Bracing for Change: The Coming AI Revolution in Construction

Imagine a world where data is seamlessly collected from years-old drawings and project reports to reveal best practices, alternative designs are quickly visualised in 3D renderings and virtual building replicas can predict future maintenance needs to improve energy efficiency.
Consider the time saved when the most mundane tasks – ensuring alignment in floor plans or fine-tuning the text in title blocks or RFPs – are automated to reduce errors and quicken decision-making.
Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to revolutionise those activities and every other aspect of the architecture, engineering, construction and operations (AECO) industry, from the initial design to management and maintenance when it’s complete.
With these AI-powered efficiencies, AECO companies can tackle some of the industry’s biggest challenges, including rising interest rates, widening labour gaps and growing sustainability requirements.
But despite headlines blaring about the latest advancements, it’s still early days for AI’s deployment. Navigating this transformative technology can be challenging, requiring a shift in mindset, upskilling of the workforce, robust data management strategies – and caution.
This e-Book aims to cut through the noise about AI for the AECO industry. From understanding the potential applications of AI to implementing AI-driven solutions, this guide will help firms navigate the AI revolution and take advantage of the opportunities it presents.
'We’re at the beginning of the Renaissance. It’s one of those great, amazing times in our human evolution where you have this transformative technology. … These are tools that will enable us to operate better, exist better. And how we apply those, that’s where the real trick will come into play.'
