Modernizing the Construction Industry Through Digitization, Diversification, and Dialogue, w/ April Moss
Manage episode 368142537 series 3373420
For whatever reason, I have for many years had an outsider’s fascination with the construction industry, although I know very little about it. However, with today’s guest I hope to lessen my ignorance at least a smidge.
April Moss is the COO and Co-founder of DigiBuild, a construction software company that streamlines and removes approximately 30% of administrative burden and costs associated with procuring materials. However, the ultimate goal of the company is to create a healthier and happier industry in construction. This passion is driven by April’s personal story about her father who was a custom cabinet maker and finisher. He loved what he did and was good at it; however, the high-pressure environment, the seasonality, getting paid/not getting paid, loneliness and the drink culture within construction was a main contributor to her father taking his own life when April was 9 years old, with the suicide rate within the construction industry nearly 4x greater than the national average and 5x greater than that of all other construction fatalities combined. Therefore, helping construction projects and construction people is a personal mission for April.
