Why Your Estimator Can Bid 60% More Jobs Than Your Competitors In construction, AI isn’t pouring concrete or running cranes yet.  It’s cleaning up spreadsheets, pulling bids, and balancing the books. Firms like Prism Construction in Vancouver have increased tech budgets by 35%, not to buy more software, but to train people to use it. That’s the quiet change underway: office staff, not site labor, getting the first wave of advantage. AI’s early wins aren’t flashy, but they are impressive nevertheless.  An estimator who can bid on 60% more jobs.  An accountant who turns hours of reports into minutes.  A marketer who finds out which suburbs have slate roofs or new pickleball clubs.  The firms seeing the most significant lift aren’t chasing “AI change.” They’re doing what the Industrial Age did best, combining new tools with trained people. Every new tool shifts value to those who adapt first.   Construction may be late to the party, but it'll be the same story as before when AI hits the field, with safety cameras spotting hazards and schedulers cutting project times by 17%. Those who learn and adapt win more.  Those who wait fall further behind every day. https://lnkd.in/gFFshq_P
