Volve on the Byggeplassen podcast: AI, information control, and better projects

The conversation started with a familiar theme in construction:
a constant push for control and efficiency – and what happens when project teams don’t have a good handle on requirements, risks, and obligations. From there, we explored how AI can support both day-to-day work and long-term improvement across projects.
In the episode, we touched on:
the journey from a stable job into founding Volve
why we’re building an AI teammate specifically for construction
the potential of AI in tendering and contract management
how better tenders and safer contracts set projects up for success
what it takes to actually learn across projects – not just start over each time
A big thank you to Frode and Christian for a great discussion and for the important work they do in highlighting how the industry is changing.

“If you can’t control information, you can’t really control outcomes. Our aim with Volve is to give project teams a teammate that actually reads everything – and helps them turn documents into better decisions.”
