AI Disruptors Changing Project Cost Reporting Forever

Cost Reporting Has Not Changed in 30 Years

Over the last 30 years, construction got better tools. Excel, then ERPs, then project management platforms. If you have worked in cost reporting, you know the process never really changed. Someone still had to pull everything together, format it up, and send out a report that was already out of date before it hit anyone's inbox.

That is what is actually different now. AI is stepping in and doing the work itself. This webinar shows exactly how that plays out, with live demos and a straightforward look at where your team can realistically start.

What This Webinar Covers

Jackson Row, Mastt's North American Lead and a former construction project manager, runs through three AI disruptors already reshaping how capital project teams manage cost reporting. The session is built around live demos, not slides. You will see real tools doing real work.

The webinar covers:

• Why construction managers represent just a small percentage of total AI usage and what that means for your team
• The 3 AI tools already replacing manual cost reporting workflows in construction
• How Mastt's AI reads a PDF contract and updates your cost tracker in seconds
• What AI agents are already doing to remove manual reporting steps on capital projects
• Where most construction teams sit on the AI adoption curve and what moving up looks like
• How to get started this week without needing a full system overhaul

Construction is one of the least AI-enabled industries in the world. That gap is the opportunity.

• Spend 6 to 8 hours each month compiling a cost report
• Deal with errors from broken formula links or missed copy-paste steps
• Manage multiple contracts and struggle to keep your cost tracker current
• Report to school districts, public agencies, or owner clients who expect accurate and timely data
