AI Foundations for Architecture, Engineering and Construction

Move from: “I’ve heard AI is useful” to “I have a framework I can use in my practice from tomorrow.”, 0.2 CPD SACAP and ECSA credit (Cat 1)


ABOUT THIS WORKSHOP

A practical introduction to AI, built for Architects, Engineers and Construction professionals

Most Architects, Engineers and Construction professionals (AEC) know AI is becoming important. Very few have a clear picture of what it actually does, how to use it reliably, or which tools out there are worth their time.

AI Foundations closes that gap. In two hours,  live, online, and free, you'll get a grounded look at what these tools actually do and how to communicate with them effectively.

WHO IS THIS FOR?

Built for AEC professionals who want straight answers

  • You know AI is relevant but haven't found a clear starting point
  • You've tried ChatGPT or similar but aren't getting consistent results
  • You want to understand the landscape before committing to a paid plan

No prior AI experience required, none at all

ATTEND IF YOU ARE:

Architects · Architectural Technologists · BIM Managers · Interior Designers · Project Managers · Practice

Professional communication: AI helps produce clearer, more consistent, and more professional documents. Competitive advantage: Firms are increasingly expecting staff to use AI tools efficiently while maintaining professional judgment

I enjoyed the course and found it to be a great introduction, especially the section on meeting transcription. I would have liked to see more examples of using AI to create images for clients. As an architect, I can see this being a useful way to enhance CAD designs for client presentations. One thing I'd like to see improved is having more control over image generation, as I generally don't like when ChatGPT alters parts of an image that I haven't asked it to change. Overall, it's a great course for beginners.
