Construction in 2025: The AI Revolution is here
By Red Marble AI
September 2021
The AI revolution is here and the race is on to become the dominant force of construction in the future.
Today while the construction industry is awash with funding and fuelled by government spending, ultra-tight margins, difficulties retaining staff and cost overruns make it increasingly hard to be profitable.
Our whitepaper looks to the future, not the big blue sky wholesale change 50 years from now, but moreso how the first steps to solve these problems and revolutionise the industry are already underway.
In fact, many of the fundamental tools that will begin this wholesale change are here. In other sectors, data and AI have changed how industries operate and established a blueprint for industry takeover.
It is now up to the industry to take up the baton and run with it.
In our interviews with industry leaders, we are seeing pockets of excellence are already emerging. AI is being used effectively to drive improvements in several business areas. Data-centric technologies such as drones, Building Information Management (BIM), Internet of Things (IoT), and digital twins are supporting that.
Our Construction in 2025 whitepaper provides insights and the beginnings of a blueprint for change. Our 7 Steps to introducing AI are a guide to how construction industry leaders can get started.
We outline:
- Turbulent times: Construction’s big AI opportunity
- Getting race ready: Transformation lessons from industry titans
- Pockets of success: the sparks of an AI revolution
- A Blueprint for the industry: AI predictions for 2025
- 7 Steps to Introducing an AI experiment
One thing is clear: the prize for the firms who get this right is huge. Increased margin and profits, improved staff retention and emergence as a dominant player. And that’s just the beginning of what’s possible.
The race is on! Enjoy our analysis, and let us know if you’ve implemented any of these technologies in the past 12 months.
