Exploring Contracts, Relationships, and Procurement in Construction with Katy Fairley (Fairley Strategies)EP101

Send us a text

We are  joined by Katy Fairley who took an unusual career path from politics to construction consulting. Our dialogue delves into her experiences, particularly her insight into procurement processes and the necessity for collaboration. Later on, we discuss the potential of technology, notably AI, in contract management.  We mention a software called Document Crunch which utilizes AI to analyze contracts - a valuable tool in the industry but not the be-all and end-all.

Lastly, we take a hard look at relationships and power dynamics within the construction industry. Why are job sites often so adversarial and how can we bring about change?  In our final segment, we scrutinize the generational differences impacting productivity at job sites and emphasize the need for respect for field workers. So, sit back and get ready for an engaging and insightful conversation!
