In this episode of Beers with Contractors, hosts Will and Terry share updates ranging from Terry’s restaurant renovation project—featuring a massive black walnut bar slab and plans for event/office space—to Terry’s trip to the AGC National Convention in Orlando with four OU Construction Science students. They discuss conference highlights including AI tools for bidding, accounting, inventory tracking, jobsite documentation, and safety reporting with translation and incident trend analysis, plus emerging ideas like integrating video capture. They also cover tool trends such as improved battery technology, manufacturers moving away from corded tools, and safety shutoff drills, along with the culture of swag and networking. Breakaway topics include the rapid growth of data centers, their increasing proximity to population bases due to latency, infrastructure needs, workforce shortages and immigration, and discussions of onsite power options including nuclear and micro-reactors.
