What should contractors know about this technology? Chat GPT is a language processing tool and it’s incredibly intuitive. There are a variety of apps that use this technology. You can ask questions; you can ask it to do things. From these questions, you’ll get a response. And what is the future of this? Will it provide more good than not? It’s certainly a technology that needs to be monitored.

Jill Bloom moderates this “If Walls Could Talk” podcast with Thea Dudley for W&C. In this episode, Dudley discusses pre-liens. What is a pre-lien?
Most people consider a pre lien notice to be any notice or letter that a construction party (contractor, supplier, design professional, etc.) must give before filing a mechanics lien. In other words, a pre lien notice is a preliminary notice.
Cyber security is a major issue today. Scammers use digital means of targeting both small and large companies in a manner that might resemble something familiar. But watch out!
In this episode of “If Walls Could Talk,” W&C Group Publisher Jill Bloom is joined by Thea Dudley, CEO Of Pocket Protectors LLC.
There is nothing more important than cyber security. When it comes to all our industries, what do we need to know?
Walls & Ceilings recently spoke with regular contributor Tom Harris, of Tom Harris PUR Consulting LLC to speak about this year’s first quarter events as it pertains to the insulation industry. In this podcast of “If Walls Could Talk,” Harris tells W&C about his impressions and experiences from some of these events.
The construction industry kicks off the year by hosting most of its tradeshows in the first quarter and Harris reports the attendance was fantastic. It looks like we’re back in high gear, he says.
The labor shortage problem has been an issue for some time. But in these last few years, it seems the concern of having qualified workers has compounded and is really a rallying cry for most contractors.
In this latest episode of “If Walls Could Talk,” W&C’s John Wyatt speaks with FL Crane & Sons’ Ty Crane on the severity of this issue and what can be done to combat it.
In this podcast, Crane outlines some initiatives that his company has implement to address the problem head-on. Listen to this important episode.
In this latest episode of “If Walls Could Talk,” Trent Cotney speaks on the train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio, and how it has affected a lot more than just Ohio. We met with Cotney, partner at Adams & Reese, to discuss the effects the train derailment has had not only on the construction industry, but also on you as a resident of the United States.
Cotney expects there to be an investigation into the incident so an event of this magnitude does not happen again. “I don’t know all the ins and outs of why it happened, but I certainly would want to look at everything from our current infrastructure to training,” Cotney said.
Cotney thinks that one of the outcomes of an investigation would be more regulations for the transportation industry. “There are more rules for railroad safety than there probably are for fall protection in construction,” he said.
Overall, the impact the accident had on the environment and how it disrupted residents’ lives is more important than the impact on any one industry.
