Smart Solutions Series: Lessons Learned from Early Adopters

Description

 2026 Smart Solutions Series for Contractors

Join AGC Houston for the second installment of the 2026 Smart Solutions Series featuring a fireside chat with Skanska leaders as they share a practical look at how one of the industry’s leading builders is evaluating, adopting and scaling AI across the business.

Designed for construction professionals at every level, this session will break down AI in a way that is accessible for both small and large contractors. The conversation will explore why AI matters for the future of construction, how Skanska’s data strategy created the foundation for AI adoption, and how tools like Safety Sidekick and Operational Risk Sidekick are helping project teams improve planning, access institutional knowledge and support better decision-making.

Panelists will share real-world lessons learned on:

• Transforming disconnected project data and unstructured information into actionable insights
• Evaluating AI use cases and deciding when to build, buy or leverage existing platforms
• Balancing innovation with cybersecurity, data privacy and risk management
• Supporting employees through training, change management and human-in-the-loop workflows
• Understanding what’s next with AI agents and agentic workflows in construction

Attendees will leave with practical takeaways, a stronger understanding of common AI terminology, and clear guidance on the dos and don’ts of implementing AI responsibly within their organizations.

This is a free program for AGC Houston members.
