Construction has long been seen as a low-margin industry. But what if the real problem isn’t the margins—it’s how decisions get made? In this episode, we sit down with Indra Gutiérrez, President of Gutier, who’s reimagining what’s possible when data isn’t just collected—it’s actually used. Starting her company with zero outside capital, Indra has led a bold transformation from a specialty contractor to a self-performing general contractor focused on higher-margin, mission-aligned projects.
We explore how data-driven decision-making is helping her unlock profitability, guide strategic pivots, and build a business that serves both purpose and performance. This is a conversation about reclaiming control through insights—and rewriting the rules of growth in construction.
