AI for Managers Programme – ARC Group London

Amy joined the programme to explore how artificial intelligence could be used meaningfully within construction — not as a buzzword, but as a tool to enhance learning, efficiency, and innovation in an industry often slow to adopt digital change.

“To be honest, I didn’t really know much about AI at all. Everyone was talking about it, and there was a mix of excitement and fear about what it meant for our industry. I wanted to gain awareness and understand how it could actually support our sector, my role, and the wider team.”

ARC Group London enrolled in INPD’s AI for Construction Leaders Programme, designed specifically for leaders and managers within the built environment. The course focuses on how generative AI tools such as ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot can improve productivity, support project delivery, and streamline communication across dispersed teams.

“I didn’t know what to expect from the course, but it turned out to be brilliant. It was practical, relevant, and directly related to the challenges we face in construction.”

The programme combined live demonstrations with peer learning and real-world case studies, giving participants the opportunity to see immediate, practical applications of AI in planning, reporting, and communication.

“It was great to have people from different areas of construction on the course – project managers, directors, and operational staff. Hearing how they were already using AI in their roles really brought it to life.”

INPD’s tailored approach helped ARC Group London move beyond curiosity and begin building internal capability around AI-driven tools and workflows, ensuring that innovation becomes part of the company’s culture.

“It really opened our eyes to what’s possible. I came away with a better understanding of how AI could help us work smarter, not harder – and how to start embedding it into everyday practice.”

1. Awareness and confidence around AI – The course helped demystify AI, turning uncertainty into curiosity and practical confidence.
2. Industry relevance – The construction-specific examples showed exactly how tools could support safety, documentation, and communication.
3. A roadmap for embedding AI – The training encouraged Amy and her team to think strategically about how to introduce AI across departments in a safe, sustainable way.

“I’d definitely recommend this course to anyone in construction who wants to understand AI without the jargon. It’s relevant, practical, and helps you see the opportunities straight away.”
