Welcome to Construction Disrupted, the ultimate podcast for the construction industry exploring the limitless possibilities at the dynamic intersection of construction and technology. Delve into the latest topics, news, events, expert insights and marketing that are shaping the industry right now and in the future and hopefully sprinkle a little humour in there.I'm your guide Peter Sumpton and I run a Marketing Consultancy, buildDifferent. If you're ready to embrace disruption and the unlocked potential building different brings, keep on listening and be part of the conversation that is reshaping the future of construction.Whether you're a construction technology professional, engineer, architect, contractor, or investor, this podcast is your go-to resource for staying informed, inspired, and connected.The construction industry has, until recently, been remarkably consistent in its approach. The actual building process has been so consistent that large-scale builds can be traced back to Ancient Egypt, Iraq, Greece, Rome, and China right through to the Industrial Revolution and the large-scale projects we are so used to seeing today.Raw materials are delivered to Manufacturers who subsequently make the products and components that are required.Procurement on both sides organises the logistics - distribution to site.Materials such as bricks, blocks, and timber which in themselves haven't changed much are brought to the construction site.Once on-site assembly commences. Contractors and subcontractors (typically) perform the work while inspections from formal bodies, associations and regulators r visit the in-progress building to oversee quality and compliance.With so many sectors and subsectors along this fragmented supply chain, it's long been seen as an industry primed for disruption. And now with the added pressures and issues the industry as a whole faces - skill shortages, increasing prices, data overload, waste implications, sustainability factors and tighter regulations, it's unlikely that any one particular technology will disrupt construction on its own. It will take a collaborative effort across multiple workflows for that to happen.But what we are seeing now is new techniques and technologies invalidating long-held assumptions about how the construction industry (especially the build) should be done.A confluence of technologies and tools, including digital twins, building information management (BIM) systems, parametric modelling, smart building materials, sustainable construction practices, robotics, automation, drones, VR, AR, IoT, modular construction, artificial intelligence and many more tech innovations are helping to streamline projects, enhance safety measures and optimise productivity.Put another way, it's the technology and exploring the tech-driven transformation of the built environment we must turn to if the construction industry is going to thrive into the future and for now, for many, simply survive!Thanks so much for taking the time out of your busy day and giving this a read. more

Le podcast Constructions pluri[elles] met en avant le parcours de femmes professionnelles de la construction et de la rénovation écologiques en partant de récits de vie. Produit par l'association Oïkos, ce podcast a pu voir le jour grâce au soutien de la Métropole de Lyon dans le cadre de son Plan d'Accompagnement à la Transition et à la Résilience et à celui de la fondation du BTP. Dans un secteur du bâtiment encore majoritairement masculin, des femmes font leur place, construisent et rénovent les bâtiments de demain. Elles œuvrent dans le secteur de la construction et de la rénovation écologiques, sont maçonnes, architectes, peintres, charpentières, plombières, coordinatrices de travaux, accompagnatrices de chantiers participatifs ou encore spécialisées dans la pose d'isolants... Découvre ici leur parcours, ce qui les anime, le quotidien associé à leur métier, les obstacles franchis et les victoires célébrées. A qui s'adresse ce podcast ? ➡️ A toutes les personnes qui s'intéressent à la place des femmes dans la construction/rénovation mais également à celles qui souhaitent découvrir le secteur de la construction et de la rénovations écologiques sous un nouveau regard.➡️ Parce que ce podcast parle de métiers : que tu sois collégien.ne ou lycéen.ne en pleine réflexion sur ton orientation professionnelle future ; que tu aies commencé des études qui ne correspondent pas à ce que tu recherchais ; que tu exerces un métier depuis de nombreuses années qui ne t'épanouit plus... Ce podcast est fait pour toi ! Car tu découvriras au travers de ces différents portraits et récits autant de parcours et de chemins parfois détournés qui permettent d'arriver dans ces métiers. Nous t'invitons donc à te laisser porter par ces différents récits et qui sait, peut être que cela inspirera ton propre parcours ! ➡️ Si tu es une professionnelle de la construction/rénovation, ce podcast t'es également destiné ! Car de ces récits émanent parfois des problématiques qui feront écho aux tiennes, des stratégies dont tu pourras t'inspirer et la référence à des réseaux sur lesquels tu pourras t'appuyer. Ce podcast est un outil qui a vocation à mettre en lumière, créer des passerelles et qui, nous l'espérons, alimentera tes réflexions et tes pratiques. Bonne écoute ! Et si toi aussi tu souhaites témoigner, partager tes stratégies, rebondir sur un épisode ou juste poser une question : contacte-nous, ce sera un plaisir d'échanger avec toi ! Contact : sensibiliser@oikos-ecoconstruction.com - Par téléphone : 09-81-71-67-85Site internet d'Oïkos : clique ici   more
