In The News: Weitz Leaders Drive VDC Innovation

At The Weitz Company, innovation is a main focus. In a recent podcast episode with Tech Insider, two of our VDC experts, Joshua Marriott and Logan McGuinness, shared how emerging technologies like laser scanning, artificial intelligence (AI), and virtual reality (VR) are transforming the construction industry. They discussed how these tools are streamlining design-build projects and improving collaboration by bridging the gap between design and field execution. One standout innovation they explored was the use of gaming engines like Unreal Engine to create immersive visualizations that enhance safety training and project understanding across all stakeholders.

Josh and Logan also touched on the real-world challenges of implementing new technologies across the industry. Change doesn’t happen overnight, and overcoming resistance requires a strong focus on education and hands-on training. By investing in these areas, Weitz helps teams not only adopt their new tools. Their insights reflect our ongoing commitment of delivering smarter, safer, and more efficient projects for our clients. Watch the full podcast below.
