Dragging Construction Into the Future - Tristan Wilson ( DT 450)
About this episode
Tristan Wilson discusses the challenges and innovations in construction technology and the need for change in the industry.
June 11, 2026 Dragging Construction Into the Future - Tristan Wilson ( DT 450) Tristan Wilson is the founder of Edgevanta, an estimating automation software built for civil contractors, a former road construction operator, and author of a weekly newsletter covering construction technology and industry trends. He spent years on paving crews watching estimators hand-enter numbers into spreadsheets and wonder why nobody had fixed it yet — so he built the fix himself. He reveals why construction tech keeps failing contractors, why the industry is at a once-in-a-generation inflection point, and what it actually takes to drag one of the oldest industries in the world into the future.
