Can the construction industry actually deliver all of them? 

In this episode, Ross sat down with Garry Connolly, Founder of Digital Infrastructure Ireland, to discuss Ireland’s role in the international data centre market and the wider challenges facing digital infrastructure across Europe. 

Ireland presents a particularly interesting paradox. 

Irish contractors, specialists and consultants have developed some of the strongest data centre experience in Europe. The top Irish contractors, with data centre experience, now generate between 40% and 80% of their revenue outside Ireland. 

They have the expertise. They have the reputation. They have the international demand. 

Yet Ireland itself is struggling to deliver the housing, transport, energy and digital infrastructure it needs. 

What you'll learn from today's episode of Inventing Construction:

- Why there is no digital economy
- How we can scale data centre delivery
- The steps needed to modernise Ireland's infrastructure
- Why we shouldn't have called it the 'Cloud'
- Explaining the “why” of digital infrastructure

A lot of building data is created every year, and most of it is lost the day the building opens. The moment the building is handed over to operations, most project information becomes surprisingly difficult to use, or is delivered too late.

In today's episode, we speak with Jonas Brandenborg, an ICT coordinator at Bygningsstyrelsen (The Danish Building and Property Agency). His experience highlights a simple but uncomfortable truth about the challenges of handovers: the problem isn’t a lack of data.
It’s a lack of planning for how that data will actually be used by facilities management.

What you'll learn from today's episode of Inventing Construction:

- The industry wide problems with construction handovers
- What is a good digital handover (what you need to know)
- How to plan a succesful digital handover
- The changes coming to facility management

Across offices, hotels, hospitals, and data centres, enormous amounts of heat are generated every single day. Ventilation systems blow it away. Cooling systems spend electricity to remove it. Mechanical systems operate in isolation, unaware that the building next door might need exactly the energy being thrown away.

So perhaps the question isn’t how do we produce more energy? But how do we stop wasting the energy we already have?

In today's podcast episode, we speak with Nicolas Kastbjerg, CEO of Energy Machines, about a different way of thinking about building energy systems. One where buildings are not just consumers of energy, but active participants in the energy system itself.

Or put simply: Buildings as energy machines.

What you'll learn from today's episode of Inventing Construction:

- What is energy as a service?
- What are the low-hanging fruit of energy efficiency?
- Concrete examples of hidden energy waste
- Regulatory and market barriers to energy transformation
- The mindset shift needed to change our energy system

But here’s the uncomfortable truth:
If you switched them off tomorrow, modern society would end.

In today's podcast episode, we sit down with Merima Dzanic Chief Operating Officer at the Danish Data Centre Industry, to discuss one of the most misunderstood sectors in construction and infrastructure today.

What you'll learn from today's episode of Inventing Construction:

- Why data centres are so critical
- Why Denmark became a data centre hub
- The grid problem
- What makes data centre construction unique?
- Why AI is disrupting the data centre industry
- The industry branding challenge

And with it, the solution.

In this episode Ross has a conversation with Christian Kongsgaard about the essential role of coding in the digital progression of the industry.
The core question is: Should professionals, from architects and engineers to cost managers and quantity surveyors, learn to code?

The answer is yes. It’s not about becoming a software developer, but about adapting to the inevitable change that is reshaping how construction services are bought and delivered.

It’s not just a skills gap. It’s a profile gap. And if we don’t start building bridges between domains, we risk holding back the digital transformation that construction desperately needs.

In today's episode, Elia sits down with Aske Strandberg, a professional whose career spans hospitality, construction, and IT. His story is less about job titles and more about mindset, curiosity, creativity, and the courage to shift. Him, and many others, are also behind the AEC Hackathons - now, what is a hackathon, and why is it relevant to this industry challenge? That is today's topic.

What you'll learn from today's episode of Inventing Construction:

- Why we have to get more construction people into data science
- What is a hackathon?
- How you can use AI for MEP & BOQs

But when you zoom in on how digitalisation unfolds, policy shifts, public sector influence, tech adoption, and cultural change, you begin to see the slow, deliberate path forward.

In this podcast episode, Ross sat down with Troels Hoff, director of digital development at Ramboll and member of DiKon, to unpack that very question. The episode is a realistic yet hopeful look at the timeline, obstacles, and opportunities tied to going digital - from Denmark’s vantage point.

What you'll learn from today's episode of Inventing Construction:

- How Denmark sped up the digitalisation of construction
- The main challenges when digitally transforming construction
- The natural evolution of digitally transforming construction
