Hello Project AI enthusiasts,
What if the most powerful tool on a construction site was no longer a towering crane or a ground-shaking excavator, but a device you could hold in the palm of your hand? Imagine technology once reserved for blockbuster film effects and advanced geographical surveys, now so small, so accessible, that it could fundamentally reshape how we build the world around us. This isn’t a far-off fantasy; it’s a reality being championed by people like Josh Schumann, and it poses a profound question: when revolutionary tools become simple enough for anyone to use, what happens to an industry that has spent centuries perfecting its resistance to change?
In our recent, deeply insightful conversation on the Project Flux podcast, Josh Schumann, Director of Pepper Build Construction and a consultant for NavLive, offered a compelling look into the dualities that define the modern construction landscape. On one hand, he operates in the world of high-end residential projects in Kensington and Chelsea, a realm of bespoke quality and meticulous craftsmanship. On the other, he is at the vanguard of a technological revolution, helping to introduce cutting-edge LIDAR scanning technology that promises to bring unprecedented clarity and efficiency to the chaotic reality of a building site.
