Brian Nickel, M.Arch.’s Post

The latest episode of the Big 5 Global podcast featuring me is out. Hosted by the insightful Georgia Tolley, this episode dives deep into crucial topics like Diversity and role of technology in shaping the future of the construction industry. In our conversation, we talked in depth about the pressing issue of diversity in the construction sector, and how it is deep rooted in all size of businesses let it be a large organisation or a startup. I shared my thoughts on what the industry needs to do to become more inclusive and less male-dominated and also how this problem can only be solve by working from the start of chain i.e. making the education and career in construction more attractive for students to join in. It's a topic close to my heart, and I believe it's high time for actionable changes. Another highlight of the podcast was discussing how the industry is leveraging Large Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT to streamline operations and increase productivity. The integration of advanced AI in our workflows is not just about efficiency; it's about opening doors to unprecedented possibilities in construction management and operations. Whether you're a professional in the construction industry or someone curious about its evolving dynamics, there's much to learn and ponder upon in the conversation. A big thank you to Gavin D. and Mohamed Suleman for the prep, Georgia, and the Big 5 Global team for this wonderful opportunity! https://lnkd.in/dGzc48yd #Construction #Big5Global #DubaiConstruction
