Simulation, Estimation, and the Built World: Redefining Construction in an Age of AI.
Join Ian Veidenheimer (Founder at fab.venture, formerly of Schmidt Futures and Tsao & McKown Architects, now at BuildEngine) and Noah Landow (Founder and CEO at Macktez) for an informal conversation between an expert on the intersection of architecture, technology, finance and the founder of a technology consulting firm.
Ian has spent his career translating bold, creative visions into scalable, high-impact businesses. With a background that spans architecture and high-level tech investment, Ian is uniquely positioned to discuss where real innovation is happening in the overlapping worlds of construction, AI, and architecture.
This discussion will explore the strategic value of incorporating Artificial Intelligence into the architectural and construction lifecycle, moving beyond simple commonplace concepts of automation to more sophisticated applications. Our topics will range from the challenges of securing family office-backed investments for digital infrastructure startups, the process of building teams to turn innovative visions into scalable ventures, and how technologies are creating new opportunities to optimize and automate complex processes like quoting, materials sourcing, and design iteration to deliver massive efficiencies and returns.
Join us at the Macktez office, after work, over light snacks and sips, for a crucial conversation on the investment and technological strategies required to fundamentally transform the architecture and construction industries in the decade ahead.
