Practical AI Skills for Estimating, Inspection, Safety, and Business Operations
Every hour spent writing proposals, searching for code information, documenting inspections, managing schedules, or responding to emails is an hour not spent building projects, serving customers, or growing your business.
Artificial intelligence is changing the construction industry, but most AI training is designed for office professionals, programmers, or engineers — not the people working in the trades.
This course was built specifically for tradespeople and contracting professionals who want practical tools they can use immediately on the jobsite and in their business.
No coding. No complicated software. Just real-world AI tools that help you save time, improve accuracy, streamline paperwork, and work more efficiently.
Through hands-on exercises and real construction scenarios, participants learn how to use AI for estimating, bidding, visual inspection, safety documentation, scheduling, customer communication, marketing, and business operations.
Launching in mid-June 2026! Join the waitlist below today.
The Four Practical Pillars: The course is organized around four core areas where AI is already transforming construction workflows.
AI-Powered Estimating & Bidding: Learn how to generate material takeoffs, create cost estimates, draft proposals, and build reusable prompt templates for future projects.
Visual Inspection & Quality Control: Use smartphone-based AI tools for dimensional measurement, material identification, defect detection, and photo-based inspection reporting.
Safety & Compliance: Generate safety checklists, perform code lookups, streamline incident reporting, and improve documentation workflows using AI-assisted tools.
Business Operations & Marketing: Automate scheduling, invoicing, customer communication, social media content, online reviews, and administrative workflows.
Online | Self-Paced | Interactive
Students complete a sequence of online modules at their own pace, as their schedule permits. Each module may include assigned readings or media, online quizzes, discussion boards, and more. The instructor will guide you through the course, provide feedback, and assessments of your learning.
• Carpenters and skilled trades professionals
• Residential and commercial contractors
• Construction supervisors and foremen
• Small business owners in the trades
• Apprentices and incumbent workers
• Estimators and project coordinators
• Anyone looking to improve productivity using practical AI tools
No prior AI or technical experience is required. If you can use a smartphone and send an email, you can succeed in this course.

Time Commitment:
17.5 Hours
You can expect to commit up to approximately two and a half (2.5) hours per module on activities, exercises, and assignments.
Built Specifically for the Trades: Every example, exercise, and demonstration uses real construction and carpentry scenarios — not generic office workflows.
Practical and Hands-On: You will leave every module with tools, templates, and workflows that you can use immediately on the job.
Designed for Real Working Conditions: The asynchronous format allows you to complete modules around active projects, varying workloads, and family responsibilities.
Focused on Immediate ROI: You learn low-cost and free AI tools that can reduce administrative work, improve documentation, and accelerate estimating and communication workflows.
Built for the Future of the Workforce: The construction industry is rapidly adopting AI-powered tools, yet very few training programs are designed specifically for craft workers and trades professionals.
