In This Case

In this episode, we explore major sources of carbon (CO2) emissions in the construction industry and talk to innovators who are working to limit the impact.

In this episode, we look at Hilti's approach to sustainability and how our focus on environment, people, and society make us the best partner for sustainability.

Welcome back to season five of "In This Case." This season we are talking about sustainability, why it matters, how it impacts construction and why our industry and Hilti is best positioned to make construction more productive, safer and more sustainable.

This season, we have been featuring the technological innovations that are moving the construction industry forward and giving way to what some are calling a construction renaissance. The results are increased productivity and safety, and, ultimately, a better way to build. These innovations all started with imagination. In this episode we reflect on the innovations brought to life through imagining a better way to build and ask construction professionals what they think of the innovations they are seeing now and what is to come.

Episode note: At the time of this recording, Martina McIssac held the role of Hilti North America Region Head and CEO. She has since transitioned to a new role outside of the organization.

In this episode we talk about the rise of Equipment as a Service in construction. Join us as we talk to a subscription model expert and Hilti team members about how the subscription services model makes customers members and vendors partners.

In this episode, we’ll talk to Internet of Things expert and Hilti leaders about how connected hardware and software turn big data into actionable insights.

We’ll talk to author and IoT expert, Don DeLoach and Hilti leaders Ted Przybylowicz and Erik Mikysa.

In this episode we will look at the rise of human augmentation tools in construction and the impact they are having on the people who build.

We’ll talk to generational builders, Tyler and Eddie Campbell of the Construction Brother’s Podcast, ergonomics expert and founder of AEXG, Marisol Barrero, Hilti health and safety manager, Khadija Talley and Hilti business unit manager, Ed Selz to discuss how human augmentation is being used to increase safety and productivity and the jobsite and beyond.

On this episode we talk to roboticist and industry experts about how robots are making jobsites safer and more productivity and how they are creating an entirely new job category.

This season we are exploring the ways in which technological innovations are addressing the greatest challenges facing the construction industry.

On this episode we dig into building information modeling: how it started, how it took root, and how it changed the way we build.

Join us as we talk to Martin Fischer, Ph.D. as he discusses how he helped develop what we now call BIM. We also talk to Hilti’s Trevor Owen about his experience bringing BIM to jobsites.

In the final episode of our six-part series on the work of the Hilti Foundation we are going deep to learn more about the Foundation's origin story and how it connects to one of the most exciting archaeological discoveries in modern times.
