If your team spends half the day scrolling and searching, that’s not work – that’s waste. On this episode of the Built Different Podcast, we talk about why nobody should have to click more than twice to get the info they need. The real ROI isn’t always cost savings. Sometimes it’s quality of life: less stress, smoother workflows and a jobsite that just runs cleaner. 🎧 Listen in: https://lnkd.in/dJekH2Jf #construction #fieldfirst #projectmanagement #jobsiteefficiency Felipe Serrano, CHC, DBIA Brasfield & Gorrie, LLC

What does it take to deliver one of the UK’s most complex data centers? For Laing O'Rourke at the Equinix LD14 project in Slough, the answer wasn’t more manpower — it was better data. 📊 By embracing digital tools, the team gained real-time visibility, full traceability and the ability to make smarter, faster calls on site. The result? A build that’s safer, sharper and truly built different.

Manual dig boards don’t prevent strikes. Field-ready data does. At DPR Construction’s UCF College of Nursing project, the team flipped the script on underground utility risk. Using DroneDeploy, they turned daily drone flights into a living digital dig board—mapped, marked, and available to anyone with a phone. ✅ No more guesswork ✅ No more blind digs ✅ Field teams make safer, faster decisions Catch more stories like this one on DroneDeploy Insider: https://lnkd.in/gGXczUbc #UndergroundUtilities #RealityCapture #DPRConstruction #DroneDeploy #ConstructionSafety #FieldTech

If your tech slows down the field, it’s not innovation — it’s overhead. At AGC 2025, Cheri Hanes, CRIS (AXA XL) and Roy Malcolm (DPR Construction) cut through the noise. Most construction tech adds complexity — more clicks, more steps and more resistance from the field. 🎧 Listen in: https://lnkd.in/gWHBiVbU #constructiontech #VDC #AXAXL #DPRConstruction #fieldfirst

PCL Construction isn’t experimenting with contech – they’re operationalizing it. At Halawa View Apartments in Hawaii, the PCL team shows how drone data isn’t just a nice-to-have. It’s part of the daily workflow – used for crane planning, underground issue resolution, milestone capture and keeping subcontractors accountable before walls go up. What used to be a “scan when you can” approach is now fully integrated. Every flight informs layout, logistics and QA.

Often times, jobsite data can get buried before it becomes useful. Embedded AI changes that. In this Built Different clip, Josh Kanner from Oracle Construction and Engineering breaks down how AI scans weekly project data to flag critical risks – like schedule slips, trade stacking, or safety gaps – before they cost you. It’s not about more dashboards. It’s about fewer problems. 🎧 Episode 45 with Josh Kanner: https://lnkd.in/gDbGJX58 #ConstructionTech #AIinConstruction #ProactiveOps #JobsiteData

Three schools. Twelve months. Zero time to chase answers. Michael Speed and the Built Environs team are delivering three education projects in Melbourne’s west — all fast-tracked on a 12-month schedule. With DroneDeploy, they capture daily site progress, resolve questions in seconds and avoid rework before it’s buried behind concrete or drywall. ▶️ See how unified reality capture keeps subs accountable and the schedule on track: https://lnkd.in/gwG4rBqp #sitevisit #realitycapture #construction #constructiontech

When a GC’s progress photos prevent a lawsuit, the value of reality capture becomes crystal clear. In the latest Built Different episode, Neil Dick from Blue Water Drones shares how “just photos and videos” evolve into a critical safety net: ✔️ Data that’s ready to use the moment it’s captured ✔️ Easy to share across teams and stakeholders ✔️ Reliable when the stakes are highest Once it solves a major headache, adopting it is a no-brainer. 🎙 Watch the conversation with Neil: https://lnkd.in/g-vw5UUq #builtdifferent #podcast #constructionpodcast #constructiontech
