One more time for the people in the back! ?? Outbuild has secured $11M in Series A Funding. This is not a drill! Why are we so excited and what does this mean?

?? Why is internal tech adoption still a major hurdle in the AEC industry? Despite groundbreaking advancements, achieving true buy-in for new technology from both staff and leadership remains a significant challenge. Without full alignment, even the most transformative tools can fall short of their potential. I’ll be joining Joshua Weyand (Suffolk Construction) and Aaron Anderson (Swinerton) in a BuiltWorlds conversation where we’ll share what has worked—and what hasn’t—as we continue finding the best path to adopt technology effectively in our industry. This is a great chance to explore real-world insights and strategies for creating lasting change. ?? Join us live on November 21, 2024, from 1:30 PM - 3:00 PM CT to ask questions and engage in this conversation!

Hamzah Shanbari, who serves as director of innovation for The Haskell Company as well as for their corporate accelerator, Dysruptek—and recently published 'Paperless Builders,' a book covering his experience in construction tech and how he sees the industry evolving—lives and breathes innovation. We were lucky enough to sit down with him at our recent Construction Tech Conference to learn a little bit more about his roles and what it means to effectively innovate. "The most important aspect of an innovation team that drives collaboration is openness," Shanbari said. "It's creating that culture that it's okay to share thoughts, it's okay to present ideas ... There is no such thing is that's a dumb idea or that's not a good idea. All ideas are good ideas, but what do you do with them and how do you execute on them is the key."
