How it works

Learn it by hand first. Then let AI do the heavy lifting.

You learn the job first. Then you learn to run it with AI, and check its work.

STEP 01

Learn the fundamentals

Short self-paced courses on the real skill: takeoffs, pricing, follow-up. Taught the way we've taught it for 40 years.

Evergreen
STEP 02

Add the AI layer

A live webinar shows you how to do that same job with AI, then check its work.

Live AI Webinars
STEP 03

Make it yours.

Tell your AI what you want, check what it gives you, improve it over time. You're the one who catches what it gets wrong.

Yours to keep
Example · Estimating

The self-paced course teaches you to run a takeoff by hand, so every quantity is yours. The live AI webinar shows you how to fast-track that takeoff to save hours — and because you know takeoffs cold, you spot the moment AI miscounts a wall or misses a spec. AI moves fast. You keep it honest.

Three programs · one marketplace

Three programs, in the order the job runs.

Get the lead, win the bid, run the job. Each program is five courses — the self-paced skill paired with a live webinar that accelerates it with AI. Start with one, or unlock all three.

Live, every week

How the live AI webinars run.

One live session per program each week, taught by an instructor. Five sessions per cycle, same time, same format.
