# Lessons Lesson 00 is the construction vocabulary; lessons 01-10 are AI Builder Academy's course, rewritten for agents to teach their humans; lessons 11-16 cover openBIM (IFC, IDS, BCF), connecting the construction stack, lean construction (LCI), VDC (Stanford CIFE), commercial control and ISO 19650; the playbooks are start-here paths by role. Each lesson has key ideas, an exercise and check questions with answers.

Moving from being a passive user of AI tools to becoming a creator and architect of AI solutions (AI Builder) applied to construction, architecture and engineering. - **[Lesson 02 · Spotting Bottlenecks and the Tech Stack](https://aibuilderacademy.netlify.app/learn/02-bottlenecks-and-stack.md)** — Hands-on analysis of workflows across the construction project life cycle. Identifying inefficient processes and mapping the right AI technologies to optimize them. - **[Lesson 03 · Prototype Development and Deployment](https://aibuilderacademy.netlify.app/learn/03-prototypes.md)** — Rapid prototyping of AI tools for construction. From idea to functional MVP, integrating site video analysis, dynamic forms, and migrating to a professional local development environment (IDE) versus agentic CLI tools like Claude Code. - **[Lesson 04 · Creating Skills](https://aibuilderacademy.netlify.app/learn/04-creating-skills.md)** — How to give an existing agent expert knowledge through 'Skills'. We revisit the Module 3 video site inspector and give it Lean Construction expertise, built with Antigravity and Claude Cowork from the Lean Construction Institute's body of knowledge. - **[Lesson 05 · Information Architecture for Housing Projects](https://aibuilderacademy.netlify.app/learn/05-information-architecture.md)** — How to structure a project's unstructured data (drawings, calculation reports, HOA manuals, Excel budgets) so an AI system can work with it without losing precision. - **[Lesson 06 · Databases: the Persistent Backend of the AI Ecosystem](https://aibuilderacademy.netlify.app/learn/06-databases.md)** — The site inspector findings (M3), diagnosed by the lean skill (M4) and enriched with regulatory citations (M5), currently only live for the duration of a chat session. This module gives them a permanent home: a real relational database — the backbone of any AI product in construction. - **[Lesson 07 · Multi-Specialist Agents for Productivity](https://aibuilderacademy.netlify.app/learn/07-multi-specialist-agents.md)** — Multi-agent systems where several specialized intelligences collaborate to solve a complex problem. One agent acts as the architect, another as the cost engineer, another as the legal inspector. - **[Lesson 08 · Data Governance](https://aibuilderacademy.netlify.app/learn/08-data-governance.md)** — Critical aspects of security, ethics and legal compliance in AI usage. Privacy of drawings and company financial data, preventing information leaks and intellectual property. - **[Lesson 09 · Cloud Scalability](https://aibuilderacademy.netlify.app/learn/09-cloud-scalability.md)** — How to take a local office prototype to a robust application used by hundreds of field engineers simultaneously. Secure deployment and API cost monitoring. - **[Lesson 10 · Demo Day: the Agentic Ecosystem](https://aibuilderacademy.netlify.app/learn/10-demo-day.md)** — Closing and graduation session. Students present their agentic ecosystems and practical builds applied to their own companies and the industry. - **[Lesson 11 · openBIM for agents: IFC, IDS, BCF and the level of information need](https://aibuilderacademy.netlify.app/learn/11-openbim-ifc-ids-bcf.md)** — How an agent reads, checks and compares IFC models with IfcOpenShell, how requirements become machine-checkable with IDS, and how issues travel with BCF - without any vendor software. - **[Lesson 12 · Connecting the construction stack: Revit, Forma, Procore, Bluebeam, Archicad and more](https://aibuilderacademy.netlify.app/learn/12-connect-the-construction-stack.md)** — Which construction tools have an official MCP server or API in late 2026, what each needs, where data goes, and the read-only-first protocol for connecting them to an AI. - **[Lesson 13 · Lean construction with agents: Last Planner, takt, TVD, CBA, A3 and waste](https://aibuilderacademy.netlify.app/learn/13-lean-construction-with-agents.md)** — The lean methods promoted by the Lean Construction Institute, and the exact places where an agent helps (preparing, digitising, measuring) and where it must stay out (commitments and decisions belong to people). - **[Lesson 14 · Virtual Design and Construction: the Stanford CIFE framework with agents](https://aibuilderacademy.netlify.app/learn/14-vdc-cife-framework.md)** — VDC as taught at Stanford's CIFE: client objectives, project objectives, production metrics and controllable factors, worked through ICE, BIM and project production management - and how agents keep the metrics alive every week. - **[Lesson 15 · Commercial control with agents: bids, change orders, earned value and carbon](https://aibuilderacademy.netlify.app/learn/15-commercial-control-with-agents.md)** — Where money and evidence meet: leveling bids, pricing change orders with the user's own rates, reading earned value honestly and screening embodied carbon - with scripts that never invent a number. - **[Lesson 16 · Information management with agents: ISO 19650, BEP, CDE and naming](https://aibuilderacademy.netlify.app/learn/16-information-management-iso19650.md)** — How an agent helps run ISO 19650-style information management: from the client's requirements to the BEP, LOIN tables, delivery plans, CDE states, naming checks and registers that stay clean every week. - **[Playbook · BIM coordinator / BIM manager](https://aibuilderacademy.netlify.app/learn/playbook-bim-coordinator.md)** — Check every exchange the same way, turn requirements into IDS, run clashes without waiting for a license, and keep naming and the BEP alive. - **[Playbook · Site engineer (residente de obra)](https://aibuilderacademy.netlify.app/learn/playbook-site-engineer.md)** — Daily reports from voice notes, a constraint log that runs itself, punch lists from walk notes, and safety analyses for the task of the day. - **[Playbook · Project manager (director de obra)](https://aibuilderacademy.netlify.app/learn/playbook-project-manager.md)** — An honest monthly report (earned value with SPI(t)), change orders prepared on time, overdue RFIs and issues surfaced before they bite, and decisions recorded. - **[Playbook · Estimator / buyer](https://aibuilderacademy.netlify.app/learn/playbook-estimator-buyer.md)** — Quantities you can trace to the model, unit prices built from your own data, bids leveled line by line and embodied carbon screened from the same quantities. - **[Playbook · Lean / production coordinator](https://aibuilderacademy.netlify.app/learn/playbook-lean-coordinator.md)** — Less transcription, better metrics and faster learning: walls digitised, PPC/TA/TMR every week, takt scenarios in minutes, A3s and CBA records kept. - **[Playbook · Architect / designer](https://aibuilderacademy.netlify.app/learn/playbook-architect-designer.md)** — Feasibility you can trace to the zoning rule, documentation checked before issue, models that pass the client's IDS, and review comments organised instead of lost. - **[Playbook · Owner / developer (VDC lead)](https://aibuilderacademy.netlify.app/learn/playbook-owner-developer.md)** — Objectives the team can measure every week (CIFE VDC), target value design against the business case, a maturity baseline, and an asset register at handover. --- AI Builder Academy · https://aibuilderacademy.netlify.app · checked 2026-10-23 · Made by Lo que habitas (Julián Páez).
