Description

In this episode, Jeff Sample sits down with Jon Chesser, Chief Growth Officer at Cumulus, to explore how connected tools are transforming construction QA/QC particularly in the booming data center space. With nearly 20 years of experience in construction technology and a successful exit from Jovix, Jon brings a deep understanding of solving field-level problems with practical tech.As AI accelerates the demand for faster, more efficient data center builds, Jon unpacks how Cumulus is eliminating legacy paperwork for electrical and mechanical contractors through Bluetooth-enabled tools. From torque verification to real-time digital records, this conversation gets into the real-world innovations helping contractors stay in flow, reduce rework, and scale with speed.Key LearningsConstruction tech success depends on solving field-level workflow problems, not just tracking data.Jovix gained traction by fixing procurement-to-installation disconnects using RFID and schedule integration.Cumulus is eliminating paper-based QA/QC processes for critical trades in data center construction.Bluetooth-enabled tools guide fieldworkers step-by-step and auto-capture torque and meg test data.Replacing manual QA reduces rework, wait times, and need for torque witnesses.Real-time data enables both visible and non-visible progress tracking, improving forecasting.Modular construction and standardized QA across trade partners are essential for hyperscale efficiency.Timestamps[00:00] - Introduction[01:44] - Jon’s background and Jovix[05:23] - Using RFID to solve structural steel tracking in EPC projects[08:53] - The real problem: disconnected paper processes, not just lost materials[11:39] - Cumulus: digitizing QA/QC for data center electrical and mechanical work[14:25] - Empowering electricians and saving foremen from paperwork overload[22:09] - Scope and opportunity of Connected tools.
