// 6 // Talking Real Estate & Tech Innovation with Savannah De Savary

City Centric Podcast

Hello and welcome to the Centric Cities podcast from the Centric Lab. Some of this material will be familiar with listeners to the Conscious Cities podcast where it was previously hosted. However, we decided to bring things in house to further our intended direction. Centric are all about enhancing user experience in the built environment, one of our main things is mapping out ecosystems and looking for friction and tension points, well that’s what this podcast aims to explore by interviewing professionals working at the coal face of the businesses helping design, build, manage and dream of the cities of tomorrow. Episode 6 was originally recorded in September 2017 where I had the great opportunity to sit down with proptech CEO and founder Savannah de Savary of Built ID. Built-ID is Bringing word-of-mouth insight into the digital age. Built-ID is an online platform and professional community that connects real estate developers with consultants. They’ve had documented over 26,000 projects worldwide by over nearly 1000 member companies. Their aim is to help you discover the people behind your favourite projects and bring the word of mouth referral system into the digital age. One of the great things I like about Built-ID is the transparency it provides in quite a hidden and cloaked industry, it can give new opportunities to people who haven’t been a part of a scene, it’s helping remove favouritism and nepotism, and most importantly, helping great talent be exposed to people seeking great ideas. In the podcast we don’t really go on about the company but more to ask Savannah, as an entrepreneur in a progressive technology related company, about some of her views on the built environment in general.
