Finding the Digital Path to Sustainability in Construction with Paloma Hermoso (Ward Williams)
Paloma Hermoso, Head of Sustainability at Ward Williams, joins Deconstructing Digital to challenge one of construction's most persistent assumptions - that sustainability is something you address once the real decisions have been made. Drawing on over a decade of experience across project management, construction and corporate sustainability, Paloma makes a compelling case for why the industry scores just 5 out of 10 on sustainability, why digital tools and AI are powerful but not a silver bullet, and how her own tool - the Sustainability Pathfinder - is giving construction teams a practical way to move from good intentions to real action.

Construction Data Isn’t Working – How Do We Fix It? With Dr Adam O'Rourke (Emerging Technologies Consultant))
Construction has more data than ever before. So why does the industry still struggle to turn that data into better decisions, better projects, and better outcomes? In this episode of Deconstructing Digital, Dr Adam O’Rourke, Emerging Technologies Consultant and former academic, brings a fresh and thought-provoking perspective on why construction data isn’t working - and what the industry must do to fix it. Drawing on decades in academia and his work supporting Causeway’s evolution into digital construction, Adam explores the hidden complexity behind construction data, from disconnected systems and fragmented processes to the critical interfaces where projects succeed or fail. If you think the future of construction is just “more AI,” this conversation may change your mind.

What 40 Years of Digital Change Has Taught Construction with David Emery (Supply Chain Sustainability School)
What does forty years in construction actually teach you about digital change? Quite a lot, it turns out - including what not to do. David Emery, consultant at the Supply Chain Sustainability School and one of the industry's most experienced digital voices, has been there for all of it: the early computing systems that cost two company cars and became obsolete before they paid back, the rise of BIM, the smartphone revolution that finally democratised data, and now the AI wave that's moving faster than anything he's seen before. In this episode, David brings refreshing honesty, a few brilliant stories, and zero jargon to one of construction's most persistent questions: why, after forty years, are we still struggling to make digital stick?
