Practical AI Skills & Smart Decision-Making for Construction Managers

What every construction manager should understand about today’s Artificial intelligence (AI) — open vs closed models, why capability keeps rising while cost falls approx. 75% a year, and where AI actually fits in day-to-day work — plus the practical skills to use it well now and turn it into faster, sharper, but still accountable management decisions. The speaker will share practical insights, real-world examples, and actionable tips to help participants apply AI effectively in construction management.

Johnny K.C. Ma, the speaker, is the Founder of OpenDeedigital Limited, a Hong Kong consultancy helping construction companies put AI to work — governed AI agents, document intelligence and workflow automation — and delivering the Hong Kong Institute of Construction’s AI courses. OpenDeedigital has served two Hong Kong-listed companies, and Johnny has delivered CPD seminars on practical AI for several professional institutes in Hong Kong.
