In this episode of The ConTech Crew, hosts Jeff Sample and Jacob D'Albora sit down with Matthew Hudelson, founder of Inertia Systems, to discuss the concept of datatization, a revolutionary approach to data structuring in construction. Matthew shares how his background in technology and California healthcare compliance led him to develop location-based tracking solutions that optimize project management. The conversation covers the importance of data organization, integrations, and the role of technology in reducing rework and improving efficiency in construction projects.

Key Takeaways:

How Matthew’s journey in tech and construction led to the creation of Inertia Systems.
The origins of datatization and why structured data is critical for project success.
Lessons learned from working in California’s highly regulated healthcare construction sector.
The importance of integrating construction technology tools rather than competing with them.
How location-based tracking and digital twins improve project efficiency and decision-making.
