AI in construction is no longer optional. In this episode of Specify Talks, we explore how artificial intelligence is transforming the construction industry - from tendering and estimating to strategy, ethics, and leadership.

Jonathan Payne and Gerard Graham are joined by Suzanne Hill, founder of AI for SMEs, to break down AI in plain English for construction businesses. This conversation goes beyond tools like ChatGPT and focuses on what really matters: strategy, people, data, and process. Suzanne shares insights from working with major contractors, scaling construction businesses from £60m to £200m, and why ignoring AI is now a commercial risk.

We also discuss AI-assisted tendering, bid / no-bid decisions, automation in estimating, and why every construction company needs an AI ethics policy. If you work in construction, engineering, architecture, or the built environment and want to understand how AI will impact your business, this episode is essential viewing.
