Ep #32 - Adapt or get left in the dust
In this episode of Built Different, we’re diving into three big questions shaping the industry: Are robotics the next frontier or just another overhyped tool? How do Division 1 specs impact the way projects get built? And what really defines a strong community in construction? Plus, we break down the shift from tech to doctrine – where tools are no longer just job site solutions but written into contracts. Expect real talk, sharp takes and a no-BS look at the forces changing how we build.

Ep #31: Is the grass greener?
In this episode of Built Different, we dive into career transitions—what makes people stay in construction, what pushes them to explore new opportunities, and whether the grass is really greener on the other side. From industry challenges and job site realities to the appeal of tech and remote work, we break down the factors that drive career moves and share personal stories of navigating change. Whether you're considering a shift or just curious about what it's like on the other side, this episode delivers real talk on the opportunities and trade-offs of leaving the field.

Ep. #29 - Tech Overload, CYA Culture and the Fight to Keep Construction Simple
The Built Different podcast returns with a fresh lineup of hosts—Brian Vizarreta, Grant Hagen and Adam Della Monica—bringing unfiltered conversations straight from the field. In this kickoff episode, we dive into the realities of tech adoption in construction: why CYA culture is taking over, how AI is actually being used (or ignored) on job sites, and whether robotics and automation will finally gain traction. Plus, we unpack the challenges of overloaded workloads, the disconnect between innovation and implementation and why the best tech should make work easier, not harder.
