Construction is entering the Age of AI.
Trillions are being invested in data centers, energy infrastructure, and digital transformation.
Yet construction productivity is still 30% lower than 1990.
In this episode of ConTech Exec, Robert Zimmerman sits down with Todd Zabelle, Founder of Strategic Project Solutions and the Project Production Institute, to break down:
• Why projects are production systems — but aren’t managed like them
• The real difference between activity and flow
• How Taylorism still shapes modern project delivery
• Why maximizing trade utilization actually hurts performance
• What AI can’t fix in construction
• Why megaprojects keep failing despite better software
If you care about:
AI in construction
Construction productivity
Project management
Lean construction
Data center construction
Capital project delivery
This conversation is foundational.
Construction doesn’t have a labor problem.
It has a flow problem.
And AI won’t fix what leadership won’t face.
