Your Team's Best Hours Shouldn't Go to Admin Work

Proposals, RFIs, coordination, compliance— 5+ hours per person, per week. At your billing rates, that math gets expensive fast.

Available Services

AI Roadmapping

Find the Low-Hanging Fruit

Department-level AI opportunity mapping, tool evaluation, and a 90-day implementation plan your team will actually follow.

AI Training

Get Your Team on the Same Page

Executive workshops, team-wide AI training, and leadership alignment sessions. Your team needs to understand what AI means for their work— not just how to prompt.

AI Workflows

Wire AI Into Your Actual Tools

Custom AI integration into your existing tools and processes. Proposal automation, submittal coordination, compliance docs— the work AI should be doing.

AI Advisory

A Guide, Not a Vendor

Monthly strategy sessions, implementation support, and quarterly reviews. Someone who knows your systems and your team.

Where Your Time & Money Are Disappearing

Your team is spending hours on work AI could handle in minutes. Let's fix that.

AI Tool Sprawl

Your team signed up for six AI tools and none of them talk to each other. Scattered experiments, zero ROI.

Firms waste $30-50K/year on unused or overlapping AI subscriptions.

Leadership as Bottleneck

Every AI decision flows through the same 2-3 people. They're already maxed out. Your expertise is trapped in their heads instead of in systems your team can run.

A principal's hour at a $10M firm is worth $5,000 in strategic value.

No AI Strategy

32% of AEC firms have no AI strategy at all. Another 34% are still developing one. Meanwhile, 81% use AI for marketing— but only 36% apply it to project delivery, where the real margin lives.

Growing Pains Without New Hires

You need to scale capacity without scaling headcount. AI gives your existing team leverage to do more.

5+ hours per person, per week— just on coordination. Proposals, submittals, and compliance docs pile on top. (Dodge/Procore 2025, 1,500+ professionals)

Client Transformations

Clients routinely reclaim 15–20+ hours every week and turn multi-day projects into same-day wins. For a 20-person firm, that translates to $1.3M+ in recaptured annual capacity.

Nick Cox

"[Dan] has an ability to deliver fresh insights with stunning clarity... Dan's ability to communicate how to treat AI as a co-intelligence dramatically improved, particularly my document writing, later that day."

Maggie Strong

"I joined the cohort during one of the most intense sprints of my professional and personal life. And what I gained wasn't just better prompts (though those were game-changing); it was clarity, confidence, and the ability to move—fast, smart, and in service to the work I care so deeply about."
