I run a general contracting company in the Barrie area, Ontario Canada.
We’re still in the early stages of using AI, but it’s already saving us a lot of admin time. We use it to help draft client emails, follow-up messages, quote descriptions, social media content, and project updates. It’s also useful for brainstorming solutions, refining processes, and helping organize thoughts before meetings.
We will also use it for project visualization- entering pictures of existing spaces or exteriors and ask for renderings based on certain changes.
As a small construction company, the biggest value for us isn’t replacing people—it’s reducing the time spent behind a computer so we can focus more on running projects and serving clients. The key is treating AI as a tool to improve efficiency while still relying on your own experience and judgment for the final decisions.
