Construction projects are some of the most complex undertakings in the world, juggling budgets, schedules, safety, and endless uncertainties. What happens when artificial intelligence steps onto the jobsite, not as a concept, but as a practical tool to transform the way we manage projects? And yes, this session comes with a special surprise just for attendees!
Join us for an evening of real-world insights and hands-on imagination as we explore how AI is reshaping construction management. From smarter scheduling to proactive risk detection, this session looks beyond the buzzwords and dives into what actually works (and what doesn’t) when intelligence meets concrete, cranes, and contracts.
Featuring Ahmed Mekallach, “From boots on-site to building AI tools”. Someone who lived the challenges of traditional construction management before pivoting into AI-driven solutions. Ahmed will share both the opportunities and the hard lessons from bringing intelligence to the construction field.
🤖 Why Attend? • Learn how AI is changing project scheduling, safety, and cost control • Hear firsthand stories of success and setbacks from the field • Take part in an interactive challenge on AI-powered decision-making • Connect with peers across engineering, project management, and data science • Contribute to the growing AI Collective Civil & Real Estate vertical
👥 Who’s It For? • Students, alumni, and faculty across engineering, management, and data fields • Professionals in construction, real estate, and project delivery • AI enthusiasts curious about practical, on-site applications • Anyone who wants to see how “boots on the ground” meet “brains in the cloud”
This Toronto event brings together AI enthusiasts, engineers, grad students, and professionals in construction management and smart cities.
