S02 E12 – Procore’s DJ Phipps and Join’s Jeff Sample on why tech is an accelerant for both good and bad Jun 12, 2023

Tech can act as an accelerant in your company’s growth, but it can also amplify your problems instead of solving them.

S02 E11 – Consigli’s Anthony Chiaradonna and CPCoalition's Nathan C. Wood on why consistent data can define the success of your project May 30, 2023

Wood, founder of CPCoalition, discussed the power of good and consistent data, and why having all of your data in one easy-to-reach place can define the success of your tech tools.

S02 E10 – XL Construction’s Trevor Johnston and Vladislav Grishaev on finding tech partners that empower your teams May 15, 2023

Are you getting the most out of your technology providers? Are they treating you like a true partner, or just another customer?

While a tech vendor can provide you with the tools, a true technology partner can ensure that you onboard and use those tools successfully.

In episode 10 of the Built Different Podcast, we spoke with Trevor Johnston, director of construction technology and Vladislav Grishaev, construction technology project manager, from XL Construction on the value of tech partnerships.

S02 E09 – Mike Rascona and ICWSAT’s Nichole Carter on turning the most tech-averse builders into tech experts May 01, 2023

If end-user incentive isn’t part of the equation when you buy tech, then you’re buying the wrong tech…

Usage will define the failure or success of a tool, no matter how effective it may seem to be – which is why adoption should be your focus before pulling the trigger on a new solution.

In the latest episode of Built Different, we sat down with Mike Rascona, technology director at E-J Electric Installation Co., and Nichole Carter, certified Procore consultant at ICWSTAT, to discuss why not even the flashiest of tools guarantee success and how to get buy-in from tech-aderse builders.

For over a century, E-J Electric Installation Co. has delivered high-quality electrical and lighting installations nationwide to a variety of projects ranging from ad-hoc maintenance calls to projects valued at well over $300 million.

It’s easy to get distracted by shiny new tools on the market…

But to drive the best outcomes for your project, you need to first focus on the problem – and only then ask yourself whether the answer is a new tool, a better process or both.

In the latest episode of Built Different, co-hosts Grant Hagen and Brian Vizarreta sit down with Jesse Jones, Emerging Technologies Manager at Swinerton, and Matt Daly, General Manager at DroneDeploy, to discuss how to innovate from the ground up and why a problem-centric approach will help you find the best solution for your job.
