What happens when decades of project experience become easier to access and apply?
That question was at the center of the conversation during the New York Building Congress Council on Innovation & Best Practices meeting, co-chaired by Luc Wilson, KPF's Global Director of Design Technology; Tom Giordano, General Manager of Suffolk Construction; and Jim Dray, Principal and Chief Information Officer at Thornton Tomasetti, which Infinite Consulting Corp. was proud to attend.
Industry leaders explored how organizations are building AI solutions around their own expertise, making institutional knowledge more accessible and helping teams make more informed decisions. Presentations from Jim Dray (Thornton Tomasetti), Arnessa Novaj (STV), Azira Morteza (STV), and Benjamin Friedman (DLR Group) highlighted practical applications of data, AI, and digital innovation across the built environment.
One discussion that stood out focused on program management dashboards, where teams can interact with project data through natural language to gain clearer visibility into schedules, budgets, risks, and performance.
Across every presentation, one theme remained consistent: technology creates the greatest impact when it helps people turn knowledge into action.
Thank you to the New York Building Congress, the Council on Innovation & Best Practices leadership, and the presenters for an insightful discussion. At Infinite Consulting Corp., we remain focused on bringing together expertise, data, and practical solutions that support stronger project outcomes.
