AI & Construction Innovation

How Artificial Intelligence benefits the construction industry

Artificial intelligence is gradually transforming all sectors, and construction is no exception to this digital revolution. From design to execution, including tender processes, AI brings significant improvements across many areas.

Project planning and design directly benefit from these technological advances. AI quickly analyzes thousands of parameters to optimize plans, suggest more efficient alternatives, and anticipate potential construction issues. By integrating with BIM (Building Information Modeling) tools, it enables more precise modeling and better coordination between different trades.

AI is also revolutionizing site visits and work assessment. Equipped with smartphones or tablets, site managers can now capture photos and videos of the construction site that AI analyzes in real-time. It automatically identifies structural elements, measures surfaces and volumes, and generates accurate estimates of the work to be done. This technology not only saves precious time during technical visits but also provides more precise measurements and complete visual documentation of the site.

In the field of tender management, AI revolutionizes the analysis of consultation documents. It processes in minutes documents that previously required days of study, automatically extracting critical information and identifying inconsistencies. This automation allows teams to focus on strategic aspects of responses.

On the construction site, AI significantly improves safety. Through real-time image analysis, it detects the wearing of protective equipment and risk situations. It also optimizes resource management by predicting material and labor needs, thus reducing delays and costs.

Predictive maintenance represents another major application area. By analyzing data from sensors installed in buildings, AI anticipates maintenance needs and prevents breakdowns before they occur. This proactive approach reduces operating costs and extends the lifespan of installations.

Finally, AI contributes to the sector's sustainability. By optimizing material use and reducing construction waste, it helps companies achieve their environmental objectives. It also enables the simulation of buildings' energy performance and suggests more ecological solutions.
