Topic Overview

The builders winning today aren’t necessarily the ones doing the most volume - they’re the ones running the cleanest operations.

This session explores two major forces reshaping the construction industry: the rapid adoption of project management platforms like JobTread, Buildertrend, CoConstruct, and Procore, and the growing integration of AI within those tools.

You’ll learn how AI is already working behind the scenes in platforms you may be using - or considering - to automate cost estimating, flag budget overruns, draft daily logs, and unlock insights from data that often goes untouched.

The session also cover the limits of AI - where it falls short and where human judgment still plays a critical role.

What you’ll walk away with:

• A clearer understanding of how AI is being embedded into construction workflows
• Real examples of where these tools are driving efficiency and margin improvement
• A maturity self-assessment to evaluate where your operations stand
• A practical framework to help you decide whether to adopt, upgrade, or wait

Who should attend:

• Builders and remodelers
• Project managers and operations leaders
• Owners looking to improve margins without increasing volume
• Anyone evaluating or currently using construction management software
