“The more you listen to podcasts, the more you realize that for every industry, AI is adopt and change, or get left in the dust. I am a big fan of the “All In” podcast. It’s loaded with timely information from 4 Tech billionaires. One of them has become the AI Czar to President Trump.

In some ways AI is like “smart house” or “green” changes from the past decade, but far broader, more impactful and relevant to all areas of our companies, and likely to change what we expect out of our homes.

We know it will change our businesses in the next decade, but how, and how do we keep up?

At Nelson Construction, we are becoming more “tech savvy” as a company, using Blue Beam, Fieldwire, Smartsheet, Building Connected and ipads in the field. But we are not doing much AI yet, other than ChatGPT for help with writing documents or as a research assistant.

I figured I would ask ChatGPT to write an article for me on AI and the building industry. Here is what I asked….

  1. How can homebuilder companies in the USA use AI?
  2. Can it make a business more profitable?
  3. Are homebuilders using AI now, give examples.
  4. Is it changing how we build or what we can expect in future new homes?
  5. What percentage of homebuilding companies use AI now?

Try it yourself, and you will be surprised at the answers.
