“You needed the scars on your back and the calluses on your hands to really understand the problem.” – Ricky Sevta

In this special episode ofBuilding Stories - The Podcast, powered byDeep Space, we bring together the founding team to share the story behind Deep Space, why they took the leap, and what they’ve learned along the way.

Ricky Sevta, Michael Clothier, Sudeshan Mudali, and Luke Johnson pull back the curtain on thechallenges of building a tech company in construction, from the early days of sketching ideas over beers to scaling an industry-first AI-driven platform.

We discuss:

• Why experience matters- and why a couple of grads with a big idea wouldn’t have survived in construction tech
• The scars of building a business- hard lessons from past ventures and why timing is everything
• The Deep Space mission-how AI is changing the game for site teams, designers, and asset owners
• The industry shift-why construction can’t afford to wait any longer to embrace AI-driven decision-making
• How they are solving the complexity problem- less tech, more action, and making AI work in the real world

A raw and unfiltered look at what it takes to build a company that is set toredefine construction technology.
