The ConTechCrew

A streamlined workflow starts with the right tools. In this episode of The ConTech Crew, host Jeff Sample? sits down with guests James Cosman? and Kendall Bachman? team of VeilSun, Inc.? to explore how low-code platforms are eliminating data silos in construction. Instead of forcing companies to juggle multiple disconnected software tools, these solutions bring everything into one seamless system. Right now, managing a single project often requires 10 to 15 different tools scattering data, slowing decision-making, and creating inefficiencies that cost time and money. Using a low-code platform to integrate tools like Procore, Autodesk, and ERPs into a real time workflow. Companies can finally streamline operations without sacrificing the unique processes that set them apart. Data isn’t just about storage it’s about strategy. Those who fix this now will be the ones leading the future. ?? Listen to the full episode https://lnkd.in/dyZvzWKB #ConstructionTech #LowCode #DigitalTransformation #DataIntegration #Innovation

Stop wasting time on unnecessary code.

BIM failed because no one explained the value. In this episode of The ConTech Crew, hosts Jeff Sample? and Jacob D'Albora, FMP?sit down with Katelyn Sanchez?, Senior VDC Manager at VIATechnik? to break down one of the biggest challenges in BIM adoption communicating its real value. For 20 years, BIM leaders have been shouting about its potential. But frustration sets in when firms don’t see the full picture. The problem? Seeing the value isn’t enough. You have to articulate it. Too many walked away to start their own firms, instead of learning how to bridge the gap between innovation and business impact. Because in the end, no matter how groundbreaking the tech is, if you can’t explain the ROI, no one will invest in it. It’s not just about building better models. It’s about building better conversations. And those who master this skill don’t just push ideas forward-they change the industry. ??

Success starts with asking questions. In this episode of The ConTech Crew, hosts Jeff Sample? and Jacob D'Albora, FMP? sit down with Katelyn Sanchez?, Senior VDC Manager at VIATechnik? to break down what it really takes to succeed in this industry. The biggest skill you can have? Curiosity. Being open to learning new things, asking questions, and engaging with people is what sets top performers apart. Technical skills can be taught, but knowing how to communicate, adapt, and understand different perspectives? That’s what makes someone truly stand out. If you want to grow, step outside your comfort zone. Talk to people. Ask the questions. Learn the things no one else is willing to. Because the real advantage isn’t just what you know it’s how willing you are to learn. And sometimes, the best lessons come from unexpected places. ??

Most GCs don’t even know what they’re asking for. In this episode of The ConTech Crew, hosts Jeff Sample? and Jacob D'Albora, FMP? sit down with Katelyn Sanchez?, Senior VDC Manager at VIATechnik? to break down one of the biggest challenges in construction: getting owners and GCs truly aligned on BIM processes. Owners and GCs often don’t fully understand what they’re asking for even when it’s in the contract. They know they need BIM, they know they need processes-but they don’t always know how to make them work effectively. And that’s where the struggle begins. Without clear workflows, alignment across teams becomes chaotic. Expectations are mismatched, deliverables are unclear, and the entire process slows down. But when an owner fully backs the initiative? That’s when real progress happens. Even with significant challenges, having leadership that supports the effort makes it easier to drive alignment, build relationships, and move projects forward. Success in BIM isn’t just about technology it’s about clarity, buy-in, and collaboration at every level. ??

The hype around AI is real, but so is the progress. In this episode of The ConTech Crew, host Jeff Sample?, co-host Nathan C. Wood?, and guest Hammad Chaudhry?, Vice President of Market Development & Partnerships at Timescapes?, have a real conversation about AI-moving past the hype and into what’s actually happening. AI isn’t just about automation anymore. The technology is evolving, shifting from simple task execution to complex, multi-step decision-making using natural language. The real question isn’t whether AI will change industries-it’s how fast businesses will adapt. Right now, AI’s capabilities might seem limited, but those limits won’t last. The tools we experiment with today are shaping how industries will operate tomorrow. Construction, manufacturing, and finance are all at a turning point. Companies that embrace AI early will lead the shift. The ones that wait? They’ll be playing catch-up in a world that won’t slow down. It’s no longer about if AI will transform work-it’s about who’s bold enough to use it first. The competitive edge is already shifting. ??

