AI for AEC Professionals

AEC professionals — architects, engineers, and contractors — each have different AI needs based on their role in the project delivery process. The common thread is that all of them spend too much time on information retrieval and document processing, and AI directly addresses this universal pain point.

For architects, AI reduces the time spent on code compliance checking and quality control of construction documents. An architect who spends 20% of their time on code research and QC checking can redirect most of that time to design work with AI handling the systematic checking. The architect still makes the design decisions — AI handles the verification that those decisions meet code requirements.

For engineers, AI accelerates the research and analysis that supports engineering decisions. A structural engineer answering an RFI about a connection detail can use AI to instantly find the relevant specification section, shop drawing, and design calculation rather than manually searching through the project files. The engineering judgment remains human; the information retrieval becomes instant.

For contractors, AI streamlines the document-intensive workflows that drive daily operations — submittal review, RFI management, change order documentation, and project closeout. Each of these workflows involves comparing documents, extracting information, and producing written responses — tasks that AI handles efficiently while the project team focuses on coordination and construction management.
