Attended the Future of Real Estate: Future of Affordable Housing last Friday at the Fairmont Palliser in Calgary. Great speaker, great panel, and some interesting conversations. Aled ab Iorwerth gave an enlightening keynote - among other challenges, the gap between current housing starts and what we need to meet demand. Panelists Dave Hooge, Ann-Marie Lurie, Jaydan Tait, Mike McAra each brought different perspectives to the panel conversation. Mike gave several big shoutouts to Luke West, MBA and Collegium as a Proptech solution the build capacity gap. Thank you to the Alberta Real Estate Foundation for sponsoring the event, the Westman Centre for Real Estate Studies, the Haskayne School of Business, and the University of Calgary for hosting. Thank you to Propra for the invitation.

Industry has taken 2 approaches to AI-adoption initiatives: 1) Easy to implement, low cost/risk, low-reward (eg: MS Copilot, ChatGPT). 2) Complex and long path to implement, high-cost/risk, high-reward (eg: predictive estimating & supply chain management) “Reward” in this case refers to a measurable improvement in construction project productivity and/or profitability 📈📉 Most are doing (1); few have the budget, resources, or quality of data for (2). This is leaving productivity and profitability stagnant. 💩 It’s clear industry needs a third option: Easy to implement, low cost/risk, high-reward. 🦄 ConstructIQ Advisory and Prairies Proptech Association are providing you option (3) with its #AIAdoption initiative. 🇨🇦Over 40 emerging technology companies exist in the Western Canadian ecosystem, providing easy to implement and cost-effective solutions directly addressing aspects to improve productivity & profitability. 📊Leveraging grants, private funding, and in-kind sponsorship, this results-oriented initiative provides applicants the opportunity to explore and adopt these solutions with significantly less risk, cost, and time; and recieve ROI sooner than option (2). If your strategy and approach to AI-adoption is missing (3), then you are seriously missing the boat.🛥️ 😎Don’t sink, the next corhort is setting sail soon and limited to 30 applicants.
