In this episode of The ConTech Exec Podcast, host Robert Zimmerman sits down with Mike Powers, Founder & CEO of BuildVision, to dig into one of construction’s biggest black holes: the procurement process.
From chillers and switchgear to financing and factory capacity, Mike breaks down how AI and structured data are helping contractors, OEMs, and suppliers finally see what’s really happening in the supply chain.
We talk about:
Why lead times are a terrible indicator of reality
How $830 billion gets tied up in construction finance
What “verticalizing the supply chain” really means
How BuildVision turns chaos into capacity planning
The role of AI in cleaning unstructured construction data
If you’ve ever wondered why you’re still waiting on equipment that was “in stock” six months ago, this episode is your therapy session.
