EPISODE 400: Imagine managing your project with construction technology solutions that complement your business needs\u2013it\u2019s like efficiency and collaboration on the next level.\xa0But how do we inspire people to become paperless builders?

In this week\u2019s episode, my co-host Nathan Wood and I sit down with Hamzah Shanbari, an avid listener of our show and now the Director of Innovation at Haskell. He\u2019s here to talk about Dysruptek\u2019s approach to technology evaluation and implementation in the industry and how it drives innovation.

Dysruptek is Haskell\u2019s venture arm, dedicated to scouting, piloting, and investing in emerging construction technologies and capitalizing on Haskell\u2019s diverse employee base.

Hamzah shares his journey to becoming Haskell\u2019s Director of Innovation, highlighting the importance of culture in his transformation. He also breaks down Dysruptek\u2019s innovative and strategic process, the pros and cons of building or buying technology, and more.\xa0
