Albert Bou Fadel didn’t set out to build construction tech. He was just trying to run his glazing crews and make sure six-figure payrolls actually lined up with what was happening on-site.

In this episode of Constructive, Albert shares how his frustration with unreliable time tracking led him to create SmartBarrel: a deceptively simple, field-first solution that captures accurate labor data without friction. What’s more compelling, though, is Albert’s philosophy: build tools that align incentives, eliminate excuses, and solve one thing extremely well before moving to the next.

If you’re tired of big promises and underwhelming results in ConTech, this one’s for you.
