“We reacted too late to the labor shortage. Now we need to work smarter – it has to happen.”
In today’s episode of Bricks & Bytes, we had Tyler Campbell, host of Construction Brothers Podcast, and we got to learn about why construction tech keeps failing, the reality behind the $13 trillion industry myth, and how major projects still run on Excel spreadsheets… and many more!
Tyler shared eye-opening insights from his journey building FieldProof and interviewing hundreds of industry leaders.
Tune in to find out about:
✅ Why RFIs have become weapons for project delays
✅ The real reason construction apps fail to get field adoption
✅ How a £100 million project runs entirely on Excel
✅ Why robotics and AI agents are the only path forward
The construction industry is more fragmented than we think. Time to face the hard truths about where we’re heading.
Watch now on Youtube to hear the full conversation about construction’s biggest challenges and what comes next.
