How AI Is Fixing the Biggest Bottleneck in Construction

What happens when one of AI's leading voices sits down with one of construction's leading innovators?

In this episode of Eye on A.I., host Craig Smith interviews Togal.AI CTO Olek Paraska about why construction productivity has remained stagnant for decades, why preconstruction is the industry's biggest opportunity for improvement, and how AI-assisted takeoffs are transforming the way estimators work.

The conversation explores computer vision, agentic AI, human-in-the-loop workflows, and the importance of building AI that solves real problems instead of adding complexity. Whether you're curious about the future of construction technology or want a deeper understanding of how AI is reshaping estimating, this episode offers valuable insights from the people building it.
