Everyone's losing their mind over Palantir entering construction. There's just one problem they've been here for years, and nobody noticed.
In this episode of Bricks, Bucks & Bytes, Owen, Martin, and Dustin Devan cut through the LinkedIn noise, get into why global instability should be keeping construction CEOs up at night, and sit down with Tobias Klug founder of nuuEnergy who just raised €4.3M to rethink how heat pumps get installed across Germany.
This week covers:
Why Palantir's "arrival" in construction is more hype than reality and what it actually does (and doesn't do)
The supply chain warning construction leaders keep ignoring until it's too late
How Tobias and nuuEnergy are building local installation hubs that combine certified craft expertise with startup-speed technology
Turner Construction hits $29.2B revenue a 40% jump in a single year
Autodesk's latest numbers and why their construction arm is growing faster than the rest of the business
