Why Millennials and Gen Z Are Forcing a Tech Takeover in Construction!

In this Episode, the discussion focused on the integration of technology in the construction, fit-out, and renovation industry, featuring Matt from PropDoc. Matt shared his background transitioning from architecture to chartered surveying and eventually founding PropDoc, a company specializing in property documentation through advanced technologies like LiDAR scanning and photogrammetry. He emphasized the industry's traditionally slow adoption of digital tools, attributing much of the resistance to generational differences and the inertia within large corporate workflows. Despite this, the potential benefits of digitization, including increased efficiency, accuracy, and cost savings over time, were highlighted as key drivers for change. The conversation also explored the use of drones in construction and property marketing. Matt explained how drones are employed for progress monitoring, asset inspections, and capturing compelling visual content, although regulatory hurdles and cost can limit their widespread use. The episode further delved into the evolving expectations of future clients, notably younger, digitally native generations who will likely demand faster, more seamless digital workflows. Matt predicted that technologies such as AI, machine learning, and computer vision would increasingly augment property workflows by streamlining data extraction and virtual inspections, ultimately enhancing decision-making and project management. Looking ahead, both hosts recognized the transformative role of AI and digital tools in their respective fields, acknowledging that while some skepticism remains, these innovations promise substantial improvements. They discussed the importance of educating clients and industry professionals to overcome hesitation and to harness technology for creating more efficient, transparent processes. The episode concluded with optimism about the future, particularly regarding the continuous advancement of digital solutions and the integration of AI-powered large language models to leverage accumulated data for better client service and operational efficiency.
