[May 15th (Fri) 1:00 PM] 6 Top Runners Share the Forefront of 'AI Utilization for Home Builders.' LIFEFUND CEO Takuma Shirato to Speak at Shinken Housing Online Seminar

The Shinken Housing special YouTube program 'Industry Top Runners Speak: The Forefront of AI Utilization for Home Builders' starts on May 15th (Fri) at 1:00 PM. LIFEFUND Co., Ltd. (Hamamatsu City, Shizuoka Prefecture; CEO: Takuma Shirato) is pleased to announce that CEO Takuma Shirato will speak at the online seminar '【Shinken Housing YouTube Program】Home Builder AI/Verification Special: Industry Top Runners Speak. The Forefront of AI Utilization for Home Builders' organized by Shinken Housing on Friday, May 15, 2026, at 1:00 PM. In this program, six industry top runners will gather to share the forefront of AI utilization in each area of home building business, including case studies and demonstrations. ◼︎ Home Builder Management is in an Unprecedented Difficult Situation Labor shortages, rising material costs, and intensifying competition—as structural headwinds in the housing industry occur simultaneously, AI utilization is becoming an essential option for home builder management. On the other hand, the forefront of this field is still a 'black box.' We have entered a stage where it's first-come, first-served, and a matter of 'eat or be eaten.' This program is a project to disclose that closed forefront to the industry. Top runners will reveal their own case studies and demonstrations in five areas of home building: marketing, sales, design, human resources development, and site management. It will also provide guidance for managers who are struggling with tool selection, such as ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude. ■ Why is Takuma Shirato of LIFEFUND Speaking? LIFEFUND is a local builder in Shizuoka/Hamamatsu that has grown into a regional top builder handling 100 houses per year in just 10 years since its founding in 2015. While developing architect-designed houses 'ARRCH' and high-performance houses 'PGHOUSE,' they have introduced AI into all areas including design, construction, sales, recruitment, and marketing, transforming the inefficiencies of the analog housing industry from its structure. Based on the vision of 'creating a local society where everyone can realize a joyful life,' the business is expanding beyond 'home building' to 'people building and town building.' In this program, they will share their perspective of positioning AI not just as a tool for operational efficiency, but as a power to expand human potential. ■ Program of the Day - Opening: Explanation of the program's purpose, introduction of performers - Theme 1: Customer Attraction and Promotion - Theme 2: Sales - Theme 3: Design - Theme 4: Human Resources Development - Theme 5: Site Management - Ending: What is the key to AI introduction? / BAA Introduction (SHO-SAN) ■ Event Overview - Program Name: 【Shinken Housing YouTube Program】Home Builder AI/Verification Special: Industry Top Runners Speak.
