Designing Smarter: AI’s Impact on the Early Stages of Building

As the first step in any project, planning and design set the tone for everything that follows. This panel will explore how artificial intelligence is reshaping these early stages—from site analysis and feasibility studies to conceptual modeling and generative design. Panelists will discuss how AI-powered tools are being used to streamline decision-making, enhance collaboration across disciplines, and optimize designs before ground is ever broken. Framing the conversation at the front end of the construction lifecycle, this session will examine the opportunities and limitations of AI in helping teams design smarter, faster, and with greater precision from the start.

Design, Make, Assemble: AI’s Role in DFMA, Offsite, and Manufacturing

The construction industry is increasingly turning to Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DFMA), offsite construction, and advanced manufacturing techniques to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and enhance quality. In this panel, we’ll explore how artificial intelligence is supporting these transformative approaches, from the design phase to on-site assembly. Panelists will discuss how AI is optimizing workflows, streamlining the design-to-production process, and enabling smarter decision-making in offsite and modular construction. Through real-world examples, we’ll explore the challenges and successes of integrating AI in manufacturing and assembly processes, and how it can help unlock the full potential of DFMA in today’s construction projects.

11:25am – 12:00pm

AI Evolution in Project Software

As AI continues to evolve, its integration into project management processes is gradually reshaping the way projects are planned, monitored, and delivered. This panel will focus on how AI tools are being used to improve project efficiency, from automating routine tasks and optimizing scheduling to enhancing risk management and data-driven decision-making. Panelists will share their experiences with adopting AI in real-world project environments, discussing both the challenges and benefits. Attendees will gain practical insights into how AI can complement project management practices, reduce operational inefficiencies, and drive better outcomes, without the need for radical overhauls of existing workflows.

12:00pm -1:00pm

Lunch

1:00pm – 1:35pm

SmartTech: Automated Jobsite Technology

As construction jobsites evolve, automation technologies are moving from concept to core. This panel explores how robotics, sensors, AI-powered equipment, and real-time monitoring systems are transforming how work gets done in the field. Industry leaders will discuss the current state of jobsite automation, key drivers of adoption, and real-world outcomes from early deployments. We’ll examine what’s working, what’s not, and what it takes to scale these technologies across diverse projects. Whether you're evaluating tools for productivity gains or exploring long-term digital strategies, this session will offer practical insights into the future of the automated jobsite.

1:35pm – 2:10pm

Leveraging AI for Smarter, Sustainable Solutions in Infrastructure

In today’s rapidly evolving world, infrastructure projects must meet both the demands of sustainability and the complexities of modern urbanization. This panel will explore how artificial intelligence is enhancing infrastructure development, from design to execution and ultimately to the closing stages of a project lifecycle. Panelists will discuss how AI tools are being used to optimize energy efficiency, reduce environmental impact, and improve long-term sustainability in infrastructure projects. They will also address how AI is transforming the final stages of the project lifecycle, including maintenance, monitoring, and asset management, ensuring that infrastructure continues to deliver value long after completion. Attendees will gain insights into how AI is driving smarter, more sustainable infrastructure solutions, ensuring that projects not only meet current needs but also contribute to the future resilience of cities and communities.
