“We have been collecting data for years. We just sit on this gold mine and do nothing with it.” – Brett King

In this episode of Building Stories - The Podcast, powered by Deep Space, we sit down with Brett King, Director of Industry Transformation at Procore, to talk about the real problem with construction tech, data that never gets used.

Brett shares his journey from South Africa to the UK, working on major construction projects, and why he made the leap from contractor to construction tech. He dives into the disconnect between digital tools and real-world site workflows, why point solutions are failing the industry, and how we can finally start turning data into action.

We discuss:

• Why construction still struggles to turn data into better decisions
• The biggest mistakes companies make when adopting new tech
• Why quality needs to be a proactive strategy, not just defect management
• The importance of collaboration between design and construction teams
• What AI needs to do to truly make an impact on-site

If you have ever questioned why construction still operates in silos, why tech adoption is slow, or why the same mistakes keep happening, this episode is for you.

“You needed the scars on your back and the calluses on your hands to really understand the problem.” – Ricky Sevta

In this special episode ofBuilding Stories - The Podcast, powered by Deep Space, we bring together the founding team to share the story behind Deep Space, why they took the leap, and what they’ve learned along the way.

Ricky Sevta, Michael Clothier, Sudeshan Mudali, and Luke Johnson pull back the curtain on thechallenges of building a tech company in construction, from the early days of sketching ideas over beers to scaling an industry-first AI-driven platform.

We discuss:

• Why experience matters- and why a couple of grads with a big idea wouldn’t have survived in construction tech
• The scars of building a business- hard lessons from past ventures and why timing is everything
• The Deep Space mission-how AI is changing the game for site teams, designers, and asset owners
• The industry shift-why construction can’t afford to wait any longer to embrace AI-driven decision-making
• How they are solving the complexity problem- less tech, more action, and making AI work in the real world

A raw and unfiltered look at what it takes to build a company that is set toredefine construction technology.

“We are in the middle of it. If you fast-forward 10 years, you’ll look back at now as a watershed moment.” – Bilal Succar In this episode of Building Stories - The Podcast, powered by Deep Space, we’re joined by Bilal Succar, a globally recognised specialist consultant, performance assessor, and independent researcher in digital transformation and BIM. Bilal shares his unique journey from starting in business and interior design to becoming a leading figure in BIM adoption and digital transformation policies. He reflects on the evolution of construction technology, the critical role of AI, and the challenges of standardising processes across a fragmented industry. We discuss: • Why BIM terminology evolves but the foundations remain the same • The challenges of connecting digital tools with real-world site workflows

• How AI will reshape construction competencies and roles • The importance of integrated supply chains for long-term learning and efficiency • Why technology alone isn’t enough, process and value are key This episode offers actionable insights for anyone passionate about improving efficiency and innovation in construction.‍ Key Sections: From Interior Design to Digital Transformation – 02:24 Why Labels Change but the Core Stays – 04:18 AI and the Next Generation of Spatial Tools – 09:45 The Importance of Process in Technology Adoption – 20:28 Why Integrated Supply Chains Are Crucial – 26:54 Change Agents and Their Role in Industry Transformation – 37:04 Building Stories is powered by Deep Space – Mission Critical Construction AI.‍
