Weather has always been the wildcard on a construction site, derailing schedules, inflating budgets, and adding that factor of risk the taller you build. Yet, for all the talk of digital twins and predictive analytics, weather risk is still too often treated as an unavoidable act of nature rather than a variable that can be measured, priced, and proactively managed.

In this episode, we’re exploring why weather is moving from “bad luck” to board-level priority, how climate insight can reshape everything from contracts to profit margins, and what it takes for contractors, insurers, and clients to manage the weather rather than work on a day-to-day basis that brings nothing but unpredictability with someone who knows his nimbostratus from his cumulonimbus.

Our guest today is Josh Graham, CEO at EHAB (WeatherWise). Josh leads a platform built specifically for construction to quantify and manage weather risk with science, not guesswork. 

EHAB’s WeatherWise suite maps portfolio exposure, “digitally rehearses” programmes against likely weather windows, and alerts teams to risks before they bite, saving days of manual analysis and giving planners defensible allowances, plugging into construction planning and risk tools to provide granular, project-level insight

Josh is an active voice on weather risk, writing regularly about how data and new insurance models can reduce delays and protect margins as extreme events intensify.
