About Brad Roberts

As President of DEWALT Construction Technology, I’m convinced that there’s never been a better time to be a builder. We’re seeing groundbreaking shifts in our industry, and tech is on the leading edge of these transformations. To sum it up:• Old construction is dominated by silos. Design software produces data that is cut off from fabrication, which is cut off from labor. We see the consequences of these data breakdowns in cost overruns, material waste, and labor shortages.• New construction demands technology that enables a seamless flow of data from design to planning to fabrication to building, while keeping that data connected to advanced labor and hardware. From my time as an engineering student experimenting with autonomous vehicle design at The Ohio State University, I’ve been fascinated with innovation and technology. I grew my technical design expertise in post-grad roles in mechanical and electrical engineering, then made a career transforming pivot into Sales and Product Development, growing product roadmaps and teams at Danaher for over a decade. As a senior executive at Hilti, I developed the company’s global software strategy, supporting the setup of the acquisition of industry-leading products like Fieldwire. Now I’m leading a team of innovators at DEWALT; we come from the industry. We’re former engineers, designers, BIM pros, project managers, fabricators, and experienced construction tech professionals. Our team understands construction, and we listen to our customers to make sure we’re building the right tools for the industry. DEWALT Construction Technology exists to enable the flow of construction data through the entire workstream. Across the industry, project data gets stuck, lost, and siloed inside of dozens of platforms and point solutions. The right information can’t make it to the right people. That’s where the team at DEWALT comes in. We’re on a mission to repair broken workstreams and #freethedata to draw powerful insights and put our project information to work. If you’re committed to improving:• Prefabrication• Construction data silos• Concrete workflows• Asset and jobsite inventory management workflowsLet’s connect and create ways to build better.
