Nathan Wood, CEO & Founder at SpectrumAEC and Executive Director at the Construction Progress Coalition joins hosts Ralph Montague and John Egan for a discussion about change and the benefits of innovation in our built environment.

Early on in his career, Wood recognised that industry stakeholders shared the same problems when working on construction projects. His experience showed these were not unique to his company and were common to all companies he worked alongside. Wood decided to do something about it when he set up the Construction Project Coalition and consulting firm, AEC Spectrum to give the construction industry exactly what it needed in terms of the innovative edge to overcome these shared pains.
