Most conversations about construction technology focus on what the tools can do. This one focuses on what they actually do — to the people using them.

Rob Sloyer is VP of Innovation and Strategic Services at KAST Construction, a Florida-based multifamily builder with over two decades building at scale. He's been close to BIM since before most companies knew how to spell it — and he's watched enough hype cycles to know that technology without purpose doesn't just fail to help. It actively makes things worse.

In this conversation:

• Why BIM shifted problems earlier in the process instead of eliminating them
• The three-part test for whether a tool actually belongs in the work
• What AI adoption is getting wrong — and why it's hitting the same walls as every wave before it
• The workforce shortage, rework as a safety multiplier, and why the field pushes back

We never have time to do it right, but we always find time to do it again. This conversation is about changing that.
