Preconstruction has always been a race against the clock — and today’s labor shortages, bandwidth challenges, and rising costs have made that race even harder to win. In this session, we’ll explore how forward-thinking contractors like Consigli are using AI tools to remove tedious, manual estimating tasks and give their teams more time for strategy, collaboration, and creative problem-solving. The session will discuss: • Case studies from Consigli showing how AI-assisted takeoffs have accelerated bid turnaround, improved accuracy, and helped win more work. • How upskilling preconstruction professionals by eliminating repetitive tasks fosters faster knowledge transfer, deeper engagement, and stronger retention. • Practical steps any contractor can take to equip their teams with modern tools that boost productivity and help address labor shortages. • By shifting estimators’ time from clicking and counting to contributing strategically, companies can retain top talent, attract the next generation of builders, and improve profitability all while delivering bids faster and win more work.
