Constructive Voices Radio The conversation is building
Artificial Intelligence Construction
todayJune 30, 2021
Recognizing that the US construction industry is an important cog in the wheel to help boost the recovery of the economy post-COVID and that podcasts are surging in popularity globally, a new podcast platform, Constructive Voices has cleverly combined the two to bring the latest construction industry stories from around the world. All the podcasts aim to inspire positive change; creating the best conversations with industry leaders and change-makers, on topics shaping the sector from the economy to sustainability, social good, mental and physical health, and diversity and inclusion.
Constructive Voices has a strong, talented team of diverse experts behind it, which includes Peter Finn, Ireland’s well-known and favorite TV builder; Henry McDonald, top investigative journalist; Jackie De Burca, author and award-winning podcaster; and Steve Randall, radio presenter, and podcast trainer. Together, they understand what stories are key, which is why this latest episode is looking at how technology is helping the construction industry to increase its efficiency.
The entire business landscape has entered into a digital revolution and construction is no exception. Construction firms are implementing several solutions from cloud-based software to improving workflow to the utilization of drones for more accurate, efficient site visits. As technologies become more financially accessible and user-friendly, builders – both large and small – are beginning to use these new tools in their business.
ALICE Technologies’ vision is to harness AI to reduce the cost of construction by 25 percent globally; a big goal. According to McKinsey & Company, large projects typically take 20 percent longer to finish than scheduled and are up to 80 percent over budget.
René Morkos, CEO, ALICE Technologies says, “Through the smart application of AI, large general contractors can not only schedule their projects more efficiently, but they can also get them back on track when things go awry. In this podcast conversation, we discuss how AI is helping companies globally to deliver big projects on time and on budget.”
Peter Finn, Ireland’s well-known and favorite TV builder says, “The construction industry is expected to grow in the US steadily over the next four quarters, where the construction output is expected to reach US$ 1.82 trillion by 2025. I and the team at Construction Voices want to empower the industry here with relevant and leading conversations, and this episode with ALICE Technologies does just that with this focus on technology.”
Phil Carpenter, CMO, ALICE Technologies, says, “We are excited to be on Constructive Voices, a podcast that is tackling a diverse set of issues. We welcome this opportunity to connect with the construction community globally and to build enthusiasm for AI with this audience.”
Constructive Voices is proud to have received feedback about its podcasts from construction industry leaders, including this one from Guy Woodford, Aggregates Business who says, “A real diversity among the guests, which gives the show pace…a great success story.”
