  • Legendary Tier Podcast

    If you’re even remotely interested in the world around you this podcast is for you. I’m not involved in construction or architecture but it’s my podcast highlight of the week. The content is informative but light if you’re not in the industry you won’t be perplexed. The banter with the lads adds that extra layer, think Top Gear for construction and architecture.

    Amazing pod. But needs a video recording as well. Tough to immerse fully when the mad lads are talking about a structure that the listener can’t see

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The 200th Episode Extravaganza - #200
Q: Would you ever consider starting a second channel to cover Liam's home renovations?
The hosts lean toward not pursuing a second channel; the majority view is that a shorter form (shorts) or a series format may be more appropriate than a full channel.
Listener Q&A Special - #197
Q: For people who aren't aware of Reality Capture, tell us what it is and why it's important to capture real-world conditions directly in project management software.
Reality Capture lets you capture 360 images and videos from the job site and tie them directly to drawings and models, providing a time-stamped, verifiable record of what happened on site and when, which reduces ambiguity and helps identify root causes for delays or issues.
This Subway Will Change Canada's Most Important City - #190
Q: For people who aren't aware of what Reality Capture is, tell us a little bit about what Reality Capture is and why it's important to capture real world conditions directly in your project management software.
Nathan explains that Reality Capture allows on-site 360 images and videos to be collected with minimal new training, linked to drawings and models, helping identify root causes and track progress over time, which is essential for managing complex projects and improving collaboration with AI and automation.
New York’s 175 Park Avenue Moves Forward - #188
Q: How does Trimble ProjectSight help on construction sites?
ProjectSight provides full project control and a seamless link between office and field, enabling better documentation, planning communication, and real-time status updates while reducing the burden of implementation.
New York’s 175 Park Avenue Moves Forward - #188
Q: What makes 175 Park Avenue different from other Midtown towers?
It combines office, hotel, and retail space with trees in the lobby and aims to adjust the Midtown East zoning to create a new mixed-use skyline element, though opinions vary on its impact on sightlines to the Chrysler Building.
