The construction industry is constantly evolving as we strive to deliver successful projects that benefit our customers and fulfill the ambitions of all our industry professionals. Advancements in construction come in various forms, ranging from improvements in tools, materials and equipment to innovations in building techniques and technologies. Keeping pace with these developments can be challenging, but it is essential for personal growth, business enhancement and, ultimately, better project delivery.
To fully leverage these opportunities for improvement, we must remain engaged and surround ourselves with people and experiences that encourage learning and growth. By doing so, we can pass this knowledge forward, benefiting the industry as a whole.
This year’s tech report provides an invaluable opportunity to explore how artificial intelligence is set to make a significant impact on construction. As our understanding of AI deepens and its applications become clearer, it will be crucial to learn the pros and cons, identify best practices and be aware of the risks involved to ensure AI becomes a tool that works for everyone.
In this tech report, we hear from experts with hands-on experience in AI for planning, development and execution within the construction sector. The ABC Tech and Innovation Committee hopes that this report enriches your understanding of AI technology, benefiting you, your company and those you serve. Thank you for reading the ABC AI Tech Report.
