A.I. Excellence in Construction: Research Briefings

Crossing the Chasm Twice in 2026: How A.I. is Fundamentally Changing Construction Technology


Listen Later

Description

Episode summary: Construction technology must scale first across projects within a company and then across companies in a fragmented industry. The 2026 A.I. Excellence in Construction research report shows that citizen development is compressing the first chasm while the second remains structurally intact.


What you'll learn:

- Why construction's project-based delivery system creates a double scaling challenge that other industries do not face, and how AI-native tools are tactically reshaping the first chasm.

- How 74% individual AI usage alongside 68% organizational unreadiness reveals the internal chasm playing out in real time across construction firms.

- Why the second chasm, scaling across companies in a fragmented industry with different software stacks and owner constraints, persists even as platforms mature.

- What the Minimum Viable Operating Model and case studies from firms like Sundt and Fortis reveal about converting project-level wins into repeatable enterprise patterns.


Who this is for:

- Construction executives, innovation/digital leaders, operations, and IT/security teams who want a pragmatic way to prioritize A.I. pilots.
