3-day Virtual Seminar

AI & ChatGPT in Construction Estimation

Overview

This webinar explores how artificial intelligence, including ChatGPT, can be applied within construction estimation to improve efficiency, accuracy, and workflow consistency. It provides practical insight into how AI tools can support key estimating activities such as cost breakdowns, scope development, documentation, and data analysis.

Attendees will gain an understanding of how to use ChatGPT alongside broader AI capabilities to streamline repetitive tasks, enhance data interpretation, and produce more structured and reliable estimates. The session focuses on real-world application, with practical examples and strategies that can be integrated into existing estimation workflows.

Why you should Attend
