In this episode of The Real Build, I sat down with Spencer Padgett.  Spencer owned his own development and contracting business and was the COO for a large design-build firm out of Chicago. He has entitled and developed over 2,200 acres of residential land and has built over 80 custom homes. The teams he led designed and constructed over $25MM/year in contract value.  During the downturn, his company provided due-diligence, pro forma creation, site investigation, development, construction, and sales operations for private equity projects located across the country.

Most importantly, he was a long-time Captain in the United States Marine Corps.

Spencer made a considerable career change a little over a year ago into the technology space.  He joined the construction management software company CoConstruct with a mission to help more builders manage and grow their companies as he did.  He brings a builder's perspective to one of the top construction management companies in the U.S.
