At Autodesk’s Digital Builder podcast, we often explore how technology is shaping construction—but this episode focuses just as much on the people and coordination behind the work.

In this episode, Eric Thomas sits down with Woody Benisek-Beal, Director of Construction at The Kraft Group, to talk about what it takes to build and renovate inside Gillette Stadium while it continues to host games, concerts, and events year-round. With no downtime, every project depends on constant communication across teams to keep operations running and the fan experience intact.

The conversation also touches on how The Kraft Group is evolving its use of technology—from model-based workflows to a growing digital twin—and how visualization tools are helping bridge the gap between design intent and real-world experience.

This episode offers a practical look at how construction teams keep projects moving while everything else around them keeps moving too.

On this episode:

• What it takes to manage construction in a venue that never shuts down
• How teams coordinate across operations, security, and events to avoid disruptions
• Why communication is critical when balancing construction and live experiences
• How models, visualization tools, and virtual reality help align stakeholders
• The role of centralized platforms and digital twins in improving access to information

Digital Builder is hosted by Eric Thomas from Autodesk.
