    What It's About

    Many builders, remodelers, and contractors still rely on Excel for takeoffs and estimates—a costly habit that quietly erodes profits. This session uncovers eight proven AI tools that can add 3–5 margin points across the building process. Through case studies and short demos, explore marketing copilots for smarter lead scoring, conversational assistants that qualify and convert, bid bots that cut errors 30% and speed takeoffs 40%, 24/7 customer service chatbots, AI-driven scheduling with real-time QA, predictive cash-flow dashboards, workforce optimizers that route crews, and supplier-matching engines that lock pricing and delivery. Walk away with a toolkit and 90-day roadmap to put them into action immediately.

    What You’ll Learn

    • Identify Excel-based and manual process profit leaks and seize a 3-5 point gain, so you can target AI spend where ROI is highest.
    • Learn to deploy bid bots that cut estimating errors by 30% and speed up take-offs by 40%, so you submit sharper bids sooner and land more profitable work.
    • Discover ways to use predictive cash-flow dashboards that spotlight looming funding gaps, letting you adjust spend early and keep crews and margins fully covered.
    • Use AI supplier-matching to lock delivery dates and prices, wiping out material delays and protecting schedules and profits from cost swings.
