šÆ Find your #1 profit bottleneck before your competitor does ā Free AI Diagnostic: ā www.gofirstconsulting.com
ā Sean Skellenger is the CEO of Skelly Build, an award-winning, woman-founded custom home and renovation firm in Austin, TX. He runs a 40-person fixed-price operation with specialized teams, an in-house cabinet shop, and 365 completed projects sitting in Builder Trend. Most builders let that historical data collect dust. Sean is feeding all of it ā every plan set, cost code, sub bid, and timeline ā into one AI model to make preconstruction his next competitive moat.
In this conversation, Sean breaks down his crawl-walk-run AI adoption roadmap, why preconstruction is where money is made and lost in residential construction, and how his team dedicates 2 hours every week to learning AI from the ground up. He also shares two IBS discoveries that changed how I think about AI on the job site ā including an AI voice agent that calls the PM every morning to report which subs showed up and which didn't, using nothing but regular security cameras. This is one of the most tactical AI-in-construction conversations we've had on Beyond the Bid.
