AEC firms aren’t equal in the eyes of AI The jagged frontier means some teams are highly exposed. Others are sheltered, for now. Understanding how the jagged frontier impacts your business is critical. #AEC #CivilEngineering #AI linkedin.com/pulse/aecs-jag…

Most VCs we speak to don’t understand the paperwork required to build anything these days. Permits. Planning. Technical Studies. Environmental Approvals. This is what @SchemeFlow does. capx.co/how-much-paper…

Transport Statements. Transport Assessments. Flood Risk Assessments. Drainage Statements. Road Safety Audits. Corridor Studies. Travel Plans…

4,000+ planning permissions. Delivered using AI. Within 24 months, the entire planning industry will be unrecognisable. We’re just getting started. #Planning #CivilEngineering #AEC

Every UK government since 1970 has promised to "reform planning." Here's what actually happened: → Planning paperwork: 80 pages → 3,271 pages → Homes built per year: 362,000 → 209,000 We didn't reform the system. We fed it.

But it is rare to see the growth in this bureaucracy laid out so clearly over the past 30 years

Building anything in Britain now requires 3,200 pages of reports. A new report gets added to the UK planning system every year. When does the paperwork become the project?

The most recent additions include: - Biodiversity Net Gain reports (2024) - Social Infrastructure Assessments (2024) - Carbon Options Study (2025) - Modern Methods of Construction Statement (2025) None are inherently “bad”

The quiet advantage AI is already being used by consultants to produce thousands of UK planning documents. This is an operational shift in how buildings and infrastructure are delivered.

$64 billion of data center projects have been blocked or delayed in the past 2 years. For comparison, the entire initial investment tranche of Stargate is $100M.

NIMBYs pose a real threat to American AI leadership. We're throttling compute not because we can't built it, but because we can't PERMIT it. The scale of this problem is bigger than we imagine.

Want to stop socialism? One weird trick: let America build again Build houses, build factories, build anything When we build, we prosper, and we win

What are you getting done this week? [ yes, you can promote stuff you’re working on ]

Bureaucrat mode does have a certain ring to it

I ordered 12 Optimus robots to give to my fans over the next 12 days… retweet to be entered.
