Is Your Firm Ready for AI?

A practical guide for architecture, engineering, and construction firms on where AI wins back hours and what needs to be in place first.

What’s Inside the Guide

Where AI wins back billable hours in AEC today: the tasks where firms like yours are already saving time.

The five foundations to get right first: what needs to be in place before you roll AI out, so it delivers results instead of new risks.

An AI readiness checklist: see where your firm stands today and what to tackle next.

An hours-back worksheet: work out your own number and how many hours AI could realistically give back to your team.

Most firms are using AI. Few are seeing results.

70% of architecture and engineering firms now use AI, but only 38% see a measurable impact (Deltek, May 2026). The tools usually aren’t the problem – what sits underneath them is.

AI rolled out on shaky foundations wastes money, frustrates teams, and can put client and project data at risk. Get the foundations right first, and the hours AI promises become hours you actually get back.
