The BuiltSmart Hub podcast ‘AI in Construction: More Efficient Planning, Construction and Building Management’ discusses the comprehensive potential of artificial intelligence (AI) in all phases of the building life cycle – from planning and execution to operation. Specific application examples are cited, including improved planning quality, increased efficiency in construction, optimised resource management, risk minimisation, precise quality assurance and life cycle-oriented building management. Furthermore, the text highlights key challenges in the introduction of AI, such as poor data quality and availability, high investment costs, lack of expertise and cultural reservations, and proposes strategies for successful integration that emphasise a clear strategic roadmap and interdisciplinary collaboration.