30 years of stability is now ripped apart. In this episode of The ConTech Crew, host Jeff Sample?, co-host Nathan C. Wood?, and guest Hammad Chaudhry?, Vice President, Market Development & Partnerships at Timescapes?, talk about the real impact tariffs are having on construction. For 30 years, the U.S. and Canada have built a strong, efficient supply chain, moving materials like steel and aluminum back and forth without major disruption. Now, that certainty is disappearing. Even before policies take effect, just the fear of tariffs is driving up costs. Contractors are scrambling as prices spike, supply chains become unpredictable, and fixed-price contracts become a dangerous gamble. The industry is being forced to rethink how it operates across borders, and there’s no easy solution. This isn’t just about politics or short-term fluctuations. It’s about whether businesses can adapt fast enough to survive the changes. The companies that figure it out first will have the advantage, while others struggle to keep up. ??

Tech adoption takes longer than investors expect. In this episode of The ConTech Crew, host Jeff Sample? and co-host Nathan C. Wood? sit down with Hammad Chaudhry?, Vice President, Market Development & Partnerships at Timescapes? to discuss the shift happening in construction tech. From AI-powered visual documentation to the slow-but-sure evolution of industry adoption, they unpack why we’re at a real tipping point. Innovation never moves as fast as we want. VCs want returns overnight. Asset owners push for efficiency. Tech companies promise transformation. But construction? It operates on trust, proof, and practical application. No project wraps up overnight, and no tech becomes an industry standard without proving its worth on the ground. The key shift happening now is that owners, investors, and contractors are starting to see the value in digital transformation-not just in theory, but in results. AI and computer vision are moving from “nice to have” to essential. Data transparency is no longer a debate-it’s a competitive advantage. The workforce is changing, and new leaders expect smarter ways to build. This isn’t hype. It’s happening. And if you’re still waiting to “see where it goes,” you might already be behind. ??

Rework is the silent killer of construction budgets. In this episode of The ConTech Crew, hosts Jeff Sample? and Jacob D'Albora, FMP? sit down with Matthew Hudelson?, founder of Inertia Systems?, to talk about how outdated construction processes are costing companies millions-and what tech can do to fix it. Every project manager knows the pain. Work gets done, only to be torn apart and redone because of outdated information. It’s a hidden tax on every build-one that’s completely avoidable. The industry is still running on paper maps in a digital world. Paper maps work-until they don’t. They won’t warn you about last-minute design changes, material delays, or costly mistakes waiting to happen. By the time you catch the issue, it’s too late. Imagine a job site where everyone shares real-time data-just like modern GPS. The second an update happens, it’s visible to every team, preventing costly errors before they happen. That’s the shift construction needs. Not more paperwork. Not more silos. Just real-time, object-based collaboration that keeps projects moving forward-without the costly detours. ??

One random inspection can shut you down. In this episode of The ConTech Crew, hosts Jeff Sample? and Jacob D'Albora, FMP? talk with Matthew Hudelson?, founder of Inertia Systems?, about the reality of construction compliance and how technology is reshaping the process. Inspectors don’t give warnings. They walk into million square foot buildings, point at anything, and demand proof. Is it built to code? Are the drawings accurate? Have all issues been tracked and resolved? There’s no second chance either you’re ready, or you’re not. For years, proving compliance was a slow, manual nightmare. But what if every component of a project had instant, location-based verification? What if a single tap could pull up every spec, approval, and inspection record? This isn’t about avoiding penalties it’s about building with confidence. The future of construction is digital, and those who embrace data-driven accountability will move faster, reduce risk, and eliminate costly delays. ??
