Brian Braitman Introduction
Hi everyone, I’m Brian Braitman from Windsor, Ontario. I’ve spent 30+ years in construction as an owner, an executive, and most recently Director of Procurement at a general contractor. These days I help contractors with material and trade buyouts: bid packages, supplier quotes, and price tracking. I’m new to the AI side of things and here to learn how contractors are actually using it. If there’s a buying or pricing question where my experience helps, I’m glad to share. One question for the group: how are you handling material buying and trade buyouts today, and has AI helped with any of it?

Thanks David, appreciate the welcome! I haven’t started yet, which is why I joined. After 30+ years in construction procurement, I can see where AI could take a lot of the grind out of buyouts (bid leveling, quote comparison, price tracking), but I want to learn from people who are actually doing it. Where would you suggest someone with a procurement background start? And if there’s a member or client wrestling with buyouts or supplier pricing, I’m happy to share what’s worked for me. Thank you very much.

Brian Braitman Introduction: 🧰 Role: Construction procurement. Material and trade buyouts, bid packages, supplier quotes, price tracking. ⚡ Goal: I’ve built a procurement process I’m proud of, and I’m looking for cutting-edge tech and AI tools that complement it. Anything that speeds up bid leveling, quote comparison, or price tracking is on my radar. When I find something that works, I’ll share it here. 😎 About me: Born and raised in Windsor, and a die-hard Detroit Lions fan. Yes, I’m one of those Canadians who cheers for the Lions. If any other Lions fans are in here, say hi! 🦁
