"Good contractors don't go out of business because of starvation. They go out of business because of indigestion."

The construction economy has split in two. Data centers and infrastructure are booming. Residential, retail and office? Struggling. Globally.

In today's episode of Bricks & Bytes, we had Kris Lengieza from Procore on the show and we got to learn about what their Market Intelligence data is really telling us about where the industry is heading right now.

Tune in to find out about:

✅ The bifurcation: US construction momentum up 21% but the architectural billing index is in contraction. More starts, fewer new designs. Wild. 

✅ AI going from pilot to production. Turner and Skanska have deployed safety agents on real job sites. 

✅ The vibe coding problem. Project engineers building apps over the weekend and CIOs losing sleep over where the data is going. 

✅ 41% of the workforce retiring by 2031 and what that actually means for project delivery.
