Part 1: Building the foundation for AI

AI is only as useful as the data and processes behind it.

For growing builders, information is often spread across people, spreadsheets, systems, and disconnected workflows. Before adding AI, it’s important to establish the foundation that allows your data to stay accurate, connected and useful.

In the first part of the Connected Homebuilder series, Shinn Consulting Group and Higharc will walk through the fundamentals builders need to establish before putting AI to work:

  • Build a scalable systems foundation: identify the people, processes, and technology that need to work together as you grow.
  • Create a single source of truth: establish consistent product data and shared definitions across your organization.
  • Connect your systems and workflows: understand where information needs to move between teams and platforms.
  • Assess your current foundation: use a practical framework to identify gaps and determine where to start.

You’ll leave with a clearer understanding of what needs to be in place before AI can deliver value, plus a practical framework for assessing your current systems, processes and data.

In Part 2: See what happens when AI puts your trusted product data to work.
