um yeah so it was understanding that business side of it all was which is which is what clicked for me um and then fortunately that helped me a little more than i think your average subcontractor when i was on that side of the fence
Troy SimonHOST
train i've had this conversation a couple different ways with uh some prior guests about you know subcontractors and the whole three bids mentality or five bids whatever you know whatever the you know number is per per gc i mean is it a problem our gc is kind of creating this problem you know with it seems like with products like any guy building connected and others you know maybe that are out there that you know you can send as many bid invites out really for free as you want to subs does things like that just make this whole three business does it make the mentality worse i mean does it from a subcontractor's perspective i mean do they know most of the time that i mean I think it's a pretty good assumption.
Troy SimonHOST

The goal, right, is we all have our companies and we want to run successful businesses, right? And I'm sure GCs have some type of system that they analyze their RFPs against.
Ryan ElderGUEST
One of the problems we had was, you know, we are on Building Connected and PlanHub and invites through Procore.
Ryan ElderGUEST
And we had just, you know, we had our good clients, but It was, hey, we just want to we're just kicking bids out.
Darren BechtelGUEST
Um, but like PlanGrid was the, the first real venture success that, that, um, um, really got people excited.
Darren BechtelGUEST
Um, the, to what is the PlanGrid today? Um, you know, PlanGrid has evolved and when Autodesk bought PlanGrid and bought BuildingConnected and bought, um, uh, Vela Systems became BIM 360 and a number of other acquisitions, they were piecing together, um, what is now the, um, part of their like Autodesk Construction Cloud, um, solution.
Darren BechtelGUEST
Um, um, and building out that platform of like a full suite of products to support the work that's happening in the field and connecting like the field and the trailer.
Darren BechtelGUEST
Um, and so PlanGrid's very much all part of that platform.
