Construction Brothers

We talk to the founder of Dusty Robotics! Tessa brings insight of how CAD drawings have more use cases than we currently use them for and has designed a robot that takes these drawings and prints them on a site. While Tyler draws up his BattleBot, Tessa talks about how humanitarian issues created a desire to enter the robotics field and finding creative ways to help people. Designated as a Chief Robot Whisperer, Tessa’s goal is to create robots that can do the things we can’t or don’t want to do. Related Links: Dusty Robotics Tessa's LinkedInSUBSCRIBE!

Have you ever stayed in a Marriott, Hilton, or Hyatt Hotel? There's a high likelihood that you've used one of these bathroom pods. But how is it done? Tyler had the opportunity to go visit SurePods, which is a prefabrication company here in the U.S. Their Vice President, Bill Seery, walked Tyler through the plant and showed him how it all comes together. 1. Productivity - The work is in front of you, and you almost always have the next thing to be working on. This reduces the number of people in "Wandering Mode" which is what you'll see frequently on job sites. 2. Safety - Since everything is in a controlled environment, it's easier to keep things closer to the ground and in a place that's safer for all employees. In some cases, they have the walls up on tables so they're really comfortable to work on. Each task can be reviewed by a safety officer and adjusted on the fly if needed. 3. Waste - Every piece of light gauge they roll has a purpose. They don't just buy light gauge in stock lengths and cut to size, they roll the studs as needed and to the correct length.  4. Finish - The finished product is immaculate. Multiple people are at the end of the line cleaning every speck of dust off of the tile, sink, mirrors.

Clifton Harness joins us once more! Clifton happens to be the 1st guest ever to be on the show. (See Episode 2) He is the CEO and Co-Founder of TestFit, which helps Developers and Architects solve site plans for multifamily, hotel, parking or garden apartments in seconds. Clifton is one of our favorites to have on the show because we always walk away with food for thought.  In this episode, we cover: - Testfit's breaking news (someone is joining the team) - Clifton's theory of how to fix the industry - Is a completely 3D workflow a pipe-dream? Also, quite possibly the most off-the-rails intro to a show we've ever had. Blame Tyler's coffee addiction.  Relevant Links TestfitClifton's LinkedIn Please consider subscribing!

Losing your temper happens to the best of us. Recently, Eddie lost his temper. Hilariously it happened right after he taught everyone how to deal with conflict, but never mind that. We're covering this topic to remind everyone that mistakes happen and we should always be working to improve how we deal with other people.  Just because we teach it, doesn't mean we're the best at it, though.

Everyone hates repetitive tasks. Our guest, David Burczyk is the Construction Robotics Lead at Trimble. He is responsible for integrating the Boston Dynamics Spot platform with Trimble's hardware like the X7 laser scanner, which we have some personal experience with.  We dive into what the use cases are for this integration, what the workflow looks like, how far away you can be to operate Spot and how much the platform costs.
