For our first (I think) repeat guest, we bring back Nathan Wood, from Spectrum AEC and the Executive Director of the Construction Progress Coalition and Tom Stemm from Ryvit, who is also the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the CPC. Both of these gentlemen have a passion for their respective organizations in freeing the data we all collect in the process of executing our projects. So much so that they worked with the AGC XML and the Construction Open Standards Alliance to bring data standardization to our industry.

What would be possible if a Submittal was a Submittal no matter where you existed in the project team or what system you were running? What sort of efficiencies could we gain? How might we more fairly play this game of 3 Card Monty we all play with risk?

These are the types of questions we hope to get answered when we talk to our guests next week on the next Construction DorkCast. Let’s bring in these founding members of the CPC and talk about what happens when we do genuinely take Owners to our data.
