Streamline Construction with AI: Reducing Time and Costs

Abstract

Construction has a perennial problem with delays, cost overruns, and resource mismanagement. The challenges stem from traditional manual scheduling and fragmented communications methods. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has arrived, and it provides predictive analytics, machine learning, and automation that will help to improve decision-making and optimize construction processes. In this paper, we delve into the use case of AI in the present state of construction management and highlight the pioneering application of AI-enabled approaches to construction cost estimation, scheduling, and resource allocation by Wilson Construction Corp. The company utilized AI technologies and effectively reduced overall costs by 18%, along with greater efficiency of projects. The research emphasizes the ability of AI to transform construction workflows and offers practical recommendations for adoption in the industry.
