EPISODE 413: The construction industry has been using prefabrication for years, but there’s always been a bit of a disconnect.
Typically, prefabrication doesn’t start until the bid is awarded to the fabricators. But what if there’s a way to speed up the process while building a sustainable future?
In this week’s episode, Nathan Wood and I speak with Michael Gustafson, vice president of strategy and business development at Qnect.
As a structural engineer with extensive experience working with big names in the construction tech world like Trimble and Autodesk, Michael saw an opportunity to improve the steel design workflow with Qnect.
Qnect offers both software and services for optimizing steel designs, aiming to remove inefficiencies and reduce material and process waste.
Today, Michael talks about how integrating AI in construction can automate repetitive tasks and boost productivity. He also shares insights into the global engineering practices and the growing trend of prefabrication, particularly in structural steel, to reduce uncertainties and speed up project delivery, what Qnect brings to the table, and more.
Let’s dive in!
Key Takeaways:
Introduction (00:00)
Michael’s transition to the construction tech world (02:25)
The importance of steel in construction (04:22)
Qnect’s core mission and goals (07:46)
How Qnect is helping detailers (12:37)
Role of AI in enhancing construction processes (14:02)
