We explore the value of dedicated tech resources for getting real results on the jobsite and focus on the problem-solving tools that deliver instead of overpromising. Plus, learn how innovations like drones and BIM have become the new industry standards you can't build without.

Many construction teams feel overwhelmed by the constant stream of new construction tech. We cut through the noise with seasoned construction pros, Jeff Forbes (Regional Director, Beck Group) and Paul Krauss (General Superintendent, Beck Group). They share the real-world tools they swear by and how these technologies make a tangible impact on jobsites.

Get ready to discover field-proven solutions that address common construction pain points. Learn how modeling software empowers you to identify and resolve clashes before construction begins, saving you time, money, and rework.

Too often, more tech means more headaches – a pile of tools that slow you down instead of boosting productivity. In this episode of Built Different, we explore how to streamline your tech stack and find solutions that make a real impact.

Join seasoned construction veterans Vice President, Josh Carson and superintendent, Mike Kuzenski from Moss and Associates as they share their strategies for overcoming tech fatigue and choosing tools that truly empower your team.
