153: How the Most Important Industry in the World is Becoming Tech-Empowered ft. Dustin Burns, McCownGordon Construction

Dustin Burns is the VP of Technology at McCownGordon Construction. His approach to technology impacts corporate culture, creating higher associate engagement and productivity.

Dustin believes technology is useless if it doesn’t help people, and that construction is the most important industry in the world. In this week’s episode, he breaks down how new tech solutions are transforming the AEC industry — from preventing rework and reducing safety risk to changing the way the next generation views trade careers.

Topics covered in this episode include:

  • the shifting perspective of working a trade

  • the role of technology in client experiences

  • safety and efficiency in construction

  • looking outside of the AEC industry for construction tech solutions
