Transforming Construction from the Core: Converting Data and AI Investments into Lasting Strategic Advantage

26 January 2027

Austin, TX, USA

The conversation around AI in construction has shifted from experimentation to accountability. The question is no longer whether AI can create value, but where it can deliver the greatest return.

Research shows that more than 74% of construction leaders expect AI and automation to have a significant impact on efficiency and cost control over the coming years, yet many organizations remain caught between two extremes: investing heavily without a clear road map or delaying adoption and risking a widening competitive gap.

Success lies in finding the balance. The challenge isn’t simply adopting new technology. It’s building a credible business case, prioritizing high-value use cases, integrating data across the organization, and ensuring investments deliver measurable ROI.

Whether you’re evaluating your first AI initiatives or scaling enterprise-wide transformation, the AI & Data Transformation in Construction Summit Austin is designed to help you invest smarter, accelerate results, and avoid costly missteps.

Join construction, digital, and data leaders this January in Austin to discover how to turn AI ambition into business value, prioritize the right investments, and build a trusted data foundation.
