Podcasts are recorded in the company of my red labrador Barney, who keeps his eye on proceedings. In this episode Duncan Cafrtlidge discusses  It's no surprise that the UK construction industry generates a lot of waste. At least 5 million tonnes of construction waste still end up in landfill sites across the UK each year. However, some of the waste is unavoidable and that is waste due to errors. Construction errors cost the UK construction industry billions of pounds every single year some estimates putting it at around £10 billion.  Across the construction industry, errors are estimated to cost up to £25bn annually, or around 21% of total project value, according to the Get It Right Initiative. As technology and particularly AI becomes more embedded in safety-critical and high-hazard environments, assurance must keep pace. Reducing errors in construction also means reducing the risk of errors introduced by the tools themselves and now UK construction disputes have been identified as may be particularly well suited to AI facilitation. I hope that you've enjoyed this podcast from duncancartlidgeonline.  Barney and I would really appreciated it you could find the time to write a review and spread the word. Untill next time - take care. www.duncancartlidgeonline.com Insights for construction professionals
