AI, Data, and LEGOs: Building Best Practices for Contractors
Tuesday, February 10, 2026 (11:00 AM - 12:00 PM) (HST)
Description
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming how the AEC industry manages, secures, and leverages information. But before firms can take advantage of tools powered by large language models (LLMs), the foundation must be right — your data. Whether your firm is just beginning to explore AI or already experimenting with LLM tools, this session will offer valuable guidance to help you take the next step toward a smarter, data-driven future. This session will cover:
- Understanding what “AI readiness” really means for AEC firms, and where to start
- Considerations and best practices when working with AI solution providers and internal teams
- Tips for identifying high-impact AI opportunities within your organization
The session will culminate in an interactive LEGO building exercise to reinforce some of the key points covered during the presentation
