AI wars, Trimble’s big swing, and the $299B payment black hole.
In this week’s Bricks, Bucks & Bytes episode:
🐅 PlanGrid’s founders return with TigerEye, and they’re aiming straight at construction AI.
📸 Trimble drops a reality-capture bomb and launches “Agentic AI” across their platform.
💸 $299B is evaporating from construction thanks to slow payments (yes… billion).
🧱 NxLite raises $9.2M to reinvent energy-efficient windows with nanotech.
📐 Takeoff AI gets $30.5M, but the industry still doesn’t trust automated quantities.
But that’s not all:
-
Dustin walks through why takeoff AI keeps failing.
-
Martin explains why drawings are fundamentally broken.
-
Will from Rabbet reveals how slow payments silently kill contractors.
-
And we preview the Suffolk Boost 6 cohort
🎧 Listen now for:
-
Why TigerEye’s “no-bullshit AI for construction” could change the landscape overnight
-
The Trimble agent push and why Dustin thinks most BigCo AI is “probably trash”
-
The real physics behind energy-control coatings (and why nanotech matters)
-
Which takeoff problems AI still can’t solve (hint: inconsistent drawings)
-
The math behind the $299B payment drain and why owners actually lose money by paying slow
