What this episode covers

Scott Wilcox, founder of W. Build, and Matt Perrott, co-founder of BuildPass, discuss their approach to integrating AI into construction operations, focusing on a framework called DMISA (Direction, Measure, Incentivize, Systemize, Automate). They detail a specific success where BuildPass reduced invoice processing costs from $5–$10 to half a cent using agents, and explain how W. Build is using its WVC accelerator to bring trade partners into this AI-enabled ecosystem. The conversation emphasizes that the new competitive moat is velocity and alignment, with 2026 being a critical year for choosing between legacy systems and AI-driven abundance.

    Can AI revolutionize EPC?

    Alex Modon, co-founder and CEO of Unlimited Industries, explains how his startup uses AI and integrated software to revolutionize Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) for large capital projects like data centers. He argues that traditional EPC firms suffer from misaligned incentives in cost-plus or fixed-price contracts that rely on change orders, leading to cost overruns and delays. By using an AI-native platform to complete 100% of engineering design before securing financing, Unlimited Industries can offer true fixed-price contracts with no change orders, thereby eliminating risk and optimizing costs.
