Recorded live at Advancing Preconstruction 2026 in Phoenix, Arizona, this episode features Steve Dell'Orto, Founder and CEO of Concentric.

A construction industry veteran who built the platform from the GC side, Dell'Orto brings the perspective of someone who has lived the inefficiencies he is now working to solve.

Key Topics Covered:

• The Excel problem: Most precon teams still running disconnected spreadsheets with no standardization, structured data, or shared repository across the team
• Platform adoption: Concentric is designed to be familiar and Excel-like, keeping the barrier low without reinventing existing preconstruction workflows
• The data flywheel: Each project captured in the platform feeds the next, building accuracy, precision, and certainty of outcome over time
• Single pane of glass: Consolidating precon workflows into one platform eliminates the data transfer friction and security exposure that comes with juggling multiple point solutions
• Amplify and agentic AI: Concentric's AI layer operates inside the platform vault, keeping proprietary data secure while delivering company-specific, context-rich outputs
• Precon as a unifier: The platform is designed to bring operations into the planning stage earlier, bridging preconstruction and execution rather than treating it as a clean handoff
