Drive planning R&D: improve accuracy, scalability, and automation through new methods, standards, and internal tooling
Own third-party tooling and integrations (LIDAR/BIM/compliance platforms) and vendor relationships to improve design precision and local code alignment
Build a structured field feedback loop with installers/integrators; convert install learnings into better plans that reduce rework, revisits, and cost
