Revolutionizing Construction Project Management with Jet.Build

In this episode of the Slice of Construction podcast, host Jared Taylor sits down with Adam Stark, co-founder of Jet.Build, to explore how the company is revolutionizing project management for construction and development. Jet.Build was born from Stark’s own experience in New York City’s fast-paced construction environment, where the limitations of managing large-scale projects with email and Excel became apparent. Stark explains how Jet.Build offers a more efficient and streamlined approach to handling complex construction projects, centralizing data and simplifying collaboration across various stakeholders.

Overcoming the Traditional "That's How We've Always Done It" Mindset

One of the biggest hurdles in introducing new technology to the construction industry is overcoming the long-standing mindset of “this is how we’ve always done it.” Stark highlights how the industry is seeing a natural shift as a new generation of decision-makers, who grew up with technology, are more open to adopting innovative solutions. Jet.Build is designed to simplify essential tasks like budgeting, scheduling, and construction operations by offering a fresh update to outdated tools, making it easier for teams to collaborate and improve overall efficiency.

Jet.Build's End-to-End Solution for Developers

Jet.Build provides a complete end-to-end solution for construction projects, starting from the developer’s initial planning stages through to post-construction asset management. Stark outlines how Jet.Build allows developers to log data and centralize operations long before a general contractor is involved. This continuity ensures that all project data is captured from the beginning, improving accuracy and enabling better project management as the development progresses. This comprehensive approach not only simplifies construction processes but also supports the transition into asset management.

The Future of AI in Construction

As construction technology continues to evolve, AI is playing an increasingly vital role. Jet.Build is at the forefront of this transformation, with Stark detailing how AI is used to automate administrative tasks, predict project outcomes, and provide real-time insights. Stark envisions AI as an actionable tool that will help construction teams perform their jobs more efficiently by reducing time spent on repetitive tasks like report generation and improving decision-making with predictive analytics.

Cautionary Approach to AI in Finance

While AI holds immense potential, Stark is cautious about automating financial aspects of construction, such as invoice management or requisition approvals. He stresses the importance of manually checking financial data to avoid errors that could have significant consequences for a project. Stark believes that while AI can assist with data processing, human oversight remains essential, especially in critical areas like project finances.

What's Next for Jet.Build?

Jet.Build continues to innovate, with Stark revealing the company’s upcoming presentation at Blueprint Vegas, where they will showcase their latest advancements in AI for construction. The goal is to demonstrate how AI can be implemented today to improve efficiency on job sites and project planning on a larger scale. Stark encourages anyone interested in enhancing their construction processes to reach out and collaborate, as Jet.Build remains committed to improving and adapting its platform based on industry feedback.

As Jet.Build moves forward, it's clear that they are set to play a key role in the ongoing transformation of the construction industry, offering tools and technologies that will help projects run more smoothly, efficiently, and with greater precision than ever before.
