Building Conversations

With more women in construction management roles today than ever before, have we forgotten about tradeswomen and their fight for gender equality on site? On this episode, meet Lorien Barlow, director and producer of Hard Hatted Woman, the first feature-length documentary film about women breaking down gender barriers in the construction trades.

Imagine a world where the design team, construction team, and their subs work directly from a shared, buildable model. Join Clayton Lyons, Donal Lyons and Xinan Jiang to find out how STO's Advanced Coordination Team (ACT) is doing just that by leveraging construction technology differently. 

To build new or transform the old? Join Jason Vesuvio, vice president of core and shell firm Pavarini McGovern, as he discusses building repositioning in the ever-evolving landscape of New York City.

Ever wonder when the construction industry started paying attention to sustainability and wellness? In this episode, you'll get an inside look at the push for healthier, more sustainable buildings from Sustainable Construction Leader (SCL) and International Well Building Institute (IWBI) Award Winner, Jennifer Taranto. 

From utilizing technology in the field to searching for a more sustainable approach to building, today nearly every field in construction is pressing up against the limitations of the past. Powered by the STO Building Group, Building Conversations is a monthly interview series focused on the trends that are driving our industry to new heights.
