Saving time and money is essential on every construction project.

In an urban environment, maximizing the use of space is critical also. What if there was a way to reduce the space required for parking by 40-60%, save money by eliminating the floors of concrete needed for a traditional parking structure, and cut 30-90 days off the project schedule? All of this is achievable, and on today's show you'll find out how.

This is the first in a series of interviews that I'll be doing with CEOs of companies that are leading the construction industry forward in terms of new systems, processes and technologies.

My guest is Scott Gable, CEO of City Lift Parking, a company that is revolutionizing the way buildings are built in the United States, particularly in urban, land constrained environments. CityLift Parking designs, installs, and services automated parking systems that reduce the footprint needed for parking and can typically be done at a lower cost per space than conventional parking.
