Fischer: Low-Trust Construction Projects Drive Early Tech Adoption
“I have seen more initial adoption of advanced technologies in projects with little trust. Somebody says, Ooh, this is a really good tool. I can defend myself if necessary. I can be on top of the food chain because I have all the information that the others don…”

Fischer: Study of 19 Global Construction Projects Found Zero Feedback Loops
“So in a study of 19 projects from 19 different companies who just span the globe, and our research has shown that people don't have feedback loops, period. I mean, just informal. And then, and certainly not on a project, not from week to week, not on projects,…”

Fischer: Fixing Construction Inefficiencies Could Free Up 4% of Global GDP
“You know, if you can cut 20% of the rework, and then you could make construction 20% more efficient in other ways, which seems entirely within the realm of feasibility. You're talking improving construction by 40%. In most economies, let's say a rough number i…”

Fischer: Design Phase Uncertainty Multiplies During Construction Execution
“Any uncertainty in information that exists from the design phase gets multiplied in construction. It doesn't get simpler.”
Assertion Not checkable as stated
Fischer: Automated Construction Site Sensing Only Emerged Recently
“The big difference really in the last two years has been the ability to sense what's going on on a construction site. That's something we have never had in the history of construction, right?”

Fischer: Construction Will Eventually Match Baseball's Level of Data Analytics
“Eventually we will have all of this data, you know, like a baseball coach has this kind of data for who to send out for pitching in various situations, but we don't have it in construction.”

Fischer: Objective Site Data Builds Trust Between Construction Partners
“In my experience, the technology actually builds trust. Everybody functions on the beliefs and the things they remember. If we have the data, we can start to gain trust in each other.”

Fischer: Construction AI Improves Project Predictability and Reduces Time to Market
“Business perspective, I think this technology does really two things. It improves the predictability, and the second thing is it reduces time to market.”

Fischer: Delayed Construction Timelines Force Expensive Technological Rework
“If your time to market is too long, the technology will change, then you have to do rework because of that.”
Prediction Not checkable as stated
Fischer: AI Will Eliminate Wasted Effort Across Construction Stakeholders
“We see just all of these wasted efforts, frankly, from many, many players, from subs to GCs to owners. Designers. We see all these wasted efforts that will go away.”
Assertion Supported
Fischer: Steel Structure Test Cut Design Feedback to Hours
“We did actually a test of that for steel structure. We were able to get the data pulled together, and we were able to cut the cycle for feedback from eight weeks that you have today in terms of creating a design, you know, getting the estimates for fabrication…”

Fischer: Construction Uniquely Requires Managing Continuously Changing Physical Workspaces
“But in manufacturing, you don't have to deal with the workspace. In construction, you have to allow for the workspace that a work crew needs, and the space is changing over time.”
