Technology Adoption is a Lifestyle: Jonathan Marsh

A true champion of technology. 

For over two decades, Jonathan Marsh has been an innovator in the AEC Industry. An industry commonly labelled as “a step behind” with regards to technology, Jonathan has not just been committed to technology but has been a true champion of it’s adoption – from BIM to modular fabrication.

Steel Toe Consulting specializes in technology consulting that bridges the gap between virtual design and the realities of manufacturing and construction. Specializing in MEP trades, STC draws upon industry experts and years of experience to both select and implement the construction technologies that best fit the way you want to build and reflect the best practices for the types of projects you take on. 

Previous to founding Steel Toe Consulting, Jonathan led as the CTO / Division Manager of Virtual Design and Construction for Wm. T. Spaeder for over 12 years. 

“By focusing on the people, processes and procedures needed for successful technology adoption, I’ve built an impressive track record for successful technology implementations in areas such as reality capture, digital layout, mobile / MDM, virtual reality, fabrication technologies, and cloud collaboration.”

Revizto helped Jonathan turn many of these challenges into competitive advantages. Revizto enables teams to drive instant accountability for issue management. It centralizes all data into a single hub for real-time field information and provides accurate, actionable drawings and models.

Accessing needed information, specifically in the field, is directly attached to project timelines. Revizto makes dimensional, point cloud, and all other information easily accessible to field team members from any device. By eliminating information bottlenecks in the field, team members can get the necessary information fast, and be confident that the information they are looking at us updated from across teams.
