The AI Capability Programme What comes after training
A quarterly programme for construction, engineering and architecture firms that keeps your team building agents, keeps them current as the tools change, and keeps leadership sighted on what is running across the business.
For firms that have already trained or built, and want it embedded.
Managing directors & partners
You approved the investment. Now you need to see it.
Attendance reports only tell you who turned up. This gives you a written quarterly view of what AI is actually running in the business, and who owns each piece.
Bid, pursuit & delivery leads
Your team came back brimming with ideas.
Plenty got stuck in. This puts an AI engineer alongside them on real work, such as tenders, pre-qualification questionnaires, cost plans and fee proposals, to finish the agents they started and keep the momentum going.
BIM, digital & technical leads
People have built agents, and nobody owns them.
This reviews what exists against governance standards, so you can scale it with something to show the board.
“We've been really impressed with the AI Institute's training programmes. Their hands-on approach and expert mentoring have given our staff the practical skills and knowledge they need to succeed with AI.”
The challenge after a rollout of training is keeping the momentum: people who started building agents stall, your keenest users outgrow what a single course covers, and nobody has a full view of what's been built or how safely. Our Capability Programme exists to keep that energy going.
EU AI Act · Article 4It also evidences your AI literacy duty.
The duty requires organisations that provide or deploy AI to take measures that support their staff's AI literacy, and national authorities have been able to enforce it since 2 August 2026. It is an obligation of effort with no fixed level to reach, so what counts is evidence of a continuing, documented programme. Three dated sessions a quarter and a written review of what is running give you that record.
How it runs
Three sessions a quarter. Then it starts again.
It runs as a quarterly cycle, starting straight after training, on your calendar, for as long as you want it.
1MONTH ONE
An AI engineer on your agent builds
One of our AI engineers sits with your team and works on the agents they are building for real work, such as bid responses, client onboarding and project reporting, unblocking whatever is stopping each one from being finished.
2MONTH TWO
A tools update
A short session on what has changed in the AI tools your firm uses, covering only the parts that touch your team's work, with troubleshooting folded in where it helps.
3MONTH THREE
A governance review
A written review of the agents and workflows running in your team: what exists, who owns each one, and where a chartered professional signs off before anything reaches a client or a tender submission. Dated each quarter, building toward full governance ahead of 2027.
Half-built agents for tenders, fee proposals and project reporting get finished and put to work.
Reusable components give each new agent a head start from a proven template.
Continuous education
Your team stays current on the features that matter in the tools they use, without the overwhelm of tracking every release.
Skills spread across the whole team, so they no longer sit with one or two power users.
Compliance and reporting
A dated, written record of what's running, ready for board reporting and as evidence of your AI literacy measures.
Bonus
Every team works to the same standard, wherever it sits in the business.
Why quarterly
Anything learned decays.
Without reinforcement or a reason to apply it, retention falls away quickly, and the fall starts within a day. A single training event meets that curve once. A quarterly rhythm meets it four times a year.
The tools keep moving as well. A quarterly check keeps the prompts, Skills and agents your team built in week one matched to what's available now.
Retained capability with a quarterly touchpoint (crimson) versus a single training event left alone (grey).
A 30-minute call to see where your team stands on agent builds, skills and compliance.
2
Agree the measures
Before anything starts, we agree the measures the first cycle will be reviewed against.
3
Run the first cycle
Three sessions over the quarter, then a review against those measures.
Commitment
Quarterly, payable in advance, with a review at the end of the first cycle against measures agreed before it starts. Continue, pause or extend on the evidence.
FAQ
Questions firms ask us.
How long do we commit for?
One quarter at a time, paid in advance. At the end of the first cycle we review progress against measures agreed before it started, and you decide whether to continue, pause or extend.
When does it start?
Straight after training, while the momentum is still there.
Which tools does it cover?
The ones your firm has approved, whether that's Microsoft 365 Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini. Each tools update covers what has changed in them since the last session and what it means for your people's day-to-day work, so nobody has to track every release on their own.
Who is accountable for AI-assisted work?
Your people. The quarterly governance review records who owns each agent and where a chartered professional signs off before anything reaches a client or a tender submission.
Does it help with AI rules in Ireland and the UK?
Ireland: the EU AI Act applies directly. Article 4 asks organisations that use AI to take measures that support their staff's AI literacy, and national authorities have been able to enforce it since August 2026, coordinated by the new AI Office of Ireland.
UK: there is no UK AI Act, but the EU Act still covers UK firms whose AI output is used in the EU, for example on projects in Ireland. Surveyors in both countries also work under the RICS standard on responsible AI use, mandatory since March 2026, which calls for a basic understanding of AI, at least annual staff training and an AI risk register reviewed at least quarterly.
Dated sessions and a written quarterly review give you a documented record to show for each of these.
