"Construction scheduling is completely broken. We're still using PDF files and sticky notes to manage million-dollar projects."
In today's episode of Bricks & Bytes, we had Patrick Hennessy from Harkins Builders and we got to learn about why traditional project management tools are failing the construction industry, how AI could revolutionize daily site operations, and the brutal truth about construction tech pricing... and many more!
Patrick runs planning and analytics for a $600M general contractor and shares unfiltered insights from the trenches of construction technology adoption.
Tune in to find out about:
✅ Why Primavera P6 and traditional scheduling software creates more problems than it solves
✅ How AI daily briefs could replace morning huddles and transform job site management
✅ The real reason construction software pricing is getting out of control and what contractors should demand
✅ Why construction tech websites are completely useless and how startups are losing millions in delayed sales cycles
Listen now on Spotify and get the inside perspective on where construction technology is actually heading from someone who evaluates and implements it every day.
