Overview
This practical and forward-focused webinar explores how construction professionals can use Anthropic’s Claude AI to support construction estimating and pre-construction activities more efficiently. The session demonstrates how AI can assist with reviewing tender documents, extracting scope information, identifying risks, drafting clarifications, summarising specifications, and improving estimating workflows.
Attendees will gain a realistic understanding of where AI adds value within estimating environments, how to structure effective prompts, and how to balance AI efficiency with professional judgement, governance, and commercial awareness.
The webinar focuses on real-world construction applications rather than technical AI theory, making it highly practical and immediately relevant for professionals working within construction, infrastructure, engineering, and commercial project environments.
Why you should Attend
As construction projects become more commercially pressured and documentation-heavy, many estimating teams are struggling with time constraints, manual review processes, bid complexity, and growing client expectations. At the same time, AI tools are rapidly entering the industry - creating both opportunity and uncertainty.
This webinar provides a practical, commercially focused introduction to using Claude AI within construction estimating workflows. Attendees will learn how AI can support tender analysis, scope review, document summarisation, clarification drafting, and estimating efficiency - while also understanding the risks, limitations, and importance of maintaining professional oversight.
The session is designed to help construction professionals confidently explore AI adoption in a realistic, structured, and commercially responsible way.
