"20-Year-Old Software is Killing Architecture" - Legacy Systems & Cloud Solutions from Qonic Founders

"Loading 19 files, each over a gigabyte, into a web browser and manipulating them like butter was the moment I knew I had to join Qonic." - Aaron Perry, former digital design lead at one of UK's largest architecture firms.

In today's episode of Bricks and Bytes, we sat down with Mark and Aaron from Qonic to explore how they're revolutionizing AEC software with cloud-native technology that overcomes the limitations of decades-old industry tools.

Tune in to find out about:

✅ Why existing AEC software built in the 90s is holding the industry back

✅ How Qonic handles complex construction models that traditional tools can't process 

✅ Their innovative "per project size" pricing model instead of per-user licensing

✅ Why contractors adopt new tech faster than architects (hint: it's not about the colors)

Listen to the full conversation on Spotify to discover how Qonic is enabling true collaboration across the entire building lifecycle.
