Why Your Construction Handbook Needs an AI Policy

Free AI policy template for construction companies (from Kelly): https://www.eyeonautomations.com/blog/construction-ai-policy-template You paid for Copilot, locked it down, and sent a training link. So your team is pasting bids, contracts and P&Ls into free Claude instead, and nobody at the top knows it's happening. Kelly Stephens spent 14 years in construction operations at PulteGroup before starting EyeOn Automations, where she audits, trains and builds AI systems for construction and real estate companies. She explains why AI rollouts stall after the tool gets handed over, why she gets the whole team to one baseline before anyone builds an agent, and the one document every builder should write before anything else.
