## Key Points
- Works at Meta on construction/facilities side. Door hardware is a major coordination item -- sends to vendors for takeoffs from drawings and documents. One of the things that goes wrong the most.
- Meta hires pricing consultants (CBRE, Turner & Townsend) to compare designs. Owners do hire estimating consultants.
- Equipment (electrical and mechanical) is a massive issue: shortages, long lead times, ordering 6 months before drawings/BIM finalize. Equipment arrives and doesn't match final design -- either change design or reorder with new lead time. Happens throughout pre-construction and construction.
- Believes more companies will build their own tools. Enterprise construction teams only use a sliver of commercial solutions and they're expensive.
## Pain Points Mentioned
- Door hardware coordination failures between drawings and vendors
- Equipment lead time vs design finalization mismatch -- ordering 6 months early, designs change, equipment doesn't match
- Commercial software is expensive and companies only use a fraction of it
