    Episode 66 - Should you learn to code? feat. Christian Kongsgaard
    Jan 1 2026
    Starting a conversation about programming in construction might not sound like a recipe for excitement. But give it a minute.
    When you zoom in on what professional services truly mean in this industry, the endless Excel sheets, the risk of human error, and the sheer amount of admin, you start to see the problem. And with it, the solution.

    In this episode Ross has a conversation with Christian Kongsgaard about the essential role of coding in the digital progression of the industry.
    The core question is: Should professionals, from architects and engineers to cost managers and quantity surveyors, learn to code?

    The answer is yes. It’s not about becoming a software developer, but about adapting to the inevitable change that is reshaping how construction services are bought and delivered.

    What you'll learn from today's episode of Inventing Construction:

    - Why is coding important for construction?
    - Why business models in construction are changing
    - Coding in construction: where do you start?

    Episode 65 - The 8 steps that will transform construction feat. Paul Bingham
    Dec 15 2025
    Talk about transforming construction, and you’ll often get eye-rolls or buzzword fatigue. But listen to those that are the most passionate about this topic, and you’ll find a much deeper story—one of culture, people, missed opportunities, and real, actionable change.

    In this episode Ross sat down with Paul Bingham from Smart Connected Buildings and Digital Construction Forum, who shared decades of insight from smart tech, real estate, and digital transformation.

    It’s not that construction is broken. It’s that it could be much better. And according to Paul, the tools are already here—we just need to use them the right way.

    What you'll learn from today's episode of Inventing Construction:

    - What needs to change to obtain true integrated delivery
    - What is slowing transformation today
    - Why clients have the key to transforming the industry

  • Episode 64 - The latest on-site innovations feat. Casper Hertz Nielsen

    Episode 64 - The latest on-site innovations feat. Casper Hertz Nielsen
    Dec 1 2025
    When most people hear "construction innovation," they picture software teams in office buildings or tech startups far from the dust and noise of real projects. But innovation is happening where the concrete is poured and the cranes swing. And it's not abstract. It's practical, scalable, and saves time and money.
    In this episode, we've invited on Casper Hertz Nielsen, Process and Innovation Chief at NCC in Denmark, to discuss the very real changes happening on construction sites today. From smarter digital tools to sharper energy tracking, here's how NCC's team is reshaping on-site workflows.

    What you'll learn from today's episode of Inventing Construction:

    - Why real innovation starts on site, not in the office
    - Why a contractor models his building in the virtual world
    - What are on-site digital information points?
    - Why you should do construction site logistics in 3D
