Is Construction Ready for the Future?

Can an industry tasked with building our future truly meet the demand to double its growth by 2040?

In this episode of The Power of Construction podcast, hosts Sasha Reid and Kris Lengieza explore insights from The Future State of Construction report—a global survey of industry leaders who employed "future-back" thinking to envision what lies ahead.

They discuss the four foundational shifts needed in construction: the future of productivity, workforce, decision-making, and design. From robotics on Birmingham job sites to AI agents helping field workers, discover why the path toward "twice as fast" is a reasonable target, not a pipe dream.

Key topics include how 41% of the workforce will retire by 2031, why 45% of projects go over budget, and how data could save up to 13% of project spending.
