Tunbridge Wells, Kent, United Kingdom - 02-03-2023 (PR Distribution™) -
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly changing the way we live and work, and the construction industry is no exception. With AI-powered tools and technologies entering the market, many experts predict significant changes in the way construction projects are planned, executed, and managed.
According to a survey conducted by CITB, only 3% of employers in the construction industry said they used AI before the COVID-19 pandemic. Less than 10% of the surveyed employers reported using automation or related technologies such as augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), or drones. However, these figures may not accurately reflect the usage of AI technology in the industry, as AI is often embedded in other programs such as data analytics or diagnostics tools.
One such expert is Ryan, a plasterer at Kent Plasterers in Kent. According to Ryan, "AI has the potential to revolutionise the construction industry. It can help us work more efficiently, accurately, and safely, which can save us time and money and ultimately improve the quality of our work."
Richard Bee, director of Garden Office Buildings, a company that specialises in garden offices and rooms in Kent and the surrounding areas, agrees with Ryan's assessment. Bee says, "AI has the potential to change the way we design, build, and maintain buildings. For example, AI-powered design tools can help us to create more energy-efficient buildings that are better suited to their environment. AI-powered construction robots can help us to build these structures more efficiently, and AI-powered maintenance systems can help us to keep them in good condition for longer."
One of the key areas where AI is expected to make an impact is in the pre-construction phase. AI algorithms can help construction companies to plan projects more effectively by analysing data and identifying potential issues that may arise during the construction process. This can help construction companies to mitigate risks, save time, and reduce costs.
In the construction phase, AI-powered robots and drones can help to automate manual and repetitive tasks, such as bricklaying, plastering, and painting. This can increase efficiency and reduce the need for manual labour, freeing up workers to focus on more complex and skilled tasks.
In the post-construction phase, AI-powered sensors and monitoring systems can help to monitor the health and safety of a building, detect potential issues, and trigger maintenance and repair work as needed. This can help to extend the lifespan of buildings and reduce the need for expensive renovations.
Overall, the impact of AI on the construction industry is expected to be significant, even though current adoption rates are low. As Ryan notes, "AI has the potential to transform our industry, and I am excited to see what the future holds. The key is to embrace this change and be open to new technologies and ways of working." Bee adds, "The construction industry has always been slow to adopt new technologies, but AI has the potential to change that. By embracing AI, we can build a better and more sustainable future for our industry and for our planet."
In conclusion, AI is set to change the construction industry in many ways, from pre-construction planning to post-construction maintenance. With the help of AI, construction companies can work more efficiently, accurately, and safely, which can ultimately lead to improved quality and reduced costs.
