What is AI for Construction
An introduction to artificial intelligence applications in the construction industry.
Definition
AI for construction refers to artificial intelligence technologies applied to architecture, engineering, and construction workflows. AI can read and understand construction documents, automate repetitive tasks, identify issues, and provide insights from project data. AI is transforming how construction projects are designed, documented, and delivered.
In Depth
AI for construction applies artificial intelligence to the specific challenges of building design, construction, and operations. Unlike general-purpose AI, construction AI understands the industry's documents (drawings, specifications, submittals), workflows (design review, code compliance, project administration), and language (CSI divisions, construction abbreviations, code references). This domain specificity is what makes AI useful for construction professionals rather than just interesting as a technology concept.
