I guess I’ve always been passionate about improving productivity in the building industry. Having started out with 6 years of architecture and construction followed by 10 years in design software, I then spent 6 years working with diverse technologies in medical devices, PCB design, Marketing Automation and Translation Automation.
During my career, I’ve been fortunate to lead global teams driving high growth as well as bringing new solutions to market in pre and post-funded Startups, in roles as a Sales/Marketing Leader, Product leader, CEO, Investor and Board Member.
Now back working in the building industry, it’s clear that Developers, Designers, Contractors and Operators have a generational opportunity to leverage already well understood technologies so that ‘Machines’ can augment ‘Teams’ to finally drive the Construction Industry to catch up with the productivity levels of every other industry in the world.
We are nearing the peak of ’Named User Licence’ models used by software companies to charge for their software.
In the future AI automation will mean we need less seats of BIM dedicated to documentation. AI will also mean customers can write their own design tools.
The industry is quickly trying to figure out how to charge customers – tokens, ‘outcomes’ and even taking a % fee of projects.
