βPurpose
βSmall homebuilders face increasing complexity in cost control, scheduling, inspections, procurement, and client communication. This collaborative hackathon brings together AEC digital practitioners and domain experts to develop practical, adoptable roadmaps for AI assisted dashboards that support day to day decision making in small scale residential construction.
βThis is not a competition and not a software build. It is a focused working session to create structured, domain specific guidance that small homebuilders can realistically implement.
βWorking Domains
βParticipants will work within six predefined operational domains:
βπ° Cash Flow and Budget Visibility
βπ Schedule Reliability and Trade Coordination
βπ Inspection and Permit Preparedness
βπ¦ Procurement Planning and Material Tracking
βπ Change Management and Client Transparency
βπ Site Activity Monitoring and Productivity Signals
β
βTeams will be formed at the event based on attendance and assigned to one domain.
βHow the Session Works
βThe session follows a structured flow. Tasks and milestones will be introduced progressively during the morning.
βParticipants will not receive all tasks in advance!
βEach domain team will move through guided stages and produce one structured roadmap for their assigned topic.
βExpected Output
βEach team will produce a clear, practical roadmap that includes:
βA realistic small homebuilder scenario
βKey information to capture
βEssential dashboard indicators
βExamples of meaningful AI assistance
βA simple implementation pathway
β
ββ BIMbc will compile all domain roadmaps into a published guidance package.
