S6E133: Why construction software sucks with Jason Lancini

<p>In this episode, Dale speaks with Jason Lancini about why construction software sucks!</p> <p>Jason chooses a very provocative title to make his case for user-centric software development in construction project management.</p> <p>Jason is COO and leads the product team and operations at Aphex. As a former construction project manager and engineer, and a former, former construction labourer he is passionate about building construction software that is actually great to use for the end user.</p> <p>The main topics we discussed on the podcast were as follows:</p> <ul> <li>Software should be able to help us churn information faster, pull information together quicker and turning data into meaningful information that can be used to make decisions</li> <li>Software is usually procured top down which means it is mandated on end users rather than being tailored to their needs</li> <li>The best time to try new software is at the start of a project when the procedural documents are being written</li> <li>Planning software may have the official project plan but it may not have all the unofficial plans e.g. the engineering lookahead. Consider if you are seeing the full picture</li> <li>Augmented Reality / Virtual Reality is more likely to be adopted on consumer products before it is used on construction products</li> </ul> <p>Tune in next time when we’re joined by Alan Mosca to discuss whether AI &amp; Machine Learning really makes a difference?</p> <p>For more information, blogs or to support our charities visit <a href="http://www.projectchatterpodcast.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.projectchatterpodcast.com</a></p> <p>If you'd like to sponsor the podcast get in touch via our website.</p> <p>You can also leave us a voice message via our anchor page and let us know if there's something or someone specific that you would like on the podcast.</p> <p>Proudly sponsored by:<br> &nbsp;JustDo - <a href="https://www.justdo.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.justdo.com/</a><br
