Construction Doesn't Have a Technology Problem with Amir Berman

41m | Oct 27, 2026

Construction doesn’t necessarily have a technology problem. It has a connection, measurement, and predictability problem. In this episode, guest Amir Berman of Buildots challenges the idea that construction is technologically behind. From machinery and reality capture to legacy systems and project data, the industry already generates and uses enormous amounts of technology. The bigger opportunity is connecting those existing tools and data sources to understand what’s actually happening on projects and using those insights to improve future performance. 


Amir Berman is the VP of Industry Transformation at Buildots, bringing nearly 20 years of experience across technology, data, software, and product management. The conversation explores how Buildots uses AI, computer vision, reality capture, and project data to measure construction progress, identify problems earlier, and compare actual performance against the plan. Amir also introduces the Buildots Intelligence Lab and its effort to turn aggregated construction data into meaningful benchmarks that can help teams understand what “good” performance actually looks like.


Key Takeaways

  • Why construction’s biggest technology opportunity is connecting and leveraging the tools already in use.
  • How Buildots uses AI and reality capture to identify project risks before they become bigger problems.
  • Why standardization and measurement are essential for improving predictability across projects and businesses.
  • How industry benchmarks help teams understand what good construction performance actually looks like.
  • How production data can uncover performance gaps and create more realistic plans for future projects.
