Powered by Elemental Quantity Surveyors
In this episode of Yarns with Andy, we’re joined by Misha Afon and Derrick Edward from Harnex; an AI company building tools that make construction projects faster, clearer, and more connected.
We chat about the future of AI in construction, why better data equals better decisions, and how their team is helping the industry move from gut feel to fact-based forecasting.
Misha and Derrick share what they’ve learned building tech for quantity surveyors, project managers, and contractors; including how to build trust in AI, what’s holding back adoption, and why sometimes just saying “please” to the model actually works.
It’s a fun, practical chat about where AI is going, and what the industry needs to do to keep up.
