AI in the Built Environment

 Real prompts. Clear examples. Written for professionals in all sectors of the Built Environment, not programmers. 

 AI in the Built Environment is a straight-talking guide for professionals working in construction, surveying, architecture, and project delivery.

It explains how tools like ChatGPT and Copilot can be used to save time, improve documents, reduce admin, and explore options , with real prompts and clear examples throughout.

There’s no jargon, no filler, and no exaggerated claims. Just practical help written by someone who’s worked with drawings, defects, deadlines and documents.
