"Sometimes I walk and I see buildings and I'm like, I can't believe that humans did it. We're so small and we were able to build this. That's almost unbelievable to me sometimes." In today's episode of the Bricks and Bytes Podcast, we had Shir Abecasis, Founder and CEO of Firmus, and we got to learn about how AI is transforming the pre-construction phase, the challenges of training AI to read construction drawings, and the massive impact of design errors on project costs. Tune in to find out about: ✅ How Firmus uses AI to detect design issues before construction begins ✅ The staggering cost of rework in construction projects ✅ Why pre-construction is becoming increasingly important in the industry ✅ The delicate balance between AI vision and providing immediate value Listen now on Spotify to hear Shir's insights on the future of construction tech and valuable lessons for aspiring founders in the AI space.

Welcome to the Bricks & Bytes Broadcast (BBBC) with Patric Hellermann of Foundamental. This format of episode is a weekly dive into the latest construction tech news from the perspective of investors. From innovations to fundings, market insights, and VC-isms, if you’re building in construction tech, investing in construction tech, or intersecting between the tech and physical world, then we’ll help you keep your finger on the pulse. ----------------------- In this episode, Patric discusses the underserved areas in ConstruTech, including common data environments, on-site robotics, and the pre-construction space. The pre-construction phase is particularly challenging as estimations need to be accurate to win projects and avoid cost overruns. Ediphi, a company that focuses on construction estimating, recently raised a $12 million series A round. The US construction estimating software market is valued at $1.4 billion, with a predicted compound annual growth rate of 8.9% from 2023 to 2030. Differentiating in the construction estimating market is crucial, and Ediphi offers cloud-based collaboration and access to accurate cost data. Other companies in the space include 1Build and SpotLock. The conversation also touches on the challenges of pricing bespoke projects, the importance of a collaborative estimation process, and the history of Ediphi and its competition. The episode concludes with discussions on rapid funding rounds, the perception of founders with previous exits, and upcoming projects in construction technology, including a super series and an under-the-radar robotics company.
