Episode 16: AI Agents Reinvent Construction
This week on Built This Week, Jordan Metzner and Sam Nadler sit down with Tristan Wilson, CEO of Edgevanta, an AI startup that brings automation to one of the world’s most traditional industries: construction. From parsing 1,200-page bid packages to predicting pricing with AI agents, Edgevanta is helping estimators work faster, smarter, and more profitably. Then, the hosts dive into the week’s biggest AI news: Nvidia’s $2B investment into Elon Musk’s xAI, OpenAI’s projected $1 trillion infrastructure spend, and how AI adoption is accelerating across industries, from consulting giants to construction firms.
