AI in Construction Today

It's not all about what's coming in the future.

It’s vacation week and school’s out so I’ve got a few notes for you today. I’ll be back with something more in-depth next week.

While I’m fascinated by what the development of AI tech will mean for the future of AEC and other industries, there are plenty of applications of the technology already in use today. Here are a few that I know of, in no particular order.

T2D2

T2D2 is an AI-powered building inspection tool. From their website:

Unlike a human inspector, the T2D2 Damage Detector uses computer vision trained by hundreds of thousands of forensic images to recognize deterioration sooner and catalog exterior inspection data faster, more accurately and with deeper levels of insight.

Filio

Filio is a cloud-based photo asset management software. One of its features is AI-powered photo tagging:

Filio scans your images and learns from them to generate useful tags for searching and filtering.

Newmetrix

Newmetrix uses AI to help reduce safety incidents on job sites.

Uncover the hidden risk signals in your data and start predicting & preventing incidents using AI.

ALICE

ALICE is a construction scheduling tool that leverages AI to make jobs more efficient.

ALICE’s intelligent construction sequencing outperforms traditional techniques, such as for construction scheduling such as CPM, PERT etc, by leveraging the power of AI to solve complex constraints and to ensure your project makes the best use of available resources.

OpenSpace

OpenSpace provides AI-powered 360-degree construction site image capture.

Instead of taking photos manually, field teams using OpenSpace can simply strap 360° cameras to their hard hats and walk their sites as usual; it requires little to no additional effort and takes a fraction of the time of traditional tools.

What am I missing?

Do you know of AI-powered construction tools currently in use? I’d love to hear about them.
