  1. Module 01

    Modern Artificial Intelligence for Contractors and Builders

    What the systems sold to contractors as "AI" actually are, and why the difference changes how you check them. This module separates rules, machine learning, computer vision and generative AI, explains how a language model builds an answer, opens up the retrieval, tools and agents inside construction products, and sets out what the published evidence does and does not show.

  2. Module 02

    What AI Can and Cannot Reliably Do With Drawings, Specifications and Numbers

    Fluent is not the same as right. This module works through the four ways a confident answer goes wrong on a project — an invented specification section, a code answer for an edition nobody adopted, a quantity that does not tie to the takeoff, and a clause read out of a contract nobody executed — and builds the habit of doubt that catches all four.

  3. Module 03

    Project Data, Customer Privacy and What May Be Pasted Into a Tool

    Owner drawings, subcontractor pricing, employee records, homeowner payment details, fingerprint time clocks and recorded site walks all sit on the same laptop, and they do not carry the same rules. This module classifies what a contractor holds, shows where a tool puts it, and builds a decision method for whether a given item may go into a given system.

  4. Module 04

    The Licence, the Seal and the Duties That Do Not Move

    A tool can draft, extract and compare. It cannot hold a licence, seal a drawing, supervise construction operations or sign. This module maps who is accountable for each construction output, shows five genuinely different state licensing models so you never mistake one state's rule for the national rule, and draws the line a contractor may not cross into design.

  5. Module 05

    AI-Assisted Code, Contract and Specification Research

    An assistant is not an authority. This module builds a research workflow that runs from a well-framed question to a verified answer, and shows why a model code binds nothing until a jurisdiction adopts it, why a standard contract form binds only the parties who sign it, and how to record where an answer came from and who checked it.

  6. Module 06

    Prompt Engineering for Construction Professionals

    A construction prompt that can be checked has ten parts, and the most important of them is the source material you supply instead of asking the tool to remember it. This module builds the structure, shows how to decide what may be pasted, and works through prompt patterns for scope, quotes, requests for information, daily reports, toolbox talks and owner emails.

Independent professional education

MA-GCC is an independent professional education program. It is not a government-issued contractor license and does not replace state or local licensing, legal, architectural, engineering, accounting, safety, insurance, or code-compliance review. AI outputs require review by qualified personnel under applicable requirements, approved plans, manufacturer instructions, and company procedures. The program is not endorsed by OSHA, any licensing board, trade association, professional organization, or government agency. No jurisdictional education hours or approvals are claimed, and no project outcome, code approval, profitability, or regulatory compliance is guaranteed.
