A drafter wanted a few thousand dollars and five weeks for a permit set. Ian McCormick did it in an hour with Claude. The permit was issued the next day.

That is one piece of a much bigger overhaul. Ian and Sarah McCormick run McDevCo, a two-person custom home company building $5 million homes in Telluride. Ian put $600MM of commercial work in place before this. In this episode they walk through ripping out their entire tech stack and rebuilding it around AI: BuilderTrend to Resio, Proton Mail to Google Workspace, Zoom gone, Claude running everything from IT migrations to permit drawings to coordinating five trades on a modular build.

If you have ever felt like you are not a "tech person," so do they. That is exactly what makes this one worth your time.

What you'll hear:

• Why they ripped out the whole stack at once instead of one piece at a time
• Switching from BuilderTrend to Resio, and what they were really optimizing for
• The $3K, five-week permit done in one hour with Claude Design
• The festival blog SEO play that targets out-of-area buyers
• Hiring their first Super Manager, cradle to grave
