The CADDle Call

Procore and AI

Procore's Field COO Kris Lengieza joins The CADDle Call to talk about how AI is actually changing construction work right now, not someday. We cover the new Procore AI agent builder, why field workers have been left out of most tech rollouts, and how firms are running more projects without adding headcount. We also address the fear of losing institutional knowledge to AI and what separates the construction companies pulling ahead from everyone else.

What's New in Civil 3D 2027?

In this episode of The CADDle Call Podcast, we sit down with Tim Yarris - Senior Product Manager for Civil 3D at Autodesk - to break down everything you need to know about the 2027 release. From AI-powered design tools to brand-new civil engineering features, Tim walks us through what his team has built to make your workflow faster and smarter. We dig into Autodesk's exciting Technology Previews, including the daylight feature line and the AI-enabled Autodesk Assistant, and discuss what "Technology Preview" actually means for everyday users. We also explore how Autodesk is thoughtfully integrating AI directly into design products, productivity upgrades across the AEC Collection, and what's new in AutoCAD 2027. Whether you're a Civil 3D power user, an AEC professional, or just curious about where Autodesk is headed, this episode is packed with insight straight from the source.

Autodesk ReCap Pro 2027: Game-Changing Features You Need to Know

In this episode of the CADDle Call Podcast, we sit down with Ramesh Sridharan - Director of Reality Solutions for ABI at Autodesk - to break down everything new in Autodesk ReCap Pro 2027. We explore how reality capture is evolving in the AEC industry and what the latest ReCap release means for professionals working in BIM, construction, and civil design workflows. Whether you're a contractor, engineer, designer, or BIM manager, this episode will help you understand how to leverage reality capture tools to improve efficiency, accuracy, and collaboration. If you're looking to stay ahead in construction technology, digital twins, and laser scanning workflows—this is a must-listen.

Construction Site Safety with SiteDocs

Construction sites are among the most demanding and dangerous work environments on the planet and keeping everyone safe takes more than good intentions. In this episode of the CADDle Call podcast, we sit down with Adrian Salcedo, a member of the Safety Committee for the Associated Builders and Contractors of New Jersey, to talk all things construction site safety. We'll dig into why safety documentation matters far beyond regulatory compliance, and how software tools like SiteDocs are helping both field crews and office staff streamline the process without slowing down the work. From ease of use in the field to customization across wildly different project types, Adrian brings real-world experience and practical insight to the conversation. Whether you're managing a rural highway project or a high-rise in the middle of a major city, this episode will give you a fresh perspective on how the right systems, combined with solid training and smart planning, can make every job site safer for everyone on it.

Geotechnical Workflows in Civil 3D & ArcGIS

Geotechnical and subsurface work has long been one of the most challenging areas for civil engineers working in tools like Civil 3D, but that's changing fast. In this episode of the CADDle Call podcast, we talk with Michael Davidson from Esri and Devrez Karabacak, head of the GeoDin product team, to explore how these platforms are making underground data management and subsurface analysis more accessible for design professionals. Together, they cover how ArcGIS and GeoDin connect with Civil 3D to help engineers tackle the underground challenges that so often blow up budgets when reality hits in the field - including the core features of both platforms, real-world workflow integration, and where civil-GIS collaboration is headed next. Whether you're a site designer, survey professional, or civil engineer curious about geotechnical workflows, this episode gives you a practical look at the tools reshaping how the industry handles what's beneath the surface.
