Hello all, we are here to learn how to grow our construction business. We are in need to learn the ropes. Our business seriously needs a program for every area of operation to grow. Thanks and see you soon.
Theresa here is the list from Gemini. That's a great question. Artificial Intelligence is rapidly changing the construction industry, offering tools for nearly every part of the business. Here is a categorized list of popular AI tools and applications being used in construction: 🏗️ Project Planning & Scheduling | Tool/App | Primary AI Function | Benefit | |---|---|---| | ALICE Technologies | Generative Scheduling & Optimization | Creates, tests, and optimizes thousands of project schedules to find the fastest/cheapest path. | | Autodesk Spacemaker | Generative Design | Uses AI to quickly generate and evaluate design options based on constraints (e.g., sunlight, budget, space). | | nPlan | Predictive Analytics | Analyzes project data to predict potential delays and outcomes, improving schedule certainty. | 💰 Cost Estimation & Takeoffs | Tool/App | Primary AI Function | Benefit | |---|---|---| | Togal.AI | Automated Takeoffs | Automatically reads architectural plans and drawings to generate measurements and takeoffs in seconds. | | Downtobid | Bid Management & Analysis | Analyzes construction plans and identifies requirements to streamline and optimize the bidding process. | | PlanSwift | Intelligent Takeoff | Uses AI-driven features to speed up the measurement and estimation process from digital blueprints. | 🚧 Site Monitoring & Progress Tracking | Tool/App | Primary AI Function | Benefit | |---|---|---| | OpenSpace | Reality Capture & Analytics | Uses AI to map 360° camera footage to floor plans, creating a visual, searchable record of site progress. | | Buildots | Site Progress Comparison | Compares 360° site imagery against BIM models to automatically flag delays and track progress. | | DroneDeploy | AI Drone Mapping | Uses drones and AI to transform site images into accurate maps, 3D models, and progress reports. | | Doxel | Progress Tracking & Analytics | Autonomous systems use AI to track progress and compare it against the project schedule and budget. |
