QS to Software Founder: Why Construction Needs to Work Smarter, Not Harder (EP 231)
Manage episode 500913818 series 3423373
In this special episode of Own the Build, Paul is a guest on Ross Griffin's Inventing Construction podcast.
The conversation dives deep into Paul’s journey from subcontractor QS to co-founder of C-Link, a software platform built to overhaul procurement and supply chain management in construction. Paul shares raw and honest reflections on why QSs are drowning in admin, how traditional tender processes fail everyone, and what needs to change to give commercial teams the tools and time to lead projects more effectively.
Topics include:
- The inefficiencies baked into modern QS workflows
- The real problem with Excel and “invisible” audit trails
- How SMEs and subcontractors can lead the digital charge
- Why BOQs should make a comeback – and who should own them
- Advice for young QSs entering a fast-evolving profession
This is a practical, no-fluff episode for any QS frustrated by inefficiencies and curious about how tech can actually make life easier.
