Won a Job Above Your Head? Fix This Before You Add AI
From The Contender’s Edge · 34:00
Show by SMARTBUILD Construction Solutions
Your team is already using AI. The real question is whether they’re using it safely. In this episode of The Contender’s Edge from SMARTBUILD Construction Solutions, Vinay Nair sits down with Jack Enfield, Vice President of Computer Dimensions, an Arizona managed IT provider that supports contractors, to talk about what has to be in place before AI pays off: infrastructure, guardrails and data quality. Jack explains why so much construction software “doesn’t work” (it’s usually the foundation, not the tool), why acceptable use policies matter now that crews are pasting RFIs and contracts into chatbots, and why consistency beats perfection when it comes to getting field data into the system. They also cover the labour shortage, getting young people productive fast, and why projects in commercial construction keep getting bigger. Nothing replaces the skilled trades.
