Building with Intelligence: The Role of AI in Construction Management
In this episode of the Construction Leaders Podcast, hosts Nick Soto and Evan Hendershot from CMAA are joined by members of CMAA’s Technology Subcommittee—including Jarvis Alridge, CCM, project controls department manager at HNTB; Marty Turner, CCM, director of projects for Turner & Townsend; and Vincent Testa, PE, CCM, director of strategic growth at Procon Consulting—for a forward-looking conversation on the role of artificial intelligence in construction management. The discussion covers how AI is being used on job sites for safety monitoring, progress tracking, and real-time data collection with tools like sensors and 3D cameras. The guests dispel common myths, emphasizing that AI is meant to support—not replace—human expertise. They also explore AI’s administrative advantages, from automated reporting to improved communication workflows. Looking ahead, the panel predicts a sharp rise in AI adoption as firms seek a competitive edge, with more AI capabilities being embedded directly into construction management platforms.
