Inside the Room
What we actually talk about
No theory, no vendor pitches. Here is a sample of what members worked through at the first roundtable, on June 18, 2026.
Reading construction drawings with AI
The holy grail of AEC AI, and an honest look at why nobody has cracked it yet.
Connecting AI to your platforms, read-only
Handing AI a read-only key to tools like QuickBooks and Smartsheet, and why everyone agreed to start read-only.
Shared files that fight back
AI nails your email, then chokes on a shared SharePoint file three people are editing at once.
Voice-to-text that actually saves time
The night’s most enthusiastic thread: dictating with tools like Wispr Flow that read your screen for context.
Meeting transcripts as AI fuel
Recording Teams calls and feeding the transcripts to AI for proposals, project setup, and onboarding.
Renders and massing without the heavy scene
Early massing and render options from generative models, without building a full Lumion or Twinmotion scene.
Faster code and bylaw lookups
Code and bylaw lookups in seconds. The tip that got heads nodding: switch the AI’s internet off, feed it only the codes.
When an agent goes too far
The cautionary tale: an agent turned loose on a full project folder renamed every file and broke every model link. Start narrow.
Roundtables are member-only. This is the kind of detail you only get inside.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Who is this for? +
Leaders, principals, IT directors, or anyone at an architecture, engineering, or construction firm who is responsible for or interested in integrating AI into their firm's operations.
Where does the community live? +
On Circle, a private community platform built for exactly this. It is not another Slack or Teams to keep half-checked. You get the channels by discipline, the roundtable invitations, and the newsletter in one place, on web and mobile.
Is it really free? +
For founding members, yes, and forever. Membership is free to join through August 20, 2026. Join before then and your access stays free, permanently, with no bait-and-switch. After that date, new members pay $150 per firm per month, for up to 3 members from your firm.
What happens after August 20? +
Founding members keep their access free, forever. New members who join after August 20, 2026 pay $150 per firm per month, for up to 3 members from your firm. Joining before the deadline is how you lock in free-forever access.
What's the catch? +
We are a technology partner that works with architecture, engineering, and construction firms. Building a community of the leaders we respect most in this industry is how we want to spend our time and budget. This group exists to be genuinely useful, full stop.
Do you use the group to build products? +
The conversations here do shape what we build. The AI modules we develop for firms come straight from what this group tells us would actually move their week. That said, membership carries no obligation, and we never sell to the group.
Who runs this? +
Reid McConkey and Chris Briggs at Resolved. Reid helps firms identify business opportunities for AI, and Chris builds strategies for AI governance and risk management. Resolved built its practice around architecture, engineering, and construction firms, developing technology strategies that drive business outcomes.
How do I participate? +
Fill out the application form below. Once accepted, you will get access to the channels and be added to the newsletter and roundtable invitations.
Why an application? +
We want to keep this group focused and high-quality. This is specifically for people at AEC firms who are actively working on AI integration, not vendors, not consultants, not people looking to sell to the group.
Is there a peer group for AEC firms adopting AI? +
Yes, this one. Built Intelligence is a practitioner-led peer group for leaders at architecture, engineering, and construction firms putting AI to work, run by Resolved. To our knowledge it is the only dedicated AI peer group run by an AEC-focused MSP, and it exists so firms can learn from what is actually working at firms like theirs.
