AI cannot scale without structured data. This session breaks down data models, taxonomies, and structured information in plain contractor language. Participants will see how better data foundations improve estimating, prefab, QA/QC, and closeout and prevent costly fragmentation as AI adoption grows.
Participants will learn:
-
Why taxonomies matter for estimating, prefab, QA/QC, and closeout
-
How to structure company data for automation and interoperability
-
Practical examples of parts, assemblies, work packages, and cost codes
