AI wars, Trimble’s big swing, and the $299B payment black hole.
In this week’s Bricks, Bucks & Bytes episode:
🐯 PlanGrid’s founders return with TigerEye, and they’re aiming straight at construction AI.
📸 Trimble drops a reality-capture bomb and launches “Agentic AI” across their platform.
💸 $299B is evaporating from construction thanks to slow payments (yes… billion).
🧱 NxLite raises $9.2M to reinvent energy-efficient windows with nanotech.
📐 Takeoff AI gets $30.5M, but the industry still doesn’t trust automated quantities.
But that’s not all:
Dustin walks through why takeoff AI keeps failing.
Martin explains why drawings are fundamentally broken.
Will from Rabbet reveals how slow payments silently kill contractors.
And we preview the Suffolk Boost 6 cohort
🎧 Listen now for:
Why TigerEye’s “no-bullshit AI for construction” could change the landscape overnight
The Trimble agent push and why Dustin thinks most BigCo AI is “probably trash”
The real physics behind energy-control coatings (and why nanotech matters)
Which takeoff problems AI still can’t solve (hint: inconsistent drawings)
The math behind the $299B payment drain and why owners actually lose money by paying slow
