Training overview
Engineering & construction vertical
AI training for teams that build in the real world.
Practical AI workshops for E&C leaders, proposal teams, and project delivery groups. Built around the documents your teams already use: RFPs, specs, RFIs, change orders, meeting notes, and owner updates.
The goal is not a generic AI demo. The goal is a working operating model your people can use on Monday, with clear limits around licensed work, client confidentiality, procurement rules, and safety-critical decisions.
Why This Is Different
Generic AI advice breaks down fast in engineering and construction.
E&C teams operate with PE stamps, bonding requirements, public procurement rules, safety obligations, subcontractor pricing, and client confidentiality. That changes where AI belongs and where it absolutely does not.
These workshops separate useful augmentation from risky automation, then turn that judgment into repeatable team practices: approved tools, prompt patterns, review checkpoints, data tiers, and ownership.
Workshop Portfolio
Three practical entry points for E&C adoption.
Each workshop can stand alone, or they can be sequenced into a broader adoption plan for leadership, pursuit teams, and project delivery.
Win More Bids with AI
Build a proposal pipeline that extracts requirements, produces compliance matrices, drafts from approved prior art, and red-teams submissions.
- RFP deconstruction
- Compliance matrix
- Evaluator-style review
AI Copilot for Project Delivery
Reduce documentation burden across OAC notes, RFIs, spec questions, change orders, and owner communications.
- Meeting notes to action register
- Spec Q&A with citations
- Change order narratives
Custom Adoption Program
For firms that need a cohesive rollout: leadership alignment, policy, training, pilot support, and change management.
- Executive briefing
- Team enablement
- Follow-up operating rhythm
Guardrails
Adoption needs judgment before scale.
Licensed work stays human
AI can draft, summarize, compare, and critique. It does not sign calculations, replace professional judgment, or make safety-critical decisions.
Confidential data gets tiers
Owner data, contracts, project financials, and subcontractor pricing need explicit rules before teams paste anything into AI tools.
Procurement gets checked
Public bids have compliance details that AI can help surface, but humans still own attestations, commitments, pricing, and final submission quality.
Field adoption starts with work
Superintendents and project managers adopt AI when it saves time on RFIs, notes, updates, and specs, not when it feels like another platform rollout.
Process
From scoping to practical use.
Step 1
Scoping call
Review your firm type, current tools, pursuit pipeline, project delivery workflow, policy constraints, and training audience.
Step 2
Document-informed design
Shape the workshop around representative RFPs, specs, meeting notes, RFIs, change narratives, and approved prior art.
Step 3
Hands-on workshop
Teams work through real prompts, outputs, review steps, and operating rules with the tools they are likely to use.
Step 4
Follow-up adoption support
Turn what worked into a repeatable playbook, measure adoption, and identify the next pilot or workflow to improve.
About Larry
Enterprise AI judgment from someone who has shipped at scale.
Larry Waldman co-founded Microsoft Teams, advised and presented to senior leaders at Microsoft, DoorDash, and client companies, and built AI strategy and AI-enabled workflows across infrastructure and operations.
That background matters for E&C teams because adoption is not just prompt training. It is product judgment, change management, security, governance, and practical workflow design.
