SUMMARY:AI Workshop Series #1: AI Starts Here - Data That Actually Works
DESCRIPTION:The difference between AI that saves hours and AI that wastes time? Your data. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGet Your Data AI-Ready and Build the Foundation for Every Session That Follows\nEveryone is talking about AI. Few are talking about the one thing that determines whether it actually works: your data. \nIf your project information\, cost libraries\, production rates\, and templates aren’t structured properly\, AI can’t deliver reliable results. Instead\, you get inconsistent outputs\, wasted time\, and more work checking the answers than doing the task yourself. \nThat’s why this workshop comes first. \nIn this hands-on session\, you’ll learn how to organize your data so AI can become a practical tool for estimating\, project management\, operations\, and decision-making. You’ll leave with a proven system\, ready-to-use templates\, and a live project folder built around your business. \nWhy Attend?\n✅ Stop guessing whether AI outputs are accurate\n✅ Create a structured foundation that makes every future AI workflow more reliable\n✅ Learn when to trust AI\, when to verify it\, and when the decision should stay with you\n✅ Build a repeatable system you can use across every project\n✅ Walk away with practical tools you can start using immediately \nWhat You’ll Learn\n1. Build an AI-Ready Data System\nSet up project folders\, cost libraries\, production rates\, standard scopes\, and templates that allow AI to work from structured information instead of scanning PDFs and making assumptions. \n2. Master the Human + AI Workflow\nLearn the simple framework for deciding: \n\n\n\n\n\nWhat AI should handle\nWhat you should review\nWhat decisions should remain yours\n\n\n\n\n\nThis approach helps you avoid bad outputs while confidently leveraging good ones. \n3. Create Your Own Working Project Environment\nLeave with a live project folder and templates built around your rates\, your processes\, and your way of working. \n4. Keep Your Data Clean and Future-Proof\nDevelop a repeatable process for maintaining organized\, AI-ready information so every project starts from a strong foundation. \n\nWho Should Attend?\nEstimators\, Project Managers\, Business Owners\, Operations Leaders\, and Construction Professionals who already have some exposure to AI and want to use it effectively on real projects.\nRecommended Prerequisite: This workshop serves as the foundation for the entire AI Workshop Series and is strongly recommended before attending later sessions. \n\nWorkshop Details\n💻 Location: Live Online via Zoom \n\n\n\n\n\n$99 per live session (includes recording)\n$79 recording-only option\nReimbursement upon course completion\n\n\n\n\n\nYour Instructor\nJosh Turner\, PMP | ContractorOS\nJosh brings real-world construction and project experience to AI implementation. Rather than teaching theory\, he’ll show you practical systems and workflows that contractors\, estimators\, and project teams can actually use. \n\nWhat You’ll Need\n✔ A laptop\n✔ Internet connection\n✔ Optional: Bring an active project folder\, drawings\, specifications\, or project data to work with during the session \n\nIf you want AI to deliver better results\, this is where you start. Every successful AI workflow depends on clean\, organized\, structured information. \nJoin us and build the foundation that makes every future AI tool\, process\, and workshop more effective. \n🔗 Register Now and Get Your Data Working for You \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n

SUMMARY:AI Workshop Series #2 – From Takeoff to Bid: Catch Missed Scope. Keep the Margin.
DESCRIPTION:AI Workshop Series #2 – From Takeoff to Bid: Catch Missed Scope. Keep the Margin. \nYour estimate is only as good as your takeoff. And your margin is only as good as your estimate.\nAs an estimator\, you face ongoing pressure from tight deadlines\, complex specs\, and the constant risk of missing scope or pricing something wrong. \nThis workshop shows you how to use AI to support your estimating process without handing over control. You’ll learn to turn specs and drawings into structured scope lists\, cross-check quantities with AI\, and run price checks off your rate library. You’ll keep the margin and final numbers where they belong — with you. \nWhy this matters: A missed scope item or a rate outlier can cost you thousands. This workshop gives you a repeatable process to catch those issues before they hit your bottom line. \nYou will learn how to: \n\nTurn specs and drawings into a structured scope list so nothing gets missed and every item is priced or excluded on purpose\nUse AI to cross-check your takeoff quantities — devices\, fixtures\, homeruns\, and panels — against your own count\, rather than relying on it as the final number\nRun an independent price check off your rate library to catch missing scope and rate outliers\nKeep the margin and final numbers where they belong: with you\n\nIntended Audience: Estimators and operations leads who have some familiarity with AI and want to use it to support — not replace — their estimating process.\nWhile it’s strongly recommended that you attend Session 1: Data That Actually Works\, if you missed it\, you can access the recording in ECAO’s Learning Centre. \n💻 Where: Live online via Zoom \n\n$99 (tax incl.) per live session (includes recording) | $79 for recording only\nReimbursement upon course completion\n\n🔗 Click Here to Register \nYour Guide: Josh Turner\, PMP\, ContractorOS — An industry expert with hands-on construction experience who has figured out how to make AI practical\, rather than a tech guru with no site experience. \nNeed to Know: \nWhat to bring: A laptop and a working internet connection. Participants are encouraged to have a real project folder (specs\, drawings\, or data) to work with during the session.\nPayment: Online via PayPal or Invoice.\nCancellation: Full refund (4+ weeks)\, 50% (2–4 weeks)\, no refund (<10 days). Substitutions allowed.\nAccessibility & Questions: Contact Témoc Vega – tvega@ecao.org \n

