15 AGO 2026 · There is no shortage of technically brilliant companies in architecture, engineering and construction. They deliver complex projects safely, on time and within budget. And yet some of them still struggle to win the right work.
Why?
Because technical expertise is not the same as market differentiation.
We explore this question in today's episode with Tiffany Quinn, a marketing professional with decades of experience in sales and AEC marketing specifically.
Her argument is simple, but uncomfortable for an industry that has historically allowed technical competence and relationships to do most of the selling: Your technical expertise is an input. It is not the output your client is buying.
And once you accept that, marketing starts to look very different.
What you'll learn from today's episode of Inventing Construction:
- Why technical expertise is not enough to generate work
- What are the biggest marketing mistakes in AEC?
- How to win the right work without being the cheapest
- Why marketing and recruitment are now connected
- What can AEC firms do tomorrow to improve?

What you'll learn from today's episode of Inventing Construction:
- Which parts of Ukraine that are most damaged
- The current plans to rebuild Ukraine
- Private capital and investment opportunities
- Labour shortages and the timeline for rebuilding
- Whether Ukraine can rebuild sustainably

15 LUG 2026 · Data centres are being planned at a scale the construction industry has never seen before. But between the ambition and the finished facilities sits one important question:
Can the construction industry actually deliver all of them?
In this episode, Ross sat down with Garry Connolly, Founder of Digital Infrastructure Ireland, to discuss Ireland’s role in the international data centre market and the wider challenges facing digital infrastructure across Europe.
Ireland presents a particularly interesting paradox.
Irish contractors, specialists and consultants have developed some of the strongest data centre experience in Europe. The top Irish contractors, with data centre experience, now generate between 40% and 80% of their revenue outside Ireland.
They have the expertise. They have the reputation. They have the international demand.
Yet Ireland itself is struggling to deliver the housing, transport, energy and digital infrastructure it needs.
What you'll learn from today's episode of Inventing Construction:
- Why there is no digital economy
- How we can scale data centre delivery
- The steps needed to modernise Ireland's infrastructure
- Why we shouldn't have called it the 'Cloud'
- Explaining the “why” of digital infrastructure

1 LUG 2026 · The construction industry is known for deadlines, pressure, difficult conversations, high expectations, commercial risk, long hours, and environments that can sometimes feel negative, reactive, or ego-driven. But what if pressure is not only created by the project, the client, the deadline, or the people around us? What if pressure is also created by how we interpret, carry, and react to those situations?
We've invited on John Douglas (Ross' coach) to discuss how mindset, beliefs, emotions, ego, fear, responsibility, gratitude, and self-awareness shape the way leaders experience their work. All in the attempt to help you lead better under pressure.
What you'll learn from today's episode of Inventing Construction:
- How to build freedom instead of burnout
- Where pressure actually comes from
- How to identify and replace beliefs that limit growth
- Why this conversation matters for the industry

15 GIU 2026 · The construction industry often treats handover as the end of the project, instead of what it really is: the beginning of a building’s operational life.
A lot of building data is created every year, and most of it is lost the day the building opens. The moment the building is handed over to operations, most project information becomes surprisingly difficult to use, or is delivered too late.
In today's episode, we speak with Jonas Brandenborg, an ICT coordinator at Bygningsstyrelsen (The Danish Building and Property Agency). His experience highlights a simple but uncomfortable truth about the challenges of handovers: the problem isn’t a lack of data.
It’s a lack of planning for how that data will actually be used by facilities management.
What you'll learn from today's episode of Inventing Construction:
- The industry wide problems with construction handovers
- What is a good digital handover (what you need to know)
- How to plan a succesful digital handover
- The changes coming to facility management

