#778 | Shiva Dhawan | Attentive.ai Artificial Intelligence is no longer the future of construction—it's transforming the industry today.
About this episode
On this episode of The Construction Life Podcast, Manny sits down with Shiva Dhawan from Attentive.ai to explore how AI is revolutionizing estimating, pre-construction, and business operations. Shiva shares the story behind Attentive.ai, how the company was founded, and why contractors across North America are embracing AI-powered workflows to gain a competitive advantage.
Imagine turning around detailed takeoffs and estimates in as little as 24 hours with an impressive level of accuracy, while dramatically reducing the time spent on repetitive manual tasks. That's the promise of AI, and Shiva explains how contractors are using these tools to streamline their estimating process, improve productivity, and scale their businesses.
We also discuss how AI is reshaping construction beyond estimating—from reducing paperwork and administrative bottlenecks to creating smarter workflows that allow contractors to focus on what really matters: building projects, serving clients, and growing their companies.
The result? More efficiency. More profitability. More opportunities to take on additional work. And perhaps most importantly, more time for your family, your friends, and yourself.
If you're curious about how AI can transform your construction business, this is an episode you won't want to miss.
