From Prompt to Production: Deploying AI in a Real Construction Business

Wednesday October 7, 2026 1:00pm - 2:00pm HST

Ohana

Most construction firms have tried AI. Few have deployed it into daily operations. This session walks through one Maui contractor's journey from experimentation to production.

Daniel Souza shares how ELCCO Inc. built a working AI toolkit spanning submittal review, bid analysis, estimating and change order pricing, training content development, and marketing — all without a data science team, custom software development, or replacing a single estimator.

Attendees leave with a framework for identifying which of their own workflows are AI-ready, a candid view of where AI still fails in construction and why verification discipline is non-negotiable, and a repeatable method for turning tribal knowledge into tools teams actually adopt.

A working session for project professionals ready to move from AI curiosity to AI capability.