1 GIU 2026 · The reality is this: our buildings are full of surplus energy. And we waste most of it.
Across offices, hotels, hospitals, and data centres, enormous amounts of heat are generated every single day. Ventilation systems blow it away. Cooling systems spend electricity to remove it. Mechanical systems operate in isolation, unaware that the building next door might need exactly the energy being thrown away.
So perhaps the question isn’t how do we produce more energy? But how do we stop wasting the energy we already have?
In today's podcast episode, we speak with Nicolas Kastbjerg, CEO of Energy Machines, about a different way of thinking about building energy systems. One where buildings are not just consumers of energy, but active participants in the energy system itself.
Or put simply: Buildings as energy machines.
What you'll learn from today's episode of Inventing Construction:
- What is energy as a service?
- What are the low-hanging fruit of energy efficiency?
- Concrete examples of hidden energy waste
- Regulatory and market barriers to energy transformation
- The mindset shift needed to change our energy system

15 MAG 2026 · Walk onto almost any construction site today and you’ll find the same paradox.
Projects worth tens or hundreds of millions are being delivered with cutting-edge design tools, advanced materials, and increasingly strict sustainability targets. Yet when it comes to documenting what actually happens on site, many teams still fall back on the same tools they’ve used for decades.
Spreadsheets. Emails. Folders full of PDFs. And hours upon hours of manual data entry.
This isn’t just inefficient. It’s becoming a serious problem.Because across Europe, construction companies are now being asked to document something they’ve rarely tracked before in detail: the carbon impact of the construction phase itself.
And that changes everything.
In today's episode, we spoke with Oline Stærke, founder and CEO of the SaaS platform acembee, about one of the most underestimated challenges emerging on construction sites: collecting and managing LCA data during execution – LCA A4 and A5.
What you'll learn from today's episode of Inventing Construction:
- How we collect on-site LCA data today
- Why you should involve all stakeholders in digital solutions
- acembee: Visual tracking of project carbon targets
- What data is realistically possible to track today?
- Advice for contractors facing carbon documentation requirements

1 MAG 2026 · Cost and carbon are measured in two different worlds. Clients want lower carbon. But decisions are based on cost.
Not because they don’t care. Not because they lack ambition. But because the information rarely arrives aligned.
In many construction projects, cost consultants work in one silo. Sustainability consultants work in another. They use different assumptions. Different structures. Different timing. And always brought into the process too late.
The result?
Two reports. Two numbers. Two conversations. And one client trying to make a high-stakes decision without a shared factual foundation.
At KOSMOS, we align cost and carbon. This leads to confident, fast, and fact-based decision-making on our projects. In today’s episode Elia and Anders (from KOSMOS) discuss how you can align cost and carbon on your projects – using an integrated digital quantity surveying approach.
What you'll learn from today's episode of Inventing Construction:
- Why having strong ICT requirements changes the game
- Working with data before a 3D model exists
- Why communication over blame culture is vital
- How to assess carbon at business case stage
- Why embedding cost & carbon in design is unconventional
- How it all leads to better decision-making

15 APR 2026 · 7 out of 9 planetary boundaries have already been crossed. That’s seven critical global processes that regulate the stability and resilience of the Earth.
For years, sustainability in construction has focused primarily on carbon. But planetary boundaries introduce something far more systemic. They redefine the limits within which humanity, and therefore our industry can safely operate.
In today's episode of Inventing Construction, we sit down with Karl-Martin, senior advisor in architecture, strategic planning and innovation, to explore a difficult but necessary idea:
What if planetary boundaries are not just an environmental framework, but the new building code of Earth?
What you'll learn from today's episode of Inventing Construction:
- What are Planetary Boundaries?
- The current blind spots of sustainable construction
- What would Planetary Construction look like?
- Introducing "Planetary Pathways"
- A case study: Calculating a building’s full planetary footprint

1 APR 2026 · If you read the headlines, you might think data centres are the problem. They use energy. They take up space. They create “just a few jobs.” They’re described as grey, windowless boxes that quietly sit in industrial zones, consuming power and giving little back.
But here’s the uncomfortable truth:
If you switched them off tomorrow, modern society would end.
In today's podcast episode, we sit down with Merima Dzanic Chief Operating Officer at the Danish Data Centre Industry, to discuss one of the most misunderstood sectors in construction and infrastructure today.
What you'll learn from today's episode of Inventing Construction:
- Why data centres are so critical
- Why Denmark became a data centre hub
- The grid problem
- What makes data centre construction unique?
- Why AI is disrupting the data centre industry
- The industry branding challenge
