The conversation around AI in construction is loud, but the ground-level reality in Canada tells a completely different story. SiteNews and Procore surveyed Canadian construction leaders across the country to discover how the industry is actually utilizing technology today. The data reveals that while building leaders recognize AI’s long-term impact, massive structural bottlenecks—like fragmented data foundations and internal expertise gaps—are holding back higher-value applications.

70% of digital transformations fail—not because of technology, but because leaders aren’t aligned and change feels like something being done to people instead of built with them.

In today’s tight labor market, that breakdown shows up fast: stalled adoption, lost productivity, and higher turnover when you can least afford it.

This playbook helps you prepare your organization for change before the rollout by deliberately building culture readiness. When leadership is aligned and teams feel supported, new ways of working stick, tools are adopted faster, and transformation becomes a competitive advantage instead of a disruption.
