The Intelligent Building: Founders on AI Reshaping the Built Environment

​Join PropTech Collective Vancouver for a founder-to-founder fireside conversation with two builders working at opposite ends of the real estate stack: a former carpenter who saw construction labour running on spreadsheets and phone calls, and a structural engineer who watched bridges get cleared by inspectors while his models told a different story.

​Refreshments and drinks are included. Stay after for the industry mixer! Whether you're a developer, operator, investor, or builder, this is your chance to connect with the people driving that transformation and with the broader PropTech community gathering in Vancouver for Web Summit!

​Panelists

​Dr. Kamyab Zandi | Co-Founder & CEO, Timezyx

​Dr. Zandi is a structural engineer and researcher turned founder who co-founded Timezyx to bring AI-powered Structural Digital Twins to civil infrastructure. Drawing on over two decades of research at institutions including MIT, Stanford, and Chalmers University of Technology, he's now applying that expertise to help the industry better understand, monitor, and manage the built environment in real time.

​
John Reid | Co-Founder & CRO, Faber Technologies

​John is a former carpenter turned tech founder who co-founded Faber Technologies in 2017 after working at DoorDash sparked an idea: what if construction labour had its own two-sided marketplace? The result is Faber Connect, a platform now trusted by major contractors to source and deploy skilled tradespeople on demand.
