    How AI Saves Time and Drives Revenue in AEC Firms | Frank Lazaro from Terracon

    In this episode of AI Advantage, Baker Nanduru sits down with Frank Lazaro to break down how AI is driving real ROI in the AEC industry. Frank shares a practical framework for thinking about AI in business: small time savings across a team can quickly scale into thousands of hours recovered each year and millions in potential revenue. The conversation goes beyond tools and into execution. They unpack why many AI initiatives fail, how to identify the right problems before selecting solutions, and what it takes to successfully implement AI across engineering and consulting firms. This episode also highlights the shift happening across AEC, where firms are starting to connect productivity gains directly to revenue growth and operational efficiency. AI isn’t about adding more tools. It’s about using time more intentionally, improving how work gets done, and turning everyday processes into measurable business impact.

    AI First ERP: How Unanet is Reshaping AEC | Lucas Hayden from Unanet

    In this episode of AI Advantage, Baker Nanduru sits down with Lucas Hayden, VP of Product Marketing at Unanet, to explore how AI is transforming project-based businesses across architecture, engineering, and construction. The conversation explores how structured data, AI-powered proposal workflows, project intelligence, and operational insights are helping firms improve efficiency, make better decisions, and manage projects more effectively across the entire project lifecycle. Lucas also shares why many AEC firms are using AI to enhance employee effectiveness and client experience rather than replace people, and why relationships and human judgment still remain central to professional services. AI becomes far more valuable when it’s built around the realities of how project-based businesses actually operate.
