Building Smarter: A Developer-Founder Conversation on AI,Budget Certainty & the Future of Construction

​Real estate development has always been a game of managing the unknown — rising material costs, shifting scopes,

​and budgets that rarely survive first contact with reality. As AI reshapes every corner of the industry, one of the most

​urgent questions for developers today is: can we finally bring predictability to the build?

​Join Hanyang Liu, Co-Founder of Quotr, and a seasoned real estate developer for a candid fireside conversation at the

​intersection of construction, technology, and the future of the built environment. Together, they’ll unpack the real

​pressures developers face today — from cost overruns and scope creep to financing uncertainty — and explore how AI

​is changing the equation.

​This isn’t a product pitch. It’s an honest dialogue about where the industry is, where it’s headed, and what founders and

​developers are learning side-by-side as AI tools move from experiment to essential infrastructure.
