Scalability is what determines success. But are the technological advancements in construction enough to move the industry forward?
In today's podcast episode, I have the privilege of hosting two leading innovators in the industry: Todd Wynne, the Chief Innovation Officer at Rogers-O’Brien, and Chris Callen, Founder and CEO of PLOT.
Before meeting Chris, Todd was a trailblazer in the construction industry around innovation, with over a decade of experience under his belt.
Much like Todd, Chris also possesses a deep fondness for technology. Growing up in a family deeply rooted in construction, Chris became involved in his family's business at a young age.
However, he later embarked on a journey to pursue studies and a career in software development. Eventually, he returned to lead his family's construction business for a considerable period, and it was during this time that he and Todd connected.
Together, Chris and Todd embarked on developing a technology named Grit. Despite its potential, Grit did not take off as expected, leading to the sale of the venture.
However, their experiences and lessons from this endeavor led to their subsequent undertaking, PLOT.
PLOT is a job site coordination software that eases job site logistics, delivery coordination, and lead time management.
Today, Todd and Chris share invaluable insights on construction innovation and scalability, digitizing vs. digitalizing construction, and how they are helping the builders with innovation.
We also discussed the labor shortage in construction and technology's role in solving this problem.

In today’s episode, we are very lucky to be joined by none other than Todd Weyandt! Todd is the Director of Marketing at Applied Software and Graitec Group, but is perhaps best known for his work as host of the Bridging the Gap Podcast.
Todd is a marketer at heart, which is where he says his true passion lies. Around 8 years ago, he stumbled into the construction industry and Applied Software, and hasn’t looked back since.
He became fascinated with the construction industry’s PR issue, people having such a poor, misguided view of what’s really happening, and not able to see the true potential of the industry.
Today we are going to discuss his backstory, the challenges of storytelling, and innovation in the industry.
