Yesterday at the BuiltWorlds Toronto Summit, Building Digital invited guests to voice their opinion on the biggest barriers holding back our industry from adopting tech. The engagement board was a hit! It ignited some interestingly varied conversations between clients, vendors, and contractors, but the largest consensus fell within "Poor Deployment or Support" and "Lack of Confidence in Quality." We've all faced challenges with technology, but—like construction—it doesn't have to be a black box. These challenges CAN be addressed and SHOULD be serviced! So, what do YOU think is holding back ConTech Adoption in #Construction?

Today, Building Digital hosted our first-ever booth at the BuiltWorlds Toronto Summit! Very proud to be here talking with so many of our industry allies, all working from different angles to help improve the industry in our own way.   Many thanks to Rory Smith and Nicole Melamed for introducing the industry, friends old and new, to the newest #ConTech #Consultant.   Big shout out to BuiltWorlds, whose growing voice in the conversation of technology adoption across #AEC is helping to gather the most innovative voices into the same rooms, all across the world!   Matthew Gray James F.

With a daily output of about 2.5 quintillion bytes of data, construction firms are sitting on a data goldmine. This data has the power to boost efficiency, slash costs, and guide smarter decision-making. But the real question is: Are you leveraging this data to its greatest potential? According to recent findings, industry professionals are spending an upwards of 11 hours weekly just searching for data. Perhaps it’s time for a shift. Stop chasing one-off data tools and start thinking about your data infrastructure. Build an ecosystem where your teams can spend their time focusing on actionable outcomes and what they do best—building. What steps is your company taking to ensure your data doesn't just accumulate dust, but actively drives your future success? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below. #Construction #ConTech #Efficiency #FutureBuilding #Data #Analytics

Have you thought about the implications of using AI like ChatGPT in architectural practice? Jason D'Altroy and Rory Smith discuss the excitement and concerns, and why verifying AI-generated building codes is crucial.

Building Digital will be making our first official booth appearance at BuiltWorlds's first Canadian Summit, with Rory Smith and Nicole Melamed hosting. Stop by for a chat, grab some swag, and learn about how Building Digital's #AEC-specific #TechnologyConsulting backed by decades of work with construction teams on... #SoftwareDevelopment, #DataInfrastructure, #RealityCapture, and #Cybersecurity. We'll see you on the floor in Toronto on September 10th!

We're excited to share that Sina Karimi, our R&D team lead and robotics expert, recently joined the #BuilttoCode podcast, hosted by Rory Smith, Marketing Manager at Building Digital. In a conversation with guest Ryan Sutton, General Superintendent at EllisDon, Sina discussed the evolving role of robotics in the construction industry and its transformative potential. With the ongoing labour shortage and the increasing demand for new infrastructure, Pomerleau is committed to rethinking construction jobs. By embracing cutting-edge technology, including robotics, we're paving the way for a future where construction is not only more productive but also more sustainable and safe. Tune in to the podcast to hear Sina’s thoughts on how robotics can revolutionize our industry. 👉 https://lnkd.in/gDz58-pw

Our #BuiltToCode podcast powers on! Our latest episode features another candid conversation with construction experts, this time we talk about #robotics and how they're shaping the future of our industry. - Who is being trained to use them?   - Should they be treated like tools or teammates?   - How is robot selection going to affect project planning? And, the questions we keeping coming back to on Built to Code... - What is the best possible future here? How do we build it? A big thanks to Ryan Sutton, General Superintendent at EllisDon, and Sina Karimi, Lead R&D at Pomerleau’s aXLabs Innovations, for sitting down with our host Rory Smith to talk it all out. After this conversation one thing is clear: robots are here and they aren’t going away. The #AECO industry is either going to soften their landing or deal with piece-meal deployment. https://lnkd.in/gDz58-pw #AEC #Robots #Construction #ConTech #Podcast
