AI Beyond The Buzz: LCO's Real Story of Transformation

For many in the construction industry, the words claims, estimating, and project controls still spark frustration more than confidence - synonymous with stacks of PDFs, handwritten invoices, messy spreadsheets, and hours of manual data entry. Yet when executives talk about the future, it’s clear that everyone wants to embed AI into their systems and processes to run a tighter ship. So why does reality so often fall short of the vision?

In this session, we’ll share a real story from LCO – Construction and Management Consultants, who have transformed manual processes into modern, AI-powered construction management systems and solutions. We’ll explore some of the most exciting applications of AI in construction management, but more importantly, we’ll focus on what it actually takes to become AI-ready in a traditionally manual industry.

These are transformation stories with all the highs, lows, and lessons - the wins, the missteps, and the moments that reshaped how construction leaders like Patrick are rethinking the industry.
