The Sh*t Your Wish Your Building Did Podcast! Discussing all things Smart Building Related. Brought to you by Memoori Research.
AI updates weekly. Cyber threats evolve daily. Meanwhile, most commercial buildings still run on spreadsheets, siloed teams, and 30-year capital plans.In this episode, Rick Huijbregts joins James McHale and Rob Murchison to dig into the growing tension between fast-moving digital forces and the slow-moving world of real estate, infrastructure, and human behavior.We'll explore why buildings are becoming living digital environments, and why the real challenge isn't the technology, it's getting owners, operators, IT, facilities, and security teams to work from the same version of reality.The future of real estate won't belong to whoever deploys the most sensors. It'll belong to organizations that can connect physical assets, digital systems, and human behavior into one operating model.
What we'll explore 🗺️:🟢 The early warning signs that connected building portfolios need stronger governance🟢 Lessons commercial real estate can borrow from traditional IT governance, and where the analogy breaks down🟢 How decision-making and accountability shift once an operating model is in place🟢 Practical advice for leaders chasing ROI while underestimating riskWho should join? Owners, operators, asset and property managers, CIOs, CTOs, and the vendors, and consultants, who supply them.No sales pitches ❌. No product demos ❌. Just candid, experience-based perspectives from people who have lived it ✅.
We spend a lot of time in commercial real estate talking about technology, but very little time discussing how decisions actually get made.In this episode, we sit down with Lachlan Macquarrie, a former asset manager, educator of asset managers, and someone who now operates on the front lines of CRE technology.It was a candid look at: Why smart building initiatives stall before they start How misaligned incentives between asset managers, property managers, and vendors quietly kill good ideas Where risk perception outweighs actual risk And why “more technology” has never been the answerLachlan shares some real stories from inside portfolios, moments where things should have worked, but didn’t. And what separates the few that actually break through.One theme is clear. Most owners and operators don’t lack solutions. They lack alignment, ownership, and a model that simplifies complexity. If you’ve ever wondered why progress in CRE tech feels slower than it should be, this conversation will hit home.
What happens to your smart building ROI when nobody owns the risk? 🤔 CRE Portfolios 🏢 are getting more connected, but governance isn't keeping up. Cybersecurity gaps, unclear ownership, and missing operating models are quietly killing 🔪💸 the returns that justified the investment in the first place!In this podcast 🎥 episode, we were joined by Cecilia A. Li, CIO at Urban Edge Properties, to unpack 📦 why smart building ROI is a risk management problem, not a technology problem!What we discussed 🎓:🟢 The early signals that your building technology needs stronger governance before it stalls or creates risk🟢 What traditional IT governance can teach CRE leaders who are scaling connected portfolios🟢 What actually changes when a clear operating model is in place, in decision-making, risk management, and day-to-day operations🟢 How experienced leaders prevent performance from drifting as they scale🟢 The governance blind spots that CIOs and technology leaders say catch their peers off guard
line item.✅ How insurers are quietly thinning coverage in ways you might not notice.✅ The rise of captive insurance programs, and what your buildings need to qualify.✅ Real examples of technology reducing premiums and maintaining coverage access.✅ The 3 steps an owner can take starting tomorrow.
but your systems aren't converged or secured.This isn't theory. It's real implementation, real savings, real ROI!
Devon Newton shares how Stiles Property Management escaped the "Efficiency Paralysis Cycle" and generated measurable savings across their portfolio.The "Efficiency Paralysis Cycle" - Why Most Buildings Never See ROI: Low visibility into building performance Lack of CRE tech expertise Unproven ROI projections Budget constraints that keep savings stuckHard Numbers, Real Results: $300,000 CapEx savings on distributed antenna systems $52,000+ annual energy savings potential across 5 specific optimizations* $95,000 in additional savings opportunities identified at their second propertyDevon manages 116 properties across the Southeast USA for Stiles, a portfolio that's 95% third-party owned, meaning every dollar saved directly impacts client relationships and renewals. This isn't theory. These are real projects, real savings, real ROI!
In episode 40 of Sh*t You Wish Your Building Did, we dive deep into the unvarnished realities of running a PropTech startup with Michael Grant, founder of Metrikus and co-creator of Smart Buildings Boot Camp.Michael shares hard-earned insights from 6 years in the trenches, covering everything from fundraising in 2025 to why partnerships in real estate are so much harder than other industries.What You'll Learn:Why PropTech sales cycles can stretch 12+ months and how to shorten themThe shift in VC funding since the 2021-2022 "bubble" burstWhy hardware can kill deals, and software-only solutions winThe reality behind recent PropTech acquisitions Strategic advice for founders at different stagesWhy customer champions are everything in this industryResources Mentioned:Smart Buildings Boot Camp https://smartbuildingbootcamp.com/Subscribe to Memoori for more PropTech insights https://memoori.com/subscription/

For Episode 33, we were joined by Nick Hunn for an in-depth discussion on the UK Government's smart metering project, which began in 2009.Role forward 15 years, and by some quirk of fate, the same guy from 2009, Ed Miliband, is now back in charge of UK Energy Policy. So, spurred on by Nick's article (linked below), it seemed like the ideal time to look back at the smart metering project, what went wrong, and what it might mean for UK Net Zero goals.
For Episode 32, we were joined by Mazen Jamal for an in-depth discussion on the business case for indoor air quality (IAQ).A whole body of scientific research now shows that CO2 levels impact cognitive function. Yet, IAQ often seems like an afterthought for smart building technology projects. Is it just reality that IAQ is lower in the technology “pecking order” than energy management, occupancy analytics, artificial intelligence, fire detection, etc, and therefore doesn't get the same investment?Follow Mazen Jamal on LinkedIn Here - https://www.linkedin.com/in/mazenjamal/
