Opening remarks at the Lean Construction Institute Congress, delivered by board chair Katie Wells, who is also VP of Design Management and Operational Excellence at Brasfield & Gorrie, LLC.

Katie has championed making room for mistakes and creating an environment where it is "safe to be wrong." That’s the foundation of continuous improvement. Psychological safety isn’t a soft skill in construction, it’s what makes better planning, better collaboration, and better outcomes possible.

Thank you, Katie, for setting such a meaningful tone.

Last week was New York Climate Week. As we know, "the built environment is the fastest-growing contributor to climate change, accounting for almost 40% of global emissions." That's why innovations such as Early Connected Models are so important - they help the construction industry cut costs, reduce schedule and perhaps most importantly, reduce C02 emissions by up to 10%

Michael Gustafson, Qnect, and Andrew Sundal, HGA, fueled an in-depth discussion about agentic AI and how to implement it across AE firms at . The jury is out for who is better equipped to deliver this: software companies or service providers. However, we do know AEC requires deterministic systems that have humans in the loop.

This Labor Day, we're thinking about the engineers, detailers, fabricators, and ironworkers who turn a design intent into a building that stands.

Our work exists to support that expertise, not replace it: better information earlier, so the people doing the work can do it with fewer surprises.
