AI TRAINING FOR THE TRADES
Your people are already using AI. Nobody trained them.
Carl Britton Jr. is an AI speaker for construction contractors. He delivers keynotes, half-day workshops, and multi-month programs for NECA, SMACNA, MCA, AGC, and PCA chapters. Twenty years in construction. A Class B General Contractor license. No hype and no vendor pitch.
42 CHAPTERS AND NATIONAL ASSOCIATIONS TRAINED, COAST TO COAST
NECA · MCA · SMACNA · AGC · PCA · BTEA · NERCA
AI training for contractor associations, built by a contractor
Your members do not need another vendor demo. They need someone who has run a job and can show them exactly where AI fits. Pick the format that fits your event.
Keynotes and Workshops
Keynotes run 45 to 60 minutes. Workshops run half a day. Both are fast, practical, and built around the way contractors think. Good fits are annual conventions, chapter education days, and leadership meetings.
AI Intensive for Contractors
Four modules: Foundations, Prompt Mastery, Agents, and Risk and Policy. Members leave with the C.L.E.A.R. prompting framework and the S.A.F.E. data security framework. Both are theirs to keep and teach internally.
AI Mastery Program
Three to six months of training, coaching, and implementation support, plus help writing a company AI policy. Built for organizations that want real capability, not a day of awareness.
ABOUT CARL
He has been on the job. Now he is in the room training your members.
Carl spent 20 years in construction and 15 years in technology. He holds a Class B General Contractor license and an education degree. That mix is rare. It means he knows what a bad day on a jobsite costs, how adults actually learn, and why most training does not stick.
He founded Iron Thread Consulting to fix that. He has written three books. He teaches project managers, estimators, safety managers, foremen, and association leaders. The test he holds himself to is simple. Your members should be able to use what they learned on Monday morning.
SIGNATURE TALKS
Two problems the trades keep paying for
Both talks move fast and land on things your members deal with every week. Book either as a keynote, a half-day workshop, or one piece of a longer program.
KEYNOTE / WORKSHOP
Stop Paying People to Do Robot Work
Your best people spend hours on daily reports, document formatting, chasing RFIs, and rewriting the same three emails. AI handles most of that in minutes. This session shows your members which tools earn their time, how to get output they can trust, and exactly where AI breaks down.
KEYNOTE / WORKSHOP
Stop Managing Projects. Start Owning Relationships.
Everyone says construction is a relationship business. Almost nobody has a system for it. This session covers setting expectations before the job starts, running the hard conversations about change orders and delays, and recovering from a mistake without losing the client.
