Construction companies are under constant pressure to produce faster, more accurate bids while dealing with labor shortages, rising costs, and outdated estimating processes. Many teams still rely on spreadsheets, manual takeoffs, and the knowledge of a single experienced estimator, creating bottlenecks that slow business growth and reduce win rates. In this episode of The Construction Show, host Rory Bamford sits down with Michael Ding, CEO of Bobyard, to explore how AI is transforming pre-construction estimating and helping contractors bid more projects with greater speed and confidence.

Mining may be serious business, but this episode proves the conversations don't have to be. In this special Mining NOW Wrap & Tap episode filmed at CIM CONNECT 2026, hosts Rory Bamford, Jerrod Downey, and Roy Slack welcome Angela Hamlyn for a lively discussion celebrating 100 years of CIM. Between industry insights, laughs, and a few moments that feel straight out of The Office, the team explores how collaboration, technical excellence, and leadership are helping move the mining industry forward. (No, no one declared bankruptcy by shouting it across the room... but the energy was close.)

The conversation also spotlights several exciting upcoming events, including the 65th Conference of Metallurgy and Materials (August 17–20), the ISSA Mining Safety Conference (September 22–24), and the MRMR 2026 Conference (November 3–6). Angela also shares how CIM's Mining Experience Program is introducing first-year STEM students to real mining operations through classroom learning and underground site visits, helping inspire the next generation of mining professionals. It's proof that the future of mining is built on knowledge sharing, strong partnerships, and getting people excited about the industry.
