In this episode of The ConTech Crew, Jeff Sample sits down with Peter Lasensky, founder of Command Post and the original creator of NoteVault, to talk about revolutionizing documentation in construction. With decades of firsthand experience as a contractor and tech innovator, Peter shares how a tough legal lesson inspired him to create a voice-to-text solution that’s changing how field teams protect their projects and their bottom line.

Peter gets into the power of real-time documentation, why adjectives don’t belong in daily reports, and how AI and multilingual support are shaping the future of construction communication. From solving disputes before they start to connecting teams with smart collaboration tools, this episode is packed with insights for anyone building in today’s high-risk, high-stakes environment.

Key Learnings

  • Real-time voice documentation can help contractors avoid litigation and get paid faster.
  • Removing opinions and adjectives from reports makes them stronger in legal disputes.
  • Documentation tools must match the UX standards of modern apps to drive adoption.
  • Multilingual support with automated transcription and translation builds trust and clarity.
  • AI can now help teams spot leading risk indicators before projects go off track.
  • Smart collaboration tools connect GCs and subs without compromising transparency.
