On "AI Adoption in Construction Takes More Than Speed"

Speed-first AI rollouts are a trap, especially in trades where trust and competence matter more than being first. The real cost isn't the tools themselves—it's the crew that gets trained on version one, watches you swap it out for version two six months later, and stops believing you know what you're doing. You need a clear problem to solve before you pick the software, not the other way around. That takes patience, and it's the only way adoption actually sticks on job sites.
