Grant Petkau
Co-Founder & Visionary Architect of AI Frameworks
Grant Petkau is a builder by trade and a systems thinker by instinct. With over 15 years as a licensed general contractor, residential designer, and owner of the award-winning Kelbrook Construction, he has earned recognition for excellence in British Columbia’s custom home sector—including multiple Georgie and Tommie Awards.
But Grant’s curiosity has always extended beyond physical structures. Frustrated by inefficiencies in permitting, compliance, and project workflows, he began exploring how intelligence systems—not just software—could fundamentally reshape how the built environment operates. That journey led to the creation of FutureBuild.AI, a platform aimed at bringing adaptive intelligence to the construction
industry.
Now, as Co-Founder and Visionary Architect of AI Frameworks at CTi, Grant is the systems mind behind the logic and architecture powering CTi’s next-generation decision infrastructure. He focuses on designing intelligent frameworks capable of evolving, learning, and navigating complex regulatory ecosystems with minimal human intervention.
His rare blend of field expertise and strategic foresight bridges the tangible world of construction with the emerging frontier of autonomous systems – laying the foundation for a new era where intelligence drives economic growth, compliance, and capital flow with precision and scale.
