Digitising construction: What it takes to get it right

How do you transform a business when every project is different, supply chains span thousands of organisations and margins leave little room for error? In this episode of Hub & Spoken, Jason Foster, CEO & Founder of Cynozure, is joined by Tom Gould, Director of Digital Transformation at Skanska UK, to explore what it takes to digitise construction. Tom explains how Skanska is working towards consistent processes across projects, connecting its technology and capturing data that can help teams spot risks earlier. They discuss why these foundations matter for AI adoption, how uncontrolled usage costs could erode profits and the challenge of turning individual time savings into measurable business value. The conversation also explores digital twins, including Tom's experience of achieving energy savings of up to 30%, and the potential for robotics to improve safety and address workforce shortages. Throughout, Tom returns to the people behind the change: involving them early, understanding their concerns and giving them space to learn. A practical conversation for leaders navigating transformation in complex organisations.
