The Hidden AI Revolution in Construction | Rajitha Chaparala (Procore)

On today’s episode, we’re talking with Rajitha Chaparala, VP of Product at Procore, a construction management solution and one of the most successful examples of vertical SaaS out there today.

In this episode, we discuss:

• How Rajitha and her team are using LLMs to streamline complex processes like requests for information (RFIs), project revisions, and construction site walkthroughs
• Why building trust and showing real, immediate value were key to getting AI buy-in from construction professionals, historically hesitant to adopt new tech
• Why Rajitha believes this is construction’s moment for AI, and how the shift from skepticism to curiosity happened almost overnight
