Fresco (YC F24) reposted this
Day 2 of BuiltWorlds' Construction Tech Conference in Chicago, with a common thread running through almost every session: 🧩 The problem isn’t lack of tech...it’s lack of usable, connected, and adopted tech. Here are a few standout themes I kept hearing across panels and keynotes: 1. Simplicity wins in the field. The best tech doesn’t demand training. It just works. At Fresco (YC F24), we’re betting big on zero-friction interfaces like SMS that meet people where they are. 2. Precision is the new productivity. Savings come when job sites are proactive, not reactive. That means surfacing the right information at the right time, whether that’s a missed inspection, a spec change, or a near-miss incident. Tools that can anticipate and route these signals early will define the next wave of contech. 3. Consolidation > proliferation. "Point solution fatigue" has come up repeatedly—from project execs to innovation officers. Whether it’s scheduling, safety, or field coordination, folks aren’t looking for more apps; they’re looking for fewer tools that do more and plug into what they already use (Procore, Box, text messages, etc.). Fresco is building the most powerful tool into the simplest interface. Our field-first intelligence captures and routes info seamlessly—so job site teams stay in sync without drowning in docs or dashboards. It's great to see that resonating with conference attendees. #BuiltWorlds #ConstructionTech #FieldOps #Procore #Automation #AIinConstruction #FrescoAI #ProjectDelivery
