Are you drowning in tech jargon and empty promises?
In this episode, we show you how you can cut through the hype and find the tech that REALLY works.
Austin Lay (Reality Capture Technologies Manager) and Jon Ferguson (Vice President) from Layton Construction share how construction tech has changed – and why your workers are now the ones asking for the latest tools. We explore the value of dedicated tech resources for getting real results on the jobsite and focus on the problem-solving tools that deliver instead of overpromising. Plus, learn how innovations like drones and BIM have become the new industry standards you can't build without.
Tired of tech that creates more headaches than solutions?
Many construction teams feel overwhelmed by the constant stream of new construction tech. We cut through the noise with seasoned construction pros, Jeff Forbes (Regional Director, Beck Group) and Paul Krauss (General Superintendent, Beck Group). They share the real-world tools they swear by and how these technologies make a tangible impact on jobsites.
Get ready to discover field-proven solutions that address common construction pain points. Learn how modeling software empowers you to identify and resolve clashes before construction begins, saving you time, money, and rework.
Too often, more tech means more headaches – a pile of tools that slow you down instead of boosting productivity. In this episode of Built Different, we explore how to streamline your tech stack and find solutions that make a real impact.
Join seasoned construction veterans Vice President, Josh Carson and superintendent, Mike Kuzenski from Moss and Associates as they share their strategies for overcoming tech fatigue and choosing tools that truly empower your team.
We'll discuss their field-tested tech wins, how they secure executive buy-in for innovation, and why strong relationships remain the foundation of successful projects, even in our tech-driven world.
The Built Different podcast is back and this season we're headed to the field 🏗️
To kick off the season, host Grant Hagen sits down with former superintendent and new co-host Adam Della Monica. In this episode the two share stories from the field.
This season, we're traveling the country to meet the builders making incredible projects happen. Want to follow along? Subscribe now!
More tech doesn’t always mean better outcomes, in fact, having a large suite of point-solutions can often slow you down and negatively impact builder quality of life.
In this episode of Built Different, we met with the innovative leaders at Ryan Companies, vice president of field ops, Josh Bergstrom, and director of IT applications, Lucas Manos. During this conversation, we explored Ryan Companies’ tech evaluation process and the parameters they use to overcome tech fatigue by finding and cutting the solutions that aren’t solving anything. We also took a look at some of their big tech wins from the field and how Ryan Companies uses the results from those wins to achieve executive buy-in.
Ryan Companies is a national builder that utilizes cutting-edge construction technology to deliver a distinct and meaningful impact on every project, blending innovation with client-focused solutions. This approach ensures enhanced experiences, vibrant communities, and superior, safe buildings.
To get the most out of your technology you have to do more than just use it, you have to build a culture around that technology that empowers innovation.
In this episode of Built Different, we met with the innovative leaders at DPR construction, director of strategic investments and partnerships, Kaushal Diwan, and west coast innovation lead, Josh DeStefano. During this conversation, we explored the impact of DPR's innovative community and how freeing up builders at the beginning of a project can help inspire executive leadership buy-in on the tools that work. We also explored the biggest misconceptions around technology and how you can identify the changemakers at your organization.
DPR Construction stands as an innovative, self-executing general contractor and construction management firm, expertly navigating the intricacies of sustainable, technologically advanced projects across various sectors. The scope of DPR’s work spans from extensive new builds to minor tenant enhancements and distinctive projects.

In this episode of Built Different, we flew over to Nashville Tennessee, to visit Turner Construction to see how they’ve ingrained technology into every step of their workflow. During our visit, we got the opportunity to chat with VDC regional manager, Gary Chapman and senior VDC manager Cole Milberger all about how they win more work by building trust both internally and externally. During the conversation, we got deep into how Turner uses digital representations of their sites and why you need to get tech involved at the ground floor to see the best results.
Turner is the largest domestic contractor in the United States, completing $12 billion of construction on 1,500 projects each year.
