AI training for general contractors and construction managers
Builders run on documents: RFPs, RFIs, submittals, change orders, minutes and monthly reports. We train the office teams at Massachusetts general contractors and construction managers to use AI the same way, safely, across business development, marketing, finance and project management.
Where your office staff use AI
One course for every department, so the whole firm shares the same vocabulary and standards.

Twelve hours, three sessions
- 1
How AI works, and how to ask
What large language models are and where they fail, the data rules taught before anyone types, and the five-part prompt structure, practiced on a sample RFP and owner letter.
- 2
Organizing context and reusing it
Files and grounding, shared projects, artifacts and skills, and what connectors and Cowork can do, with human checkpoints. Practiced on sample cost reports and meeting notes.
- 3
Verify, govern, choose the model, control cost
The four-question verification pass, your acceptable use policy, model selection and usage costs, then a capstone and written assessment.
Every exercise uses realistic sample documents we supply, never your live projects, so nobody brings confidential files to class. Applying the method to your own work happens after the course.
What stays out of AI at general contractors
Never enter
- Sealed bid numbers and subcontractor pricing shared in confidence
- Safety-incident records and personnel investigations
- Owner contracts that restrict or require disclosure of AI use
Always
- Company accounts only
- Human review before anything leaves the firm
- Check client and contract rules first
How firms like yours pay for it
Construction firms are among the least represented industries in Express awards relative to their size, and firms with 51 to 100 employees, the size where separate BD, marketing, finance and PM roles appear, use the program least. That means the program is there for firms like yours. The course is listed as C-16448 at $1,250 per trainee; twelve trainees match the $15,000 annual Express cap. Commonwealth Corporation makes all award decisions. Read the step-by-step funding guide.
