    From Paper to Platform: How Stratus is Digitalizing MEP Fabrication

    In this episode of The Construction Revolution Podcast, we're joined by Jake Olsen, CEO of Stratus. Jake shares how his career spanning structural engineering, construction tech at DeWalt, and hands-on time inside a mechanical contractor's fab shop led him to take the helm at Stratus, an operating system for MEP contractors that digitizes the full workflow from BIM through fabrication, logistics, and field installation.  We discuss why most MEP contractors are still running on PDFs, spreadsheets, and color-coded stickers, how Stratus connects live model data directly to the fab shop floor, and what Jake's State of MEP report revealed about the growing gap between contractors who have embraced fabrication and those who haven't.  The conversation explores how off-site prefabrication is helping contractors solve the labor shortage, why the most competitive MEP contractors are starting to run their businesses more like manufacturers, and how going fully digital gives contractors the real-time data they need to actually improve their operations over time.

    How Bridgit is Solving Construction's Workforce Problem

    In this episode of The Construction Revolution Podcast, we're joined by Mallorie Brodie, CEO and Co-Founder of Bridgit. Mallorie co-founded Bridgit in 2012 and has built it into the go-to workforce planning platform for general contractors across North America and beyond.  We discuss how contractors have traditionally managed their workforce, from manually moving people across whiteboards, to operating in regional silos with no visibility across their full organization. Whereas Bridgit helps construction firms schedule the right people to the right projects at the right time. Mallorie explains why the industry's workforce challenge is really a skills problem rather than a headcount problem, and why that distinction changes how contractors should be planning.  The conversation explores what contractors need to do differently as experienced project managers and superintendents near retirement, how technology adoption in construction has shifted from resistance to genuine excitement, and what the firms pulling ahead of the industry have in common when it comes to planning their people.

    AI-Driven Generative Design for Building Systems

    In this episode of The Construction Revolution Podcast, we’re joined by Francesco "Frio" Iorio, Co-Founder and CEO of Augmenta. Frio shares how his decades of work pioneering generative design and computational science at IBM Research and Autodesk led to the creation of Augmenta, an AI platform that takes high-level design intent from engineers and architects and translates it into fully constructible 3D designs for the critical systems inside buildings, starting with electrical.  We discuss why traditional BIM modeling remains slow, manual, and dependent on a shrinking pool of specialized experts, how Augmenta acts as a virtual BIM design team behind every contractor's screen, and the synthetic data approach inspired by self-driving cars that made training spatial AI possible despite there being "no Wikipedia of buildings."  The conversation explores how AI is extending the reach of engineering and BIM teams rather than replacing them, helping reduce waste and rework caused by design errors, unlocking what-if scenarios and optionality that were previously cost-prohibitive, and laying the foundation for AI-assisted design of whole buildings as Augmenta expands from electrical into mechanical, plumbing, and HVAC performance.

    How AI and Computer Vision Are Changing Construction Monitoring

    In this episode of The Construction Revolution Podcast, we’re joined by N K Chaitanya, Co-Founder and CEO of Track3D. N K shares how his background in computer vision, AI, and robotics led to the creation of Track3D, a reality intelligence platform designed to automate construction progress monitoring. We discuss why progress tracking remains largely manual across job sites, the challenges this creates for accuracy and coordination, and how Track3D delivers real-time visibility into what work is completed, where it is completed, and whether it is done correctly. The conversation explores how reality intelligence is reducing rework, improving communication between contractors, trades, and owners, and laying the foundation for more predictable, data-driven project delivery across the construction lifecycle.

    The Importance of Optimizing Concrete with Real-Time Aggregate Data

    In this episode of Building Better with AI, host Sarah McGuire welcomes Mark Masotti, CEO and Co-Founder of alterBiota, for a deep dive into how real-time aggregate data is changing the way concrete is optimized. Together, they explore why aggregates, despite making up 70–80% of concrete, have long been overlooked in quality control and optimization strategies, and how that gap limits the full potential of AI in ready-mix operations. The conversation covers the shift from traditional sieve testing to digital aggregate imaging through alterBiota’s digitalAggregate technology, the role of standardization in driving industry-wide adoption, and how practical, ROI-driven sustainability can accelerate decarbonization without adding risk. They also discuss how real-time aggregate data strengthens AI-powered platforms like Giatec SmartMix, enabling more precise, data-driven decisions at the batch level. From enabling real-time optimization to improving confidence in material changes, Mark shares why precision is the concrete vision, and how better data at the source is paving the way for smarter, more resilient concrete production.

    Taking Control of Construction Schedules

    In this episode of The Construction Revolution Podcast, we’re joined by Mike Pink, CEO of SmartPM Technologies. Mike shares insights from two decades of consulting experience, explaining why schedule mismanagement is one of the industry’s most persistent challenges and how SmartPM brings clarity, accountability, and early risk detection through AI-driven analysis. We explore how SmartPM enhances visibility and understanding of the construction schedule to help contractors and owners understand project performance, prevent delays, and make better decisions throughout the construction lifecycle.

    From Bid to Build: Contract Intelligence for Construction

    In Giatec’s episode of The Construction Revolution Podcast, we’re joined by Josh Levy, CEO from Document Crunch. We explore how contract intelligence helps contractors and trade partners simplify complex documents, standardize risk reviews, and make faster decisions from bid through preconstruction and active construction.  Josh explains why inconsistent documents and weak administration drive most disputes, and how AI can deliver real-time guidance to field teams to prevent issues before they escalate. We also discuss Document Crunch’s growing dataset, recent gains in specification analysis, and a roadmap toward proactive, transparent risk management that strengthens relationships across owners, GCs, trades, designers, and insurers.

    How Pathways AI and Giatec are Decarbonizing Concrete

    In this episode of the Construction Revolution Podcast, Giatec CEO and co-founder Pouria Ghods speaks with Leise Sandeman, CEO and co-founder of Pathways AI. Together, they explore how Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) are evolving from compliance tools into powerful drivers of decarbonization and competitive advantage. Leise shares insights on automating EPD generation, integrating sustainability into workflows, and how procurement policies are reshaping the ready-mix landscape. The discussion also covers barriers to adoption, the role of AI in verification, and what success in sustainable construction could look like within the next five years.
