2024 marks a tipping point for construction – it’s the year in which data has become more important than even dollars as the currency of the industry. Data informs decisions, helps us be more productive and efficient, and shapes how we spend our money. Without good data, stakeholders are grasping in the dark — and in an increasingly complex and demanding environment, that’s not just frustrating, but dangerous and commercially irresponsible. This session addresses the urgent need for leaders to adopt a data strategy to overcome challenges and redefine project outcomes. Learn about: · Why data literacy is critical for your business · The strategic benefits of well-structured data · How a robust data asset sets you up for success with AI Register now to join us Wednesday, 14 February at noon AEDT for a journey into the future of data excellence in construction.

It’s not just you: Uncertainty in construction really is unusually high these days. Whether because of inflationary pressures, adverse weather events, or shifts in materials availability – or all of those factors – successful project control demands an ever more delicate balancing act between scope, cost, and schedule. But helpful tools and techniques are out there. Join Brad Barth, Chief Product Officer and John Upton, Vice President of Control at InEight, as they discuss integrating scope, cost and schedule to optimize project controls, even in the face of the most daunting uncertainties. Tune in to learn about:

• Aligning risk analysis across scope, cost and schedule.
• Steering clear of common pitfalls when enhancing project controls.
• Overcoming the challenges of integrating risk management.

In an industry steeped in tradition, we are on the cusp of an exciting, AI-driven transformation. Join us for part two of this provocative webinar series as we examine AI's potential within a cautious construction landscape. Explore how current research is reshaping perceptions, propelling AI from scepticism to strategic advantage. See how advanced data integration fuels AI's capabilities and unlocks the doors to precise scope, cost, and schedule management. InEight’s Rob Bryant returns as moderator for part two. He will be joined by Ajoy Bhattacharya of Microsoft, Dr. Ali Khaloo of Aren, and Professor Eduard Hovy of Melbourne Connect as they discuss real-world success stories on leveraging AI’s power. In this webinar, you’ll learn

• How current research is altering traditional perceptions and paving the way for AI’s acceptance in construction.
• How advanced data integration empowers AI and propels it toward a revolutionary new level of project management.
• Steps to harness AI’s capabilities and foster growth within a traditionally sceptical construction sector.

Please note that this is a replay of recorded discussion, but Rob and Professor Hovy will join at the webinar’s conclusion for a live question and answer session.      

Bid too high, lose the job. Bid too low, lose your margins. What's a profit-minded, growth-oriented company to do? Join our conversation with Quanta Services' Jody Greer, Director of Estimating & Project Controls, to hear how Quanta modernized its estimating work to balance their win rare with accuracy and scale their estimating function in a fast-paced environment. You'll learn first-hand the details of how they transformed their estimating process, including during their acquisition of operating units, allowing them to expand into new international markets. In short, how they learned to bid it like they build it, and how you can too. Key Learning Objectives:

• Standardizing estimating processes for growth without losing expertise and autonomy across your operating units
• Gaining complete control of your cost breakdown structure, i.e., estimating based on actual work procedures that are used to do the job
• Meeting customer bid requirements on your terms, giving your clients what they need without giving up your proprietary data and maintaining your estimating process
• Enhancing the accuracy of your estimating team while increasing their productivity
• Embracing the right "bid it-built it" technology, increasing confidence and improving hit ratio

In an industry proudly rooted in tradition, a positive transformative force is emerging — artificial intelligence (AI). "How To Unleash AI’s Potential in Construction" is a thought-provoking two-part webinar series that illuminates a practical, real-world path to harnessing AI's potential within a skeptical construction landscape. In part one of this intriguing webinar series, join InEight’s Rob Bryant, K.P Reddy of Shadow Ventures, Salla Eckhardt of OAC, and Samaneh Zolfagharian of Yegatech as they embark on a journey into the world of AI's truly boundless possibilities in construction. Our panel will tackle the challenge of preparing an industry that hasn't fully grasped the value of AI. They'll examine the realm of AI's practical applications, shatter skepticism, and provide a roadmap for achieving AI readiness. In this webinar, you’ll learn about:

• The current state of AI in construction
• How real-world applications are impacting project efficiency and productivity
• How to uncover AI's untapped potential
• The importance of data quality and connected systems in ensuring AI's success and industry relevance
