We sit down with Jim Lynch, Senior Vice President of Autodesk Construction Solutions, to talk about what he's been hearing from Autodesk's partners and customers over the last year, the current and upcoming trends in the AEC industry, and how technology is not just transforming how companies approach construction, but it's even changing how those same companies see themselves.

Getting Preconstruction right is no easy task—it takes effective leadership, great communication strategies, and strong relationship-building skills. When it’s done well, projects can meet deadlines, budget expectations, and owner expectations , but when it's done poorly, the results can be catastrophic, from overspending to unexpected project delays, entire projects can be threatened by poor preconstruction strategies.
Alongside its importance to the overall construction process, there’s also never been a better time to build a career in Preconstruction. In this episode, we sit down with two precon powerhouses: Taimoor Khan, VP of Preconstruction at Satterfield & Pontikes Construction, and JD King, VP of Preconstruction at LEMOINE, to get a more thorough look at what’s happening in the precon world, how leaders can better manage their teams, and how to navigate the complex relationships GCs can have with subcontractors, trades, and specialty contractors.

The move toward increasingly sustainable construction practices requires more than just a strategy. Without a significant paradigm shift that makes reducing our carbon footprint a top priority, sustainability will always remain just out of reach. That’s why we are excited to talk with Webcor's Senior Sustainability Officer, Sarah Rege.
In this episode, we dive into Sarah’s career transition from architecture to being a sustainability leader at a general contractor, how Webcor is integrating sustainability across their entire business, and how prioritization is enabling successful sustainability initiatives.

The most important factors to successful construction projects often revolve around effective collaboration between project stakeholders, and as innovation is happening throughout the industry, our efforts to work together and communicate effectively need to evolve, as well. This collaboration commonly breaks down between architects and contractors, as questions are left unanswered, and construction can be brought to a standstill until the confusion is cleared up.
In this episode, we are diving into the world of executive architecture with Alma Jauregi, Principal at House & Robertson Architects - San Francisco, to more deeply explore the relationship between architects and general contractors, how to succeed at early collaboration efforts, and how to find success early in your career journey.

Innovation, purpose-built tools, and the labor shortage have initiated an unexpected shift in roles across the construction industry, especially when it comes to superintendents. Traditionally, the majority of superintendents have a background in the trades and deeply engrained experience from the field. Now, more than ever, superintendents are entering the role from a variety of backgrounds, creating a unique mix of experiences, perspectives, and approaches to the role.
In this episode, we are sitting down with Erin Saiki, who pivoted from her career in Civil Engineering and now has fully embraced the superintendent role at DPR Construction. We explore her career journey and how she sees the superintendent role evolving alongside the construction industry.

A core goal of Digital Builder has always been to highlight innovative approaches to the way companies are designing and making our world, which involves so much more than workflow processes, RFPs, and the often-overhyped threat of AI taking all of our jobs. Some of these innovations are happening at a much more granular level, which is what our friends at BamCore are doing with sustainable building materials like eucalyptus and timber bamboo.
In this episode, we sit down with two leaders from BamCore, Kate Chilton, the Chief Sustainability Officer, and Zack Zimmerman, Co-founder & Chief Commercial Officer. BamCore is dedicated to developing building solutions that minimize waste and shorten construction timelines with the goal of achieving a “beyond-zero” carbon footprint.
We discuss:

As more and more companies are adopting data strategies and AI into their processes, they are also starting to see other areas of the business that data can empower. Thiago Da Costa, Co-founder & CEO at Toric, believes one of those areas is monetization.
We sat down with Thiago at Autodesk University to pick his brain on all things data monetization: how proper data implementation can save companies money, how it can empower new revenue streams in project bids, and how that same approach also naturally leads to stronger relationships with project stakeholders.
