EP 160 - Is construction STILL operating like it’s the 1970s? With Ralph Montague, from ARCDOX


Listen Later

For an industry worth $12 trillion, construction is shockingly inefficient.

Projects run late.

Budgets get blown.

30% of materials end up in skips.

Meanwhile, manufacturing?

✅ Faster.

✅ Cheaper.

✅ More efficient.

So why is construction STILL operating like it’s the 1970s?

In this episode, Mick sits down with Ralph Montague, co-founder of ArcDox and BIM Heroes, to talk about how Building Information Modeling (BIM) is forcing the industry to evolve—whether it likes it or not.

They cover:

🏗️ Why contractors resist efficiency (and how it’s costing them money)

📉 The global skills shortage—why construction is desperate for digital talent

🤝 Why collaboration—not competition—will drive the industry forward

💰 How companies actually using BIM are making more money

The industry is changing.

The question is: Are you adapting? Or getting left behind?
