"$65 billion worth of rework happened in the United States last year in construction. The expectation in the market is that construction projects run over budgets and timelines."
In today's episode of Bricks, Bucks and Bytes, we got to learn about Twin Knowledge, an AI-powered platform that raised $3.7M to help construction and real estate stakeholders QA/QC building drawings before they hit the field.
We discovered how the company is tackling the massive $65B rework problem by creating AI assistants that help query unstructured data across different silos.
Also, we learned about the power of "white glove" implementation approaches in construction tech from JP Bowgen of Camber Creek.
Tune in to find out about:
✅ Why developers feel the most pain from drawing errors
✅ How Twin Knowledge can help teams do "4-5X the work with half the team"
✅ Why founder expertise matters more than ever in the AI boom
✅ The importance of catching errors upstream before they become costly rework
