"We tried ChatGPT once. It gave us something generic and we moved on. I'm not sure what we're supposed to use it for."
"My team knows AI exists. But nobody is using it consistently, and I have no idea what good usage even looks like in our context."
"We're quoting jobs, writing scopes, and chasing submittals every week. If AI can cut any of that time, I need to know exactly how."
"The finance team spends hours every week writing the same types of reports and emails. There has to be a better way."
What changes for your team
This session moves people from uncertain observers to confident, practical users. Here is what shifts.
They stop using AI wrong
Most people who tried AI and gave up were using vague, one-line prompts. The workshop shows exactly why that fails and how to fix it immediately.
They know which tasks to focus on
Not every task belongs in AI. Teams leave with a framework for identifying where AI saves the most time with the least risk, specific to construction work.
They have a prompt library to use Monday
The micro hackathon builds real, reusable prompts during the session. Participants leave with tested outputs for their actual job functions.
Leadership has a clear picture of next steps
The session closes with a view of the full AI maturity path, from ad hoc usage through automations and beyond. Leadership walks away with strategic context.
Session structure
Two 90-minute sessions with a break in between. Every section alternates between focused instruction and hands-on exercises so attention never drops.
Building the foundation
Applying it at work
Built for office-based construction professionals
This workshop is designed for the people who run construction projects from the office: the finance teams, operations staff, project coordinators, and executive leaders who spend their days writing, reporting, and communicating.
It does not require technical experience. No coding, no prior AI knowledge. If your team writes emails and produces reports, they are the right audience.
Not designed for
- Field personnel and site crews
- IT teams looking for a technical deep-dive
- Teams who need implementation support rather than foundational training
Format options
The session is available in both virtual and in-person formats. Choose what fits your team and logistics.
Virtual
Delivered via Zoom Webinars or your platform of choice. Exercises are structured for remote participation. Works well for distributed teams across multiple offices or time zones.
In-Person
On-site at your office or event venue. In-person sessions allow for more dynamic group exercises and are particularly effective for leadership teams. Travel expenses apply.
Concrete outcomes, not just awareness
Every element of the session is designed to produce something people can use the next morning.
The PRIME Framework
A five-step prompting method built for construction professionals. Memorable, practical, and immediately applicable to any writing task.
A personal prompt library
Tested, reusable prompts built during the hackathon for their actual job functions. Not a template they have to figure out later.
A task prioritization framework
The quadrant exercise gives each participant a clear view of where to apply AI first in their own role, based on time savings and risk.
A practical safety baseline
Clear guidance on what is and is not appropriate to run through AI tools, with specific recommendations for construction finance contexts.
A roadmap of what comes next
Leadership walks away understanding the full AI maturity path for their organization and what each level looks like in practice.
A free productivity tool
Every participant receives access to a take-home AI prompt optimizer to accelerate their prompting between sessions.
Adileh Mountain is an independent advisor with 15 years of hands-on construction operations, ERP implementation, and process transformation experience, including senior commercial roles on major LNG joint ventures and four years at a Big 4 firm. She is not an AI vendor, a software consultant, or a technology evangelist.
She founded Strat Scale Advisory to bring diagnostically credible, vendor-agnostic advice to mid-market general contractors. The AI workshop is built from that same foundation: no hype, no tool recommendations that benefit anyone but the client, and no content that does not apply to how construction companies actually work.
