In this episode of AEC Trailblazers: The Founders Files, discover how Josh Graham, a visionary in the construction and climate tech industries, is revolutionizing the way we tackle weather-related risks. In this episode, learn about the hidden costs of weather on construction projects and how Josh's groundbreaking startup, EHAB, is using data and AI to help builders weather the storm.
Weather-related disruptions, from extreme rainfall to heatwaves, have long been a major headache for the construction industry. Delays, cost overruns, and safety hazards are just some of the consequences. Recognizing the urgent need for solutions, Josh and his team embarked on a data-driven mission to quantify the financial impact of these disruptions. The results were alarming: weather-related problems accounted for a substantial portion of the industry's challenges, and the risk was only increasing due to climate change.
To combat this growing threat, Josh tells us how they’ve developed advanced software that utilizes machine learning and predictive analytics to analyze weather patterns and forecast potential disruptions. By providing accurate and timely information, they empower construction companies to make informed decisions and take proactive measures to protect their projects.
As climate change continues to accelerate, the need for sustainable and resilient construction practices becomes increasingly urgent. Josh's work at EHAB is a testament to the power of innovation and collaboration. By understanding the hidden costs of weather and leveraging cutting-edge technology, we can build a more resilient and sustainable future for the construction industry.
