Five years. Conversations with the founders, researchers, designers, and firm leaders who are actually shaping how architecture gets practiced. Hosted by Evan Troxel, a licensed architect with over 25 years in AEC, TRXL is built for architects, BIM managers, design technologists, computational designers, and firm leaders who want to stay ahead of where the profession is going — not catch up after it's already moved. Topics include artificial intelligence in architecture, BIM, digital practice, firm culture, design tools and workflows, project delivery, sustainability, and the organizational transformation that follows when the technology your firm depends on keeps changing. Each episode is a long-form, unscripted conversation with guests who are doing the work — not narrating it from the sidelines. Guests have included firm principals, CTOs and CIOs, software founders, researchers, and practitioners from leading firms and institutions worldwide. Ranked in the top 3% of all podcasts globally.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-29T02:18:39.901454+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/trxl-889287"},"episode":{"title":"231: 'Architects: Reclaim Control in CA', with Jack Sadler","slug":"231-architects-reclaim-control-in-ca-with-jack-sadler","published_at":"2026-06-09T16:45:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/trxl-889287/231-architects-reclaim-control-in-ca-with-jack-sadler","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/trxl-889287","url":"https://trxl.co/231","audio_url":"https://episodes.captivate.fm/episode/d8122d23-3542-40e5-8e9f-81b72e7b3665.mp3","summary":"In this special partner episode, Jack Sadler joins the podcast to talk about the phase of a project where architects quietly lose control: construction administration. We explore why CA became a cost center instead of a profit center, what happens when architects run their work out of someone else's software, and how AI can automate the routing, logging, and paperwork without ever touching the professional judgment that actually matters. Jack makes the case that CA is where design intent gets realized or negotiated away, and that owning the flow of information is how you make sure it's the former. This episode is especially relevant for firm leaders, project architects, and anyone who's been handed the CA phase and felt it turn into email triage, spreadsheet chasing, and cover-your-ass paperwork. If you've ever suspected there's a better way to run construction administration, one that makes your firm smarter, more defensible, and maybe even profitable, this conversation will give you a concrete place to start: take back control of what you're already accountable for.
