Course Syllabus
Construction is one of the last industries to go digital — and one of the first where AI is making a measurable difference. AI tools are already helping contractors estimate 3-5x more projects, reduce safety incidents by 40-50%, and cut admin time by 10-15 hours per week.
This course shows you exactly how to use AI across every phase of a construction project: from estimating and bidding to scheduling, safety, documentation, and client communication. No coding required — just practical tools you can use on your next project.
Who This Course Is For
- General contractors and construction managers
- Subcontractors and specialty trades
- Construction estimators and project managers
- Small to mid-size construction business owners
- Anyone in construction who wants to work smarter, not just harder
