American construction engineer and writer — author of Construction Physics newsletter — the most technically rigorous writer on why construction productivity has stagnated for 50 years and what could change it.
Creates the most detailed empirical account of construction productivity stagnation — Potter's newsletter traces how construction's failure to capture technology productivity gains (while manufacturing and agriculture have improved by 10-100x) results from the site-based, one-off nature of construction projects, and explores what modular or prefabricated approaches could change.
