    Episode 68 - How You Turn Jobs into Careers feat. Antonio Contegiacomo

    The real competitive advantage in construction isn’t technology, contracts, or delivery models. It’s people. It's highly competent people that enjoy and experiences meaning in the work they do everyday.  In this episode Elia is joined by Antonio, Director at KOSMOS, to a conversation about why he joined KOSMOS and how construction companies can stop offering “jobs” and start building careers – and why that shift can be business critical.

    Episode 67 - The Dangerous Power of Data in Construction feat. Sara Mehrabi

    Talking about data in construction might sound like a technicality reserved for IT departments. But when you look at how projects are actually run—the "headless chicken" scenarios on-site, the reactive decision-making, and the billions lost to inefficiency—you realize that data isn't just a tool; it is the foundation of the industry’s future - but we have to do it right and remain in control. In today's episode we've invited Sara Mehrabi, Vice President of Data Analytics and Decision Intelligence at COWI. As an engineer by training, Sara has seen firsthand how the industry struggles to bridge the gap between traditional engineering and the rapid evolution of data science. What you'll learn from today's episode of Inventing Construction: - The real reason data is powerful - How to define relevant construction data - The major issue and potential of AI in construction - The risks and responsibility of using data to progress our industry You can also listen to Inventing Construction on these platforms: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2aAxc0iqOe2JJly3jCh9jV?si=8db208888a9a4e4c Apple podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/inventing-construction/id1629403210 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmFqJlVzEa6Lc_7LOTjvac2oTbRRk9HdK We would love for you to continue the conversation with us on LinkedIn: Ross: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ross-griffin-kosmos/ Elia: https://www.linkedin.com/in/eliaarquitectatecnica/ Sara: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drsaramehrabi/ KOSMOS: https://www.linkedin.com/company/kosmos-dk Thanks for listening!

    Episode 66 - Should you learn to code? feat. Christian Kongsgaard

    Starting a conversation about programming in construction might not sound like a recipe for excitement. But give it a minute. When you zoom in on what professional services truly mean in this industry, the endless Excel sheets, the risk of human error, and the sheer amount of admin, you start to see the problem. And with it, the solution. In this episode Ross has a conversation with Christian Kongsgaard about the essential role of coding in the digital progression of the industry. The core question is: Should professionals, from architects and engineers to cost managers and quantity surveyors, learn to code? The answer is yes. It’s not about becoming a software developer, but about adapting to the inevitable change that is reshaping how construction services are bought and delivered. What you'll learn from today's episode of Inventing Construction: - Why is coding important for construction? - Why business models in construction are changing - Coding in construction: where do you start?

    Episode 65 - The 8 steps that will transform construction feat. Paul Bingham

    Talk about transforming construction, and you’ll often get eye-rolls or buzzword fatigue. But listen to those that are the most passionate about this topic, and you’ll find a much deeper story—one of culture, people, missed opportunities, and real, actionable change.  In this episode Ross sat down with Paul Bingham from Smart Connected Buildings and Digital Construction Forum, who shared decades of insight from smart tech, real estate, and digital transformation. It’s not that construction is broken. It’s that it could be much better. And according to Paul, the tools are already here—we just need to use them the right way. What you'll learn from today's episode of Inventing Construction: - What needs to change to obtain true integrated delivery - What is slowing transformation today - Why clients have the key to transforming the industry - Why the next 5 years will change everything You can also listen to Inventing Construction on these platforms: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2aAxc0iqOe2JJly3jCh9jV?si=8db208888a9a4e4c Apple podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/inventing-construction/id1629403210 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmFqJlVzEa6Lc_7LOTjvac2oTbRRk9HdK We would love for you to continue the conversation with us on LinkedIn: Ross: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ross-griffin-kosmos/ Elia: https://www.linkedin.com/in/eliaarquitectatecnica/ Paul: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paulgbingham/ KOSMOS: https://www.linkedin.com/company/kosmos-dk Thanks for listening!

