SKUR’s Adam Cohen on Increasing Productivity in Construction
Summary
His software platform, SKUR, allows users to compare as-built conditions to design intent and catch relevant deviations before they impact dependencies. Curious to learn more about SKUR, BuiltWorlds sat down with Adam Cohen to discuss his platform and insights into the built industry. When I got into the venture capital business in the 90’s, I really took on my investment thesis from Clayton M. Christensen’s work, The Innovator’s Dilemma, which argues that every industry will be disrupted by technology. Through a series of discussions with my friend Bill Ibbs, a professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of California in Berkeley, told me what was happening in construction. I guess more accurately, what wasn’t happening in construction: the incredibly inefficient market, the stall around productivity, and the continued issues with huge cost.
