Big tech investments without testing? At DPR Construction, that's a hard NO. Even with a $90M annual tech budget, they won't invest until they've tested solutions on actual projects.

In today's episode of Corporate Innovations from Bricks & Bytes, we had Atul Khanzode, CTO of DPR Construction, sharing invaluable insights from his 27+ years of experience in construction technology and innovation.

Tune in to learn about:

✅ Why DPR requires testing every solution before investing, after losing $500K on an untested startup

✅ Their unique "discipline innovation approach" focusing on 5 key areas: safety, quality, sustainability, supply chain, and productivity

✅ How they manage a $2-3M annual innovation budget separate from their main tech spending

✅ Why they partner with OpenAI, Microsoft, and Autodesk instead of building everything in-house

Listen now on Spotify to hear Atul's practical advice for construction tech startups and learn how one of America's largest general contractors approaches innovation
