Big tech’s building binge, nuclear's next act, and the future of construction software.
In this week’s Bricks, Bucks & Bytes episode:
🚀 Big tech is reshaping construction — with data center demand forcing GCs to rethink capacity, speed, and standardization.
⚡ Palantir dives into nuclear — $100M partnership to streamline reactor builds with AI-driven ops.
🏗️ Is software really the answer… or is construction’s real bottleneck still capacity?
But that’s not all:
Patric drops a mind-bending stat: 22-28% of mature economy GDP comes from projects. In emerging markets? Closer to 40%.
The crew roasts “fundraising consultants” scamming desperate founders.
We tear apart the World Economic Forum's “Top 10 Emerging Tech” list. Spoiler: hydrogen didn’t make the cut.
🎧 Listen now for:
Why vertical integration (think Goldbeck) might be the future of GCs
What Palantir’s nuclear play really signals for construction tech
The hidden risks of consumption-based pricing models (and what Chamath gets right)
🗣 Bonus: Some personal highlights
Owen’s battling a London heatwave (finally got AC)
Martin’s dreaming of a Central European construction boom
Patric’s out here dropping $320B market cap flexes
