What’s Booming in Construction Right Now

Construction firms are changing how they fix their workflows. Instead of relying on internal champions, IT teams, or software resellers, more AEC companies are bringing in technology consultants who understand how construction actually works.

In this episode of the CADDle Call Podcast, Jim and Rocco break down what is driving the shift and where firms are seeing the most movement. Topics include:

• Why IT departments and software resellers often can’t fix construction workflow problems.
• Why the 70% billable / 30% process improvement hybrid model keeps failing.
• How AI is being oversold as an instant fix for construction management and why it needs experienced oversight.
• Field-to-office file sharing and communication, and why more software rarely solves it.
• Why Procore, Autodesk Forma, and other ERP-level construction management systems go underused
• The sunk cost fallacy and when to replace software you’ve already paid for.
• The reported 20-30% of project losses tied to inefficiency, and what it means for your margins
• Why the process itself, not just the technology, often needs to be rebuilt.

If your team has invested in construction management software and still struggles with delays, rework, and adoption, this episode covers what to look at first.
