Description

"Digital twins are still solving problems we haven't even imagined yet."


In today's episode of Bricks, Bucks & Bytes, we had James Mize from CRB and we got to learn about why pharmaceutical and biotech construction is pushing the boundaries of what's possible with digital twins, the real reason most companies stick with their tech partners, and why information management is construction's biggest unsolved problem... and many more!


Tune in to find out about:

✅ How predictive maintenance using digital twins is saving pharmaceutical companies millions in downtime costs

✅ Why design innovation is racing ahead while construction remains stubbornly manual

✅ The partnership model that actually works when choosing construction technology vendors

✅ Why document control might disappear completely as AI learns where every file should live


Listen now on Spotify and join the conversation about the future of construction technology.
