Lost $100,000 before even breaking ground on a construction project

It happens more often than you think in the construction industry.

In today's episode of Bricks, Bucks & Bytes, we had Victor Zhang from Trestle and we got to learn about the hidden profit leaks in construction, why phone calls still beat emails in B2B sales, and how AI is actually being used in construction tech... and many more!

Tune in to find out about:

✅ Why construction companies lose money before projects even start

✅ The real reason email marketing fails with general contractors

✅ How proprietary data creates stronger defensibility than AI algorithms

✅ Why now is the perfect time to start a construction tech company

Victor shared real examples from his 15 years as a civil engineer and how he built Trestle into an AI-driven risk management platform for general contractors.

Listen now on Spotify to hear the full conversation about building in the construction tech space.
