Every project management software out there promises "real-time visibility." Hussain Arwani was managing 15 to 20 nuclear construction projects at once, and he'll tell you straight: he didn't have it…
So we're talking even with modern day technology, you know, with the pro cores of the world, project management softwares, I'm sure you were using some sort of you know, PM software, correct? To a
Still, though, you don't have that kind of real-time view of what's actually happening on the job site, even with that modern-day technology, as you said.
And this is like the marketing report for every... you know, project management software out there, you know, at some level, like, oh, yeah, again, I get real time visibility into this, but I'm actually talking to a person that's like, yeah, that's probably not really what's going on.
I mean, there's a lot of good tools out there with a lot of good features that give you, you know, different things that are very valuable as well.
But that real time view that, you know, you know, just like knowing what's actually happening on the job site, I have not seen, you know, being implemented so much.
I think there's some tools that are coming to light recently in terms of maybe cameras and some LiDAR applications.
technologies that kind of record what's going on and reflects that into updates.
But I don't believe from what I'm seeing and what I'm hearing, there's not that crazy implementation going on yet, from my experience, at least.
Well, I just wanted to clarify that because, you know, quite honestly, every time I have, I get new founders on air, like it, it seems like the number one marketing piece that they try to try to portray is to say, Oh, you're going to get real time disability for your project management team.
And then, you know, I talked to you, Hussein, and he's like, yeah, that's, I'm out here working for, you know, fairly large, you know, company that builds nuclear projects, you know, and I don't necessarily had those tools.
There's definitely a gap and even outside of nuclear, you know, as a startup founder, I've obviously done a lot of user interviews to even get to a point where I have validated the problem that I have dealt with personally and to even, you know, make sure that it's not just me that experiences it.
And there's a lot of positive feedback from project teams as well as construction teams that this is really an issue and there's not that visibility.
And I believe A big thing to that is that a lot of the tools emerging these days, especially with using AI for real time, are not or are mainly aimed at people sitting in the office and mainly project teams and building those fancy dashboards and these fancy metrics that gives them the information they need.
But they're not necessarily tools that are built for the construction site or the job site for the people that are actually building in the field.
And at the end of the day, getting that information and reflecting it somewhere on a dashboard, that's where the gap
