Scott Reynolds - Unifying Building Codes

Is proptech entering a maturing phase as it shifts from digitization of manual processes to adding automation layers, powered largely by AI? Can reducing upstream rework in construction lead to overall improvements in construction efficiency? How did Scott's senior thesis provide an inspiration for experiencing real estate abroad? Why do early stage construction errors lead to compounding issues later in the onsite build process? How does the level of international building codes compare with those in the US? How do AEC practitioners today stay abreast of changes to city, state, and federal building codes? Why have multiple publishers sued UpCodes to prevent them from making this building codes information accessible? How are insurance companies and property management firms using UpCodes in their daily work? Why are states not collaborating to make building codes more aligned around climate resiliency and offsite prefabrication? Scott Reynolds - CEO and co-founder of UpCodes, joins Proptech Espresso to answer these questions and discuss how participating in a summer college program called Bike & Build led him to develop a deep passion for building homes.
