Steve Vettori went from 15 years of enterprise software sales to developing the 34-unit Beacon in Newton, and now he runs MassDwell, a factory that builds accessory dwelling units out of light gauge steel. He walks Marc, Ray, and Dan through why he switched framing systems, how the factory turns out about one 560-square-foot module a day, and why his crews are on a customer's lot for roughly 30 days instead of seven or eight months. They get into the $350 per square foot price, the 900-square-foot by-right ADU law, why septic is the real bottleneck, and a Sudbury town project that only worked off site. If you own land in Massachusetts and have wondered whether an ADU pencils or what it costs, start here.

Brian Vizarreta has been acquired twice in four years, from StructionSite to DroneDeploy to Procore, and he came back to explain what all that money is actually betting on. He and Marc, Ray, and Dan get into facade mapping that finally settled a four-fix water leak, why the most valuable thing to ask an AI is what isn't there rather than what is, and whether any of this makes sense for someone building six-unit multifamily instead of $300 million towers.

Nick's first deal was a $50,000 Dorchester lot bought with no attorney, no due diligence, and a 13% hard money loan. Plus a deed restriction that took three years to kill. He walks Marc, Ray, and Dan through the code interpretation that turned $140,000 of steel into a $300,000 line item, why two "at cost" GC partnerships ended up in court, and how he found 40 to 50 percent margins hiding in site work and foundations.
