How the built environment is being designed, documented, and delivered with AI

A two-session interactive workshop for owners, operators, developers, architects, and builders exploring how AI is reshaping the AEC stack—from design to delivery.

📅 Live Session: January 22 — 12:00–2:00pm

This live session will be recorded and shared with all participants.

💡 About the Workshop

AI is moving fast inside construction, architecture, and engineering—but most teams are still unsure what actually works, what’s hype, and how to implement it without blowing up workflows or budgets.

In a 2 hour live session, this workshop delivers a clear, no-jargon explanation of how modern AI works, followed by a deep dive into real-world AEC use cases across design, pre-construction, construction management, and operations.

We’ll examine how leading firms are using AI for generative design, test fits, takeoffs, scheduling, code compliance, and construction monitoring—then shift to implementation: where to start, how to prep your data, how to evaluate vendors, and how to integrate AI into real project workflows.

You’ll leave with a practical framework for applying AI inside your organization—plus tools to avoid the hype and focus on outcomes.

Participants will receive pre-read materials, including framing decks and AEC-specific examples, and gain post-workshop access to Circle, where we’ll share recordings, recommended tools, curated vendor lists, and implementation guides.

🧠 You’ll Learn How To

Understand how AI actually works

Break down what modern AI is (and isn’t), including models vs. applications, agentic AI, and frameworks like HITL, HOTL, and HOOTL—explained in plain English.

Explore AEC-specific use cases

See how AI is being applied to concept design, test fits, cost estimation, construction documentation, scheduling, QA/QC, and site monitoring.

Learn from real project examples

Examine how architecture firms, contractors, and developers are using AI tools in live workflows—from generative design to construction intelligence.

Evaluate where AI fits in your org

Identify high-impact opportunities across design, pre-con, and construction, assess data readiness, and prioritize use cases with real ROI.

Prep your team and systems for implementation

Understand what makes drawings, models, schedules, and project data “AI-ready,” how to choose vendors, and how to structure workflows for adoption.

Stay ahead of what’s coming

Look beyond the buzzwords—explore what’s next in computer vision, generative design, digital twins, and the collapsing cost of custom software.
