Washington Contractors Are Now Working Smarter, Not Harder. Here’s How.

What an incredible week in Washington state! I just had the privilege of delivering five “AI in the Trades” workshops for the forward-thinking members of the SW Washington and Cascade Chapters of NECA. The energy was palpable as project managers, estimators, owners, and foremen discovered how to leverage artificial intelligence to reclaim their time and supercharge their productivity.

In an industry where every minute and every dollar counts, contractors are drowning in administrative tasks. The constant barrage of emails, the complexity of scheduling, and the relentless paperwork are keeping skilled professionals from focusing on what they do best: building. This workshop is designed to solve that exact problem.

But don’t just take my word for it. The results from the attendees speak for themselves.

The Results Are In: A Resounding Success

This wasn’t just another seminar; it was a transformative experience that delivered immediate, tangible value. The feedback was overwhelmingly positive:

  • Exceptional Ratings: A staggering 94% of attendees rated the workshop as either “Excellent – Exceeded expectations” or “Very Good – Met expectations”.
  • 🗣️ Powerful Endorsements: 90% of attendees are “Extremely likely” or “Very likely” to recommend this workshop to other trade professionals.
  • 📈 A Tangible Boost in Confidence: The workshop successfully guided contractors from AI curiosity to AI capability. While most started as novices, 

 87% left feeling confident enough to start implementing AI immediately for work tasks.

From Theory to Action

The most valuable parts of the workshop, according to attendees, were the practical, hands-on lessons especially learning how to write effective prompts and seeing how to build custom AI “Agents” to automate daily work.

Attendees left not just inspired, but with a clear plan. Their first targets for AI implementation are the biggest time-sinks in their day:

  • Tackling the inbox by drafting email responses.
  • Organizing and planning schedules and daily tasks.
  • Streamlining paperwork like RFIs, submittals, and daily reports.
