Description

In this episode, Dale speaks with Jason Lancini about why construction software sucks!

Jason chooses a very provocative title to make his case for user-centric software development in construction project management.

Jason is COO and leads the product team and operations at Aphex. As a former construction project manager and engineer, and a former, former construction labourer he is passionate about building construction software that is actually great to use for the end user.

The main topics we discussed on the podcast were as follows:

• Software should be able to help us churn information faster, pull information together quicker and turning data into meaningful information that can be used to make decisions
• Software is usually procured top down which means it is mandated on end users rather than being tailored to their needs
• The best time to try new software is at the start of a project when the procedural documents are being written
• Planning software may have the official project plan but it may not have all the unofficial plans e.g. the engineering lookahead. Consider if you are seeing the full picture
• Augmented Reality / Virtual Reality is more likely to be adopted on consumer products before it is used on construction products

Tune in next time when we’re joined by Alan Mosca to discuss whether AI & Machine Learning really makes a difference?
