Alex Lira, BEng, MBA, PMP

Civil Engineer and Innovation Leader with 20+ years of global experience in the construction industry. Specialized in driving digital transformation in AEC (Architecture, Engineering, Construction) across four continents. I apply AI, drone-based reality capture, and 3D scanning to optimize construction workflows, reduce risk, and increase profitability—from planning to operations. As founder of Construlab and ConstruVIEW.ai, I lead advanced digital construction services including LiDAR scanning, 360° photogrammetry, digital twins, and AI-powered analytics for construction sites, infrastructure, and real estate. Since 2022, I’ve helped companies in the U.S. and Latin America implement AI and reality capture tools throughout the project lifecycle—enabling strategic adoption, hands-on execution, and upskilling of engineers, architects, and contractors. My mission is to bridge construction and technology by deploying scalable AI and digital solutions—from roadmap to deployment—unlocking productivity, efficiency, and competitive advantage. With a strong background in civil engineering, global project management (PMP, PRINCE2, MSP), and digital strategy, I lead high-impact innovation programs with measurable results. 🌍 Global Reach Led $200M+ in construction and infrastructure programs across the Americas, Africa, Middle East, and Europe—including humanitarian missions with the United Nations. 🤖 Expertise • AI strategy & implementation • Drone operations, 3D scanning & photogrammetry • Digital transformation in AEC • AI training for engineering teams • BIM & digital twin integration (Revit, Naviworks) • Prokect Management (MS Project Specialist and trainer) 🧠 Thought Leadership • Founder – ConstruVIEW.ai: AI platform using drones, 360 cameras & live feeds for automated construction analytics • Author – AI Map for AEC: 100+ AI use cases across design, construction & operations • Creator – Advanced AI Program for AEC: Practical training in AI tools across project stages • Founder – Innova Build Conference: Global event (São Paulo & Miami) on AI, drones, robotics in AEC • Author – Innova Build: Newsletter on innovation & AI in the built world • Lecturer – Executive & graduate programs in AI for construction (North & South America) 🏗️ Certifications • Executive Master – AI & Digital Twin (ParisTech – ongoing) • FAA Drone Pilot | OSHA 510 / 500 • Microsoft Certified (ERP, MS Project) • PMP | PRINCE2 | MSP | Oxford Exec PM • Languages: English, Portuguese, Spanish
