In this episode, the inaugural Weekly Site Report, James and Christian dig into current news, topics and trends related to Construction, Culture and the Built World.

Something the hosts have wanted to do for quite some time, they kick things off by exploring the groundbreaking construction tech investment by EllisDon, a leading, Canadian-based general contracting company investing in construction tech startups. They highlight the potential impact of this move on project efficiency and sustainability and its influence on fostering a culture of innovation within the industry. Moving on, they take a deep dive into the world of robots on the jobsite, focusing on SuperDroid Robotics and their cutting-edge and economically priced robots designed for construction sites. They discuss the advantages and applications of these robots, along with potential challenges and the future prospects of this technology. Lastly, the hosts tackle the somewhat polarizing topic of the 15-minute city, examining both sides of the debate and discussing the benefits, challenges, and potential for hybrid models. Tune in most Tuesdays to the Weekly Site Report for more engaging discussions around construction, culture, and the built world.