SUMMARY:AI Workshop Series #3 - The PM's Daily Engine: Automate the Admin. Run the Project
DESCRIPTION:Turn contracts into task lists\, automate the repeatable paperwork\, and stay in control of the key decisions. \nYou can’t afford to lose hours to admin. But you also can’t afford to lose control. \nAs a PM\, you’re pulled in a hundred directions. Contracts\, RFIs\, emails\, meeting notes\, payment claims\, reports — the list never ends. The paperwork is relentless\, and it takes time away from what matters. \nThis workshop shows you how to use AI to automate the repeatable admin while you stay in control of the key decisions. You’ll learn to turn contracts into task lists\, log and organize project communications\, draft reports and payment claims with AI\, and set up recurring tasks so nothing falls through the cracks. \nWhy this matters: The admin never stops. But it doesn’t have to be all on you. This workshop gives you a system to handle the paperwork faster — so you can focus on running the project. \nYou will learn how to: \n\nTurn a signed contract into a working task list — every obligation\, its clause\, its deadline\, and who owns it\nLog and organize project emails\, RFIs\, instructions\, and meeting notes so nothing slips through\nDraft RFIs and client monthly reports straight from your tracked data\nBuild payment claims with AI while you set the percent complete — AI drafts\, you review and approve\nSet up recurring tasks to help keep projects on track\n\nIntended Audience:\nProject managers\, operations leads\, and estimators who have some familiarity with AI and want to automate the repeatable admin while staying in control of the key decisions. While it’s strongly recommended that you attend Session 1: Data That Actually Works\, if you missed it\, you can access the recording in ECAO’s Learning Centre. \n Where: Live online via Zoom\n$99 (tax incl.) per live session (includes recording) | $79 for recording only\nReimbursement upon course completion \n🔗 Click Here to Register

SUMMARY:AI Workshop Series #4 – Track Progress. Catch Delays. Stay Ahead.
DESCRIPTION:Build schedules\, track labour and delays\, and run weekly look-aheads to stay ahead. \nScheduling is where projects succeed or fail. And delays are where margins disappear. \nYou need to plan the work\, track progress\, and catch delays before they cost you. But the tools are clunky\, the data is messy\, and the GC’s schedule changes constantly. \nThis workshop shows you how to use AI to build schedules from production rates\, sequence\, and critical path — or work with the GC’s schedule. You’ll learn to turn voice notes into daily records\, track delay impacts\, and run weekly look-aheads to coordinate crews and catch roadblocks early. \nWhy this matters: Delays are inevitable. But getting blindsided by them is not. This workshop gives you a system to track progress\, catch delays early\, and support time claims when they happen. \nYou will learn how to: \n\nBuild your own programe or work to the general contractor’s schedule: structure\, durations from production rates\, sequence\, and critical path — AI does the first cut; you own the sequence\nTurn a supervisor’s voice note or quick write-up into a structured daily record of hours\, quantities\, and delays\nRun the weekly look-ahead as a working session to coordinate crews and surface roadblocks before they hit\nLearn why percent complete is yours to set — and why measuring progress by money spent is a trap\nTrack delays and their impacts\, so you can support a claim for time up the chain\, with the time and cost of each option\n\nIntended Audience: Project managers and operations leads who have some familiarity with AI and want to use it to support scheduling\, progress tracking\, and delay management. While it’s strongly recommended that you attend Session 1: Data That Actually Works\, if you missed it\, you can access the recording in ECAO’s Learning Centre. \n Where: Live online via Zoom \n$99 (tax incl.) per live session (includes recording) | $79 for recording only\nReimbursement upon course completion \n🔗 Click Here to Register \nYour Guide: Josh Turner\, PMP\, ContractorOS — An industry expert with hands-on construction experience who has figured out how to make AI practical\, rather than a tech guru with no site experience. \nNeed to Know: \n\nWhat to bring: A laptop and a working internet connection.

SUMMARY:AI Workshop Series #5 – Manage Contracts\, Changes\, & Risks. Protect Your Revenue.
DESCRIPTION:Draft notices\, build variations\, handle time claims\, and mitigate risks.  \nChange happens on every project. The question is: do you get paid for it? \nContract management is where revenue is protected or lost. A missed notice\, a poorly priced variation\, or a time claim handled wrong can cost you thousands. \nThis workshop shows you the order that protects you: notice first\, prove entitlement\, then price. You’ll learn to use AI to draft notices the moment something changes\, build variations from contract rates\, handle time claims without double-counting\, and run back-to-back checks so you never carry a risk you can’t recover. \nWhy this matters: Every change on site is a potential revenue loss — or gain. This workshop gives you a clear process to protect what you’re owed. \nYou will learn how to: \n\nDraft the right notice to the general contractor or client the moment something changes on site\nBuild a variation with the entitlement case first\, then price it off the rates already in your contract — notice first\, prove entitlement\, then price\nHandle time claims and extensions of time properly\, without double-counting\nRun the back-to-back check so you never carry a risk down to your own suppliers or labour that you cannot recover from above\n\nIntended  Audience: Project managers\, owners\, contract administrators\, and operations leads who have some familiarity with AI and want to use it to support contract management and revenue protection. While it’s strongly recommended that you attend Session 1: Data That Actually Works\, if you missed it\, you can access the recording in ECAO’s Learning Centre. \n💻 Where: Live online via Zoom \n\n\n\n$99 (tax incl.) per live session (includes recording) | $79 for recording only\nCourse Reimbursement upon completion\n\n\n\n🔗 Click Here to Register \nYour Guide: Josh Turner\, PMP\, ContractorOS — An industry expert with hands-on construction experience who has figured out how to make AI practical\, rather than a tech guru with no site experience. \nNeed to Know: \n\n\n\n\n\nWhat to bring: A laptop and a working internet connection. Participants are encouraged to have a real project folder (specs\, drawings\, or data) to work with during the session.\nPayment: Online via PayPal or Invoice.\nCancellation: Full refund (4+ weeks)\, 50% (2–4 weeks)\, no refund (<10 days).
