New Title from NAHB’s BuilderBooks Offers Advice on Using AI in Residential Construction

BuilderBooks, the publishing arm of the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) released a new title, AI in Residential Construction: A Blueprint for Lasting Impact and Success.

Artificial Intelligence is already shaping the residential construction industry, and the builders who learn to use it now will define the next decade of the industry. AI for Residential Construction: A Blueprint for Lasting Impact and Success will show how artificial intelligence can transform every corner of a business-from estimating and bookkeeping to design visualization, client communication and workforce management.

Author Grace Tsao Mase brings a wealth of knowledge in AI and digital innovation. She is a Yale-trained architect with over 25 years of digital innovation experience, and a multi-state licensed contractor, who has worked alongside contractors on more than 5,000 projects, earned three U.S. patents, and built AI-powered solutions that make the construction process smoother, faster, and far more profitable.

"Artificial intelligence is a growing part of our industry and is here to stay," said NAHB Chairman Bill Owens, a Worthington, Ohio-based, remodeler and home builder. "This new resource will teach housing professionals how to better incorporate these tools into their business by streamlining processes and creating success through better management of data, decisions and time."

Readers will hear from builders and remodelers from across the country who are already successfully using AI to:

  • Complete projects up to 30% faster without sacrificing quality
  • Eliminate costly miscommunications with smarter scheduling and documentation
  • Win more bids through realistic 3D visuals and accurate projections
  • Forecast risks, manage cash flow and increase profit margins
  • Build healthier, safer and more resilient homes for modern families
