In this episode of The Construction Cogs Podcast, I’m joined by Neeral Shah, founder and CEO of YardLink, a construction procurement company connecting contractors with a nationwide network of vetted suppliers for plant and equipment hire, building materials, and waste-management services.
We discuss Neeral’s journey in building YardLink, the challenges of introducing new technology into construction, and why so many contractors still rely on phone calls, emails, and spreadsheets to manage their procurement.
Neeral explains the hidden costs of plant hire, how late deliveries and equipment breakdowns can affect productivity, and why choosing the cheapest supplier doesn’t always mean getting the best value.
We also explore YardLink’s approach to working with local suppliers, improving visibility across projects, reducing waste, and making construction procurement more efficient.
