Description

On this episode of The ConTech Exec Podcast, we sit down with Josh Whisenant, founder of Roger, to discuss his journey into the construction industry and how it inspired him to revolutionize construction technology.

From taking a Stanford class that sparked his interest in the field to gaining hands-on experience with a commercial contractor in Salt Lake City, Josh shares how these experiences laid the foundation for Roger.

We dive into the transformative role AI is poised to play in construction over the next 50 years,

• from automating risk management
• to streamlining administrative tasks—
• pushing general contractors to redefine their value.

Josh explains Roger’s unique approach of blending consulting services with AI-driven solutions to tackle critical tasks like scope of work development, contract writing, and risk management.

We also explore the resistance

• to adopting new technology in construction.

• the increasing acceptance of platforms like Procore,
• and the challenges of bridging the gap between the construction and tech worlds.

Whether you're a seasoned industry professional or just curious about the future of ConTech, this episode offers a fascinating look at how AI and innovative thinking are reshaping the industry.
