Building Smarter in the Digital Age-with Joe Schmidt from Microcad

Episode 198-On this episode of The Build Zone Podcast, brought to you by Attain Technologies, the construction industry is changing faster than a contractor can misplace a tape measure, and technology is playing a bigger role than ever in how projects are designed, managed, and delivered. On this episode of The Build Zone Podcast , we're sitting down with Joe Schmidt, Sales Executive at MicroCAD , to explore how technology, innovation, and the right digital tools are helping construction professionals build smarter, work more efficiently, and stay competitive in an ever-evolving industry. If you've ever wondered how technology can help take a construction project from a great idea to a finished product without creating a digital version of a jobsite headache, this conversation is for you! Joe brings his perspective as a sales executive working with customers to understand their needs and connect them with technology solutions that support their business goals. At MicroCAD, the focus is on helping organizations navigate the world of design, engineering, and construction technology. From improving workflows to supporting collaboration, the right tools can make a meaningful difference in how teams approach their work. We'll dig into the growing relationship between technology and the skilled trades, including how digital solutions are influencing the way construction professionals plan, design, communicate, and execute projects. We'll also explore the challenges companies face when adopting new technology, why getting employees on board is essential, and how businesses can make smarter decisions when investing in tools designed to improve productivity. And because this is The Build Zone, we're not stopping at software and sales strategies. We'll talk about the people behind the technology, the importance of understanding what customers really need, and why the construction industry must continue embracing innovation while never losing sight of the craftsmanship, experience, and human connections that make this industry great. Could technology help close productivity gaps, improve communication between project teams, and give contractors a competitive advantage? How can companies make sure their technology investments deliver real value instead of becoming another expensive tool collecting dust? And what does the future hold for an industry that has traditionally relied on experience, practical knowledge, and a good old-fashioned problem-solving mindset? Joe Schmidt joins us to tackle these questions and more. Whether you're a contractor, construction executive, designer, engineer, technology enthusiast, or someone passionate about the future of the skilled trades, this episode offers a fresh look at the intersection of construction and technology.

Ronnie and Suzanna share how Boston BuildHERS was founded with a clear purpose: to elevate women in construction while delivering high-quality work that stands toe-to-toe with any firm in the industry.

It means representing a broader movement, advocating for equity in hiring and contracting, and proving every day that diverse teams drive innovation and success.

Who We Choose to See: A Conversation with the Creator of People Worth Caring About

On this episode of The Build Zone Podcast, sponsored by the ABC Self Insured Group, we sit down with Peter Murphy Lewis , the creator of the powerful docuseries People Worth Caring About —and fair warning, this conversation might stick with you long after the episode ends. Peter isn’t chasing clicks or clout. He’s chasing truth. Through People Worth Caring About , he turns the camera toward individuals and communities that are too often overlooked, misunderstood, or written off entirely. The result is storytelling that’s raw, human, and deeply uncomfortable in the best possible way. These aren’t feel-good highlight reels. They’re honest portraits of people navigating hardship, resilience, dignity, and hope—sometimes all at once. We talk about where the idea for the docuseries came from and what pushed Peter to pick up a camera and start asking questions that many of us avoid. He shares what it’s like to earn trust in spaces where trust has been broken, and why listening—really listening—is the most important skill a storyteller can have. Peter also opens up about the emotional toll of documenting difficult realities, and how he balances empathy with responsibility when telling someone else’s story. This episode goes beyond filmmaking. We dig into why stories matter, how media shapes who we decide is “worth” our time and attention, and what happens when you slow down long enough to see people as more than labels. Peter challenges the idea that impact requires massive platforms, reminding us that meaningful change often starts with simply caring—and acting on it. If you’re interested in storytelling, social impact, or just becoming a more aware human being, this conversation is for you. It’s thoughtful, challenging, and refreshingly honest. People Worth Caring About isn’t just a title—it’s a call to action. And after this episode, you may find yourself looking at the world, and the people in it, a little differently. Grab your headphones, lean in, and get ready for a conversation that proves some of the most important stories are the ones we don’t hear often enough.

The Power of Giving Back in Construction with Erland Construction

Episode 189-In this episode, we sit down with Chris Landry and Nicole Harrison of Erland Construction and the Erland Foundation for a powerful conversation about building more than projects—building people, opportunities, and long-term impact in the construction industry. Erland Construction has long been recognized as a leader in commercial construction, known for delivering complex projects while maintaining a strong people-first culture. But behind the job sites and schedules is a deeper commitment to workforce development, community investment, and giving back. That commitment comes to life through the Erland Foundation, an organization dedicated to expanding access to education, career pathways, and support systems for individuals pursuing futures in the skilled trades and beyond. Chris and Nicole share how the Foundation came to be, why Erland believes philanthropy and business should go hand in hand, and how intentional investment in people strengthens not only communities, but the industry as a whole. We talk about the real challenges facing construction today—from workforce shortages to awareness gaps—and how partnerships, mentorship, and education play a critical role in closing those gaps. This conversation also dives into the human side of leadership. Chris and Nicole discuss what it means to lead with purpose, how values-driven organizations attract and retain talent, and why giving employees a chance to be part of something bigger than a single project matters more than ever. They offer insight into how companies of any size can create meaningful impact, whether through foundations, community partnerships, or simply showing up consistently for the next generation of workers. If you’re passionate about the future of construction, workforce development, or corporate responsibility done right, this episode delivers real-world examples and practical inspiration. It’s a reminder that the strongest foundations—on and off the job site—are built with intention, collaboration, and a commitment to people. Tune in to hear how Erland Construction and the Erland Foundation are helping shape a stronger, more inclusive future for the industry—and why investing in people is the most important build of all.
