Most conversations about AI in construction stop at "it will make drawings faster." This one starts where the industry usually stops: the workflows, roles, and software models we have quietly accepted for years, and why they are about to be rearranged.

In this episode we sit down with Mirco Bianchini, Senior Product Manager at AECOM, an architect turned parametric design specialist who now works at the intersection of product, software, and the built environment.

The conversation is structured around five predictions for how agentic AI reshapes digital construction, and most of them push against the industry's defaults.
