Blue Collar AI with Chad Gill

In this episode of Builder Tactics, host Damien Edwards sits down with Chad Gill, founder of VAs for Construction, to explore a groundbreaking topic that’s shaking up the industry: how blue-collar workers are using AI on the construction site.

Together, they explore real-world applications of artificial intelligence by field teams — from streamlining punch lists and tracking job progress to automating repetitive administrative tasks and enhancing communication between the office and the field. Chad shares stories from the trenches, discusses the resistance and excitement AI is generating among tradespeople, and highlights the surprising ways virtual assistants and AI tools are already making a difference for foremen, supers, and site teams.
