Artificial intelligence is no longer an abstract idea for design-build teams. It’s already changing how projects are delivered, managed and maintained. In this episode of the Design-Build Delivers Podcast, DBIA’s Director of Virtual Design and Construction Brian Skripac is joined by three leaders from ARKANCEJason Kunkel, Vice President of Digital Practice; Nick Miller, Director of Building Lifecycle Services; and Justin Friedman, Vice President of Digital Construction — to explore how data and AI are reshaping the Owner experience.

Together, they unpack how design-build teams are using data to:

  • Turn information into intelligence that drives better decisions.
  • Build a culture of trust and governance around data ownership.
  • Identify “quick wins” to make AI adoption practical and scalable.
  • Shift focus from building smarter to owning smarter.

It’s a conversation about the real-world impact of data — how it’s captured, shared and leveraged across every phase of a project’s lifecycle — and what it means for Owners navigating the next era of delivery.
