    Change orders have long been a necessary evil plaguing every construction project, but they often cause mountains of paperwork, hours of lost productivity, and millions in lost revenue. Cameron Page, Founder & CEO at Clearstory, believes that change orders may not be going anywhere, but the chaos around them can be fixed.   We sat down with Cameron in San Francisco to learn about his unconventional career journey, his perspective on innovation in the AEC space, advice to would-be founders, and how Clearstory is evolving the narrative around change orders.  We discuss:  Common misconceptions with change orders How innovation is affecting change order frequency Types of change orders and where they go wrong How better change order processes strengthen subcontractor relationships The need for new approaches to change orders  Digital Builder is hosted by Eric Thomas of Autodesk.

    Building Community Connections in Construction

    Construction changes lives. It impacts the way we live, the way we interact with our peers, influences our education, and defines our personal relationships. Perhaps few have a more integral understanding than Ron Arana, Managing Partner at Arana Group, who we sat down with in San Francisco to explore how he has intentionally sought local partnerships and projects and those efforts transform not only his community, but his own life, too.   Arana Group is a San Francisco-based general building contractor specializing in public works, tenant improvements, and building upgrades that works with public agencies, nonprofits, and mission-driven organizations across the San Francisco Bay Area.  Here's what we cover:  The importance of local partnerships for workforce development Protecting and preserving purpose-built, local projects once they’re complete Vetting and sourcing subcontractors to meet regulatory requirements The personal impact of a strong community-driven approach  Digital Builder is hosted by Eric Thomas of Autodesk.

    Evaluating the Risks of Using AI in Construction

    This episode was originally published on March 26, 2024. The rise of Gen AI has put organizations in a race to remain competitive. Those who are successfully integrating AI into their processes are seeing improvements in efficiency and output quality, but that rush to adopt AI carries some significant risks, ones that can spell disaster for companies if they are not careful about their approach to using AI.   We've invited May Winfield, Global Director of Commercial, Legal and Digital Risks, at Buro Happold, to reveal what some of the biggest risks are when using Gen AI, what questions organizations should be asking as they adopt AI, and why sometimes the best way to move quickly is to slow down.  We discuss:  Identifying AI’s five biggest risk categories in AEC: reliance, confidentiality, copyright, personal data, and ethics Why copyright and content attribution are such tricky issues with AI The limitations of using in-house AI models trained on proprietary data Why client requests are becoming more informed and specific (and why this is good!)  Assets Mentioned:  Joint Study from the Harvard Business School & Boston Consulting Group  Digital Builder is hosted by Eric Thomas of Autodesk.

    Digital Builder Rewind: Construction’s Mental Health Crisis

    This episode was originally released on March 5, 2024. Content warning – this episode and description has some heavy conversation topics including a discussion on suicidal feelings and mental health struggles.  Construction has a mental health crisis. According to research from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics and the CDC, the rate of suicide among US construction professionals is five times higher than the number deaths caused by workplace and safety-related accidents. Across the industry, companies cannot afford to talk about safety, innovation, and growth without also addressing the need for real, practical, and immediate solutions to the mental health crisis facing our people.     Mark Dyke, Licensed Professional Counselor and Tenured Associate Professor at Ferris State University, joins Eric Thomas during Autodesk University for an intensely practical conversation about the mental health crisis, burnout, and how addressing the mental health crisis can help secure a bright future for the AEC industry. We will share not just why mental health needs to be addressed, but we will also give specific, practical advice for workers to identify and address mental health issues early and effectively.    We discuss:  How to identify internal and external symptoms of burnout How the leadership culture sets the tone for organization-wide mental health How managers at all levels of an organization can support their team members How Millennials have changed the way we talk about mental health Why mental health and emotional wellbeing need to be top priorities to convince the upcoming generation to join Construction.  If you or someone you know are having trouble coping with work-related stress, talk with someone who can help: In the United States, call 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Hotline or visit https://988lifeline.org/. For those living outside the United States, you can find local resources here: https://blog.opencounseling.com/suicide-hotlines/.   Digital Builder is hosted by Eric Thomas of Autodesk.
