The AI for Electrical Contractors: ECAO Workshop Series

July 17, 2026

Most AI training for contractors is heavy on hype and light on a roadmap. You get lectures, buzzwords, and flashy demos. Generic prompt training that could apply to any industry, but rarely tailored to electrical work. You get warnings like “verify the output,” but few show you how to use AI as a tool that handles 𝘰𝘯𝘭𝘺 repeatable tasks, while you stay in control.

The AI for Electrical Contractors: ECAO Workshop Series fixes that: Five hands-on, 90-minute virtual sessions that teach you exactly where AI fits in your work, where it doesn’t belong, and how to build a system that actually works — using your data, your projects, and your way.

Oct 13, 3PM EST

AI Starts Here: Data that Actually Works – Best taken before the other sessions

  • Walk out with a live project folder and templates ready to go.

From Takeoff to Bid: catch Missed Scope. Keep the Margin

  • Walk away with a repeatable estimating process while keeping every load-bearing number in your own hands.

PM’s Daily Engine: Automate the Admin. Run the Project

  • Walk away with an AI-powered admin system where AI handles the repeatable paperwork, while the inputs that matter stay with you.
Nov 11, 2pm EST

Track Progress. Catch Delays. Stay Ahead

  • Walk away with an AI-powered programme and a clear read on labour and progress — while you own the sequence, progress, and delay response.
Nov 17, 2pm EST

Manage Contracts, Changes, & Risks. Protect your Revenue

  • Walk away with a clear process for managing change with AI — notice first, prove entitlement, then price — while the strategy and numbers stay in your control.

Instructor

Josh Turner, PMP ContractorOS is an industry expert with hands-on construction experience who has figured out how to make AI practical, rather than a tech guru with no site experience.
