אודות פרק זה
In mission-critical facilities like data centers and 911 call centers, the word "value engineering" rarely comes up — and for good reason. This episode explores why sophisticated clients prioritize time and reliability over marginal savings, the massive labor shortage driven by data center and stadium construction, and why trying to shave 10% off a project today often costs you far more in delays and lost production. We also cover where VE actually makes sense (lighting brands) and where it doesn't (redundancy and gear selection for mission-critical builds).

Material costs are climbing, lead times are stretching (medium voltage cable jumped from 30 to 52 weeks), and data centers are reshaping the labor market. Dillon gives a blunt market update on why waiting to build will cost you more, then pivots to a sharp critique of AI doomerism and NIMBYism aro…
Fifteen years ago, $65K went a long way. Today, that same lifestyle costs $85K+. Dillon breaks down how housing, groceries, and fuel have shifted pay expectations, why minimum wage hikes led to self-serve kiosks, and what the rising cost of living means for hiring in engineering and construction.
A quick-hit episode exploring how tribal lands in the West could become the fast lane for data center construction. With tribal sovereignty bypassing lengthy permitting processes and ROI timelines measured in months, Dillon lays out why tribes are uniquely positioned to capitalize on the data cent…
