There is a project taking shape in your city right now, filed under entitlements and conditional use permits, and it might be from a company you have never talked to. In a clip from yesterday's webinar, Briq shows how Otto surfaces that signal, finds the right person, and gives you the opening to reach out before anyone else does. That is the part no traditional CRM does today.

We go live in two hours. Find Your Next Project in the Age of AI starts today at 1 PM ET.

The market got more crowded, margins got tighter, and a lot of the work you used to hear about never reaches you anymore. Bassem Hamdy, Reagan Enger, and Ellis Talton are getting into what changed about finding and winning work, and where AI fits.

Most construction companies don't hear about a project until it's out for bid. By then they're one of ten contractors fighting over the same scope. The opportunities are already public. They're sitting in planning minutes, permit filings, regional news, and the 10K reports of every public company in...

For most of construction's history, how much work you could find came down to how much ground your team could cover. It was the markets you knew, the relationships you kept warm, and the bid lists you happened to be on.

AI changes how much of a market you can see at once. A single city produces more public signals about future construction than any team could read by hand, from planning agendas to permits to regional filings. The advantage is no longer just knowing the right people. It is seeing the work early enough to act on it.

This Wednesday, Bassem Hamdy and Ellis Talton talk through what that means for how contractors grow, then show how Otto reads a market's public record and surfaces the projects worth chasing, live.

Here is something most construction leaders run into without naming it. They bring AI into estimating, then business development, then project management. Each one helps. Each one stays in its own lane.

So the estimator never sees what BD learned about the account. The PM never sees the assumptions behind the bid. Everyone did their job, and the work still stalls in the handoffs between teams.

That is the difference between adding AI tools and orchestrating them. One approach speeds up a single task. The other coordinates the whole project, from lead to award and into the build itself.

Someone on your team builds an AI tool over the weekend and it works. So why pay for software? Why not just build it yourselves?

That is the trap. A tool that works once for one person is a very different thing from the AI that runs a construction business every day, on real money.

Here are the seven things a build has to get right first: data modeling, integration, security and permissions, reliability, governance, team adoption, and domain knowledge.

The best time to win a project is before it ever becomes a bidding war.

Find the work while it is still in planning and you get the things that actually decide who wins: time to build the relationship, room to price it right, and the freedom to chase only the jobs worth your time.

On June 17, Bassem Hamdy and Ellis Talton show how Lead Genius surfaces real projects in your region early enough to act on them.

Most construction companies open their AI conversation with the technology, asking which tool to buy and which demo to sit through. That order is backwards.

The companies seeing real return start with the business. They name the specific reasons new revenue stalls, margin leaks on closed jobs, and overhead keeps climbing. Only then do they ask whether AI can move any of it.

Work through the nine questions in the carousel against your own numbers first. That is what an AI roadmap built on the business looks like.

A $200M general contractor lost a long-standing client to a smaller, faster competitor. The client was blunt about why. The other firm turned a bid around in 48 hours that took them two weeks.

Here is what most firms miss. The companies winning the most work right now are not always the biggest. They are the ones using AI to find and qualify their next project before anyone else has it on the radar.

On June 17, Bassem Hamdy and Ellis Talton are hosting a live session on exactly how that is happening in construction today. They will get into what early movers are actually doing, where AI is creating real pipeline, and how to start without tearing out the systems you already run. The session is practical, the examples are real, and there is time for questions.

Most construction companies have decided they want to do something with AI this year. Very few have actually moved on it.

The blocker is almost never the technology. It is figuring out where to put it first. Every workflow looks like a candidate, every department has a case, and the planning gets bigger until nothing ships.

Pick the workflow that is costing you the most this quarter and run that one on Otto. Drawings, AP, lead intake, whatever is bleeding hours or money right now.

The rest of the platform is there when you want it.
