EPISODE 433: Imagine a construction site where every tech tool talks to each other seamlessly–no re-entry, no manual updates–just data flowing effortlessly. Sounds ambitious, right?

In this episode of The ConTech Crew, Nathan Wood and I sit down with Nick Caravella, Director of Growth and Industry Strategy at Avicado, a company dedicated to helping construction owners and teams create a connected digital workflow.
