology costume. If you've ever said "we just make it work," this one's for you. Have an idea of a topic or want to be a guest? Write to us at: bricksandchicks@rand.com New episodes weekly.

    Episode 1: You bought the software...now what?

    In this episode, we cover what actually happens after a construction company pulls the trigger on a new platform, why skipping implementation and training is basically lighting your investment on fire, and what a good rollout actually looks like. Buying the software is the easy part. Using it well? That's where the real work starts. Have an idea of a topic or want to be a guest?

    Intro: Welcome to Bricks & Chicks (....someone gave us microphones)

    Two women in construction tech. One industry full of chaos. And somehow… microphones.   Bricks & Chicks is where construction, technology, implementation madness, industry hot takes, and jobsite reality all collide. Smart, funny, slightly unhinged conversations from people actually living it.
