AI in Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) Workshop
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 post-workshop access to our community on 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.
