ConTech On Site Podcast

The construction industry isn’t just about #bricks and #mortar — it’s about innovation, resilience, and solving one of society's biggest challenges: Who will build our future? In this episode of the Contech On Site podcast, I sit down with Alice Leung, investor at Brick & Mortar Ventures, to explore how #technology is transforming #construction and why solving the labor shortage is more critical than ever. Construction has long been misunderstood—viewed as a “dirty job” or stuck in the past. But the reality? Construction technology is reshaping the field, from robots on job sites to AI, 3D-printing and other groundbreaking solutions. Highlights from the conversation: ✅ How companies can leverage technology to attract a new generation of workers and shift perceptions about the industry ✅ How robots and prefabrication are addressing the skilled labor shortage ✅ Why construction is still the second least-digitized industry—and how that’s changing ✅ The untapped potential of AI and automation to streamline operations and ensure safety “AI isn’t going to build your homes, but neither are college degrees. The future depends on skilled labor, robotics, and companies bold enough to innovate.” The construction industry stands at a pivotal moment. With a mix of innovation, investment, and cultural shifts, it can become an exciting space for careers and technology—and the cornerstone of the housing solutions we desperately need.

Don't miss out on our latest Podcast. In this episode of @Contech Onsite, we welcomed Alon Peretz, whose journey from rock climber to startup founder to working in Israel's leading ConTech - Construction Innovation Center accelerator offers a unique perspective on breaking through barriers in construction tech. Alon shared his hard-earned insights on: ✅ How founding a startup taught him humility and that you can't change the industry. ✅ Why advocacy, not education, is key to gaining trust and buy-in from site workers and managers. ✅ The critical role of honesty in tech—why “overpromising” early-stage tech can erode trust across the sector. ✅ The untapped potential of government projects to serve as a proving ground for construction tech. Listen in to hear Alon’s powerful lessons learned on navigating the intersection of construction and technology and why authentic connections are just as valuable as technical solutions in this industry.
