The construction sector, often considered traditional, is witnessing a global push towards embracing more technology. Exciting to explore how we can catalyze this transformation for a sustainable future! #Innovation #Sustainability #Technology #ConstructionTech 🏗️✨" Special shout out to Imad Itani 🙌

What does the future of #PropTech look like? 🔮 Overall, the outlook isn't as bleak as some may fear, as many experts predict that the demand for technological innovation will override 2024's biggest obstacles.

Brilliant Day 1 here in Leeds at #UKREIIF2024- so much going on, the place is bustling with activity and energy. Lots of interesting & relevant conversations with friends old and new. The day kicked off with a panel discussion about #smartbuildings and #collaboration - thought provoking and relevant with so much focus on #netzero and the imperative to realise targets and objectives. Great to hear the asset managers perspective from Neelum Choudhury, while Jo Wright and Daniel Cope shared their perspectives as architect and occupier, with Jamie Hills highlighting the developers view. Key issues noted were:- (1) its early days, and the technology is continuously evolving (2) feedback and continuous learning is vital (3) the rate and pace of change makes designing and future proofing buildings ever more challenging (4) collaboration is key #ReviveThrive #ESG #NetZero

Amidst the winds of change, be the architect of innovation. Where some see obstacles, build windmills that propel you towards success and growth. #EmbraceTheWindsofChange #BuildWindmillsNotWalls #AdaptAndThrive #EmbraceOpportunity #BeTheChangeYouSeek #RideTheWindsOfChange #BillCuneo

🌿 Throwback to a Sustainability Discussion: What Does "Going Green" Really Mean? Tommy Linstroth of Green Badger says: "Buildings are getting more sustainable because contractors and owners are getting involved with sustainability earlier in the project." In this enlightening episode, delve into the complexities of sustainability in construction. Explore the journey of creating a successful startup, challenges in adopting sustainable practices, changing perceptions, and the role of automation in green processes.

If you're a building or construction tech founder, here's why you should join me and my co-panelists, Allison Myers, Joselyn Lai, Nick M. at BuiltWorlds in San Francisco on April 3rd... - Learn about worldwide emerging trends in building and construction tech and meet with frontline leaders across all subsectors; - Watch cool robots build giant towers in Japan; - Identify opportunities in a myriad of technical, bureaucratic, and regulatory challenges in markets that are hungry for innovation; - Meet funders with invaluable GTM insights at scale, that are backed by the worlds largest property developers and materials manufacturers; - Did I mention the robots? - Get outside and do something new alongside inspiring individuals who are eager to meet and help you! I attended this for the first time (on a whim) last year and ended up connecting with BuiltWorlds' founder (the incredible Matthew Gray), securing a spot on 2 subsequent panel events, and helping 2 other founders get funded by investors that I met <-- that last one was particularly satisfying! Might just give you that creative boost that you have been craving! #buildingtech #contech #venture #construction #startups #SanFrancisco #events #robotics #proptech

Just a few days until RETCON - Real Estate Technology Conference! I'm excited to be taking the stage with this group to discuss the successes and challenges facing sustainability in commercial real estate (#CRE). Join us for an engaging discussion on how #technology is transforming the industry and driving #sustainability forward. Looking forward to seeing you there! #BuildingGreen

It's always great to 'meet" and chat with my connections on linkedin! I had a great conversation with Becky Sigman on transformation in the built environment - I think we were both on the same page, that there seems to be a piece of the pie missing, perhaps more than a business case, right at the beginning for AEC companies wanting to successfully innovate - whether that's innovation via the process or technology. Also, had a great conversation this week with Xavier JAFFRAY, on modular build - I was really interested in his "pop-up modular factories" in France, but even more so than that, that he provides training for working in the factory. I always felt that that was part of the issue with the slow adoption of modular build - lack of training, but maybe not. I look forward to future ventures with them both! #aec #contech #builtenvironment #digitaltransformation #modular
