Join Sparky’s Soapbox, a podcast where two technology nerds, Sean Lazarian and Jared Christman, dive into the technology enigma of construction technology!
Whether you're CAD monkey, a BIMpanzee, an electrician in the field cussing the previous 2, or a project manager trying to wrangle all the above, we're here to plug you into the latest and greatest trends that are transforming the construction industry. From construction technology workflows, to cost impact of the technology on projects , we're uncovering innovations that are reshaping how work gets done from the field to the office.
But hey, it's not all about contract documents and material billing! We'll be talking about our failures, what we learned from them and how we adapted to turn them into successes (or threw in the trash). We will absolutely be covering misadventures with the gadgets, because sometimes failures are just way to funny not to relive.
So, if you're wondering how construction technology is having positive impacts in field-to-office workflows, or you are just interested in the trending technology that is inevitably coming, join us bi-monthly podcast!