    Episode 64 - The latest on-site innovations feat. Casper Hertz Nielsen

    When most people hear "construction innovation," they picture software teams in office buildings or tech startups far from the dust and noise of real projects. But innovation is happening where the concrete is poured and the cranes swing. And it's not abstract. It's practical, scalable, and saves time and money. In this episode, we've invited on Casper Hertz Nielsen, Process and Innovation Chief at NCC in Denmark, to discuss the very real changes happening on construction sites today. From smarter digital tools to sharper energy tracking, here's how NCC's team is reshaping on-site workflows. What you'll learn from today's episode of Inventing Construction: - Why real innovation starts on site, not in the office - Why a contractor models his building in the virtual world - What are on-site digital information points? - Why you should do construction site logistics in 3D You can also listen to Inventing Construction on these platforms: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2aAxc0iqOe2JJly3jCh9jV?si=8db208888a9a4e4c Apple podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/inventing-construction/id1629403210 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmFqJlVzEa6Lc_7LOTjvac2oTbRRk9HdK We would love for you to continue the conversation with us on LinkedIn: Ross: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ross-griffin-kosmos/ Elia: https://www.linkedin.com/in/eliaarquitectatecnica/ Casper: https://www.linkedin.com/in/casper-hertz-nielsen-4466a825/ KOSMOS: https://www.linkedin.com/company/kosmos-dk Thanks for listening!

    Episode 63 - The hybrid construction profiles (and roles) of the future feat. Aske Strandberg

    When we talk about the future of construction, we often focus on carbon goals, modular design, or project delivery speed. But there’s a quieter crisis growing behind the scenes: we lack the people who both understand construction and speak the language of data, programming, automation, or AI. It’s not just a skills gap. It’s a profile gap. And if we don’t start building bridges between domains, we risk holding back the digital transformation that construction desperately needs. In today's episode, Elia sits down with Aske Strandberg, a professional whose career spans hospitality, construction, and IT. His story is less about job titles and more about mindset, curiosity, creativity, and the courage to shift. Him, and many others, are also behind the AEC Hackathons - now, what is a hackathon, and why is it relevant to this industry challenge? That is today's topic. What you'll learn from today's episode of Inventing Construction: - Why we have to get more construction people into data science - What is a hackathon? - How you can use AI for MEP & BOQs You can also listen to Inventing Construction on these platforms: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2aAxc0iqOe2JJly3jCh9jV?si=8db208888a9a4e4c Apple podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/inventing-construction/id1629403210 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmFqJlVzEa6Lc_7LOTjvac2oTbRRk9HdK You can find the next AEC hackathon at BLOXHUB here: https://billetto.dk/en/e/aec-hackathon-13-copenhagen-billetter-1667093 We would love for you to continue the conversation with us on LinkedIn: Ross: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ross-griffin-kosmos/ Elia: https://www.linkedin.com/in/eliaarquitectatecnica/ Aske: https://www.linkedin.com/in/askestrandberg/ KOSMOS: https://www.linkedin.com/company/kosmos-dk Thanks for listening!

    Episode 62 - How long does it take to digitalise a construction industry? feat. Troels Hoff

    Digitalising an entire industry doesn’t happen overnight. Especially not construction, an industry built on tradition, relationships, and physical outcomes. But when you zoom in on how digitalisation unfolds, policy shifts, public sector influence, tech adoption, and cultural change, you begin to see the slow, deliberate path forward. In this podcast episode, Ross sat down with Troels Hoff, director of digital development at Ramboll and member of DiKon, to unpack that very question. The episode is a realistic yet hopeful look at the timeline, obstacles, and opportunities tied to going digital - from Denmark’s vantage point. What you'll learn from today's episode of Inventing Construction: - How Denmark sped up the digitalisation of construction - The main challenges when digitally transforming construction - The natural evolution of digitally transforming construction - What is the future of digital construction?
