SUMMARY:AI Workshop Series #1 - AI Starts Here: Data That Actually Works
DESCRIPTION:Get your data AI-ready and build the foundation for every session that follows. \n\nYour data is the foundation. If it’s not ready\, nothing else works. \nMost AI training skips the most important step: getting your data ready. You can’t build a reliable AI workflow on a shaky foundation.  \nThis workshop is the starting point for the entire series. We’ll show you exactly how to structure your data\, so AI actually works. You’ll learn the simple rule for what AI handles\, what you check\, and what stays your call. And you’ll walk out with a live project folder and templates ready to go. \nWhy this matters: Without clean\, structured data\, AI is just a fancy guessing machine. This workshop ensures every session that follows works better — because clean inputs decide everything that comes out. \n\nYou will learn how to: \n\n\nSet up a project folder with cost libraries\, production rates\, standard scopes\, and templates so AI works off structured text — not a PDF it skims or generic information \n\n\nUse the human-AI split to decide what AI handles\, what you check\, and what stays your call — so you never trust a bad output and never second-guess a good one \n\n\nWalk out with a live project folder and templates ready to go\, using your data\, your rates\, and your way \n\n\nBuild a repeatable system for keeping your data clean and AI-ready — so every project starts with a solid foundation \n\n\n\n👥 Ideal Audience: Estimators\, project managers\, owners\, and operations leads who have some familiarity with AI and want to build a solid foundation for using it on real projects. This session is strongly recommended as a prerequisite for all other sessions in the series. \n📅 Date: Tuesday\, October 13\, 2026 | 3:00 – 4:30 PM EST \n💻 Where: Live online via Zoom \n💰 Cost: $99 (tax incl.) per live session (includes recording) | $79 for recording only \n🔗 Click Here to Register \n\nYour Guide: Josh Turner\, PMP\, ContractorOS — An industry expert with hands-on construction experience who has figured out how to make AI practical\, rather than a tech guru with no site experience. \n\nNeed to Know: \n\n\nWhat to bring: A laptop and a working internet connection. Participants are encouraged to have a real project folder (specs\, drawings\, or data) to work with during the session. \n\n\nPayment: Online via PayPal or Invoice. \n\n\nCancellation: Full refund (4+ weeks)\, 50% (2–4 weeks)\, no refund (<10 days). Substitutions allowed. \n\n\nAccessibility & Questions: Contact Témoc Vega – tvega@ecao.org
