Challenges of AI in Construction
Common challenges and considerations when implementing AI in construction.
Definition
Implementing AI in construction presents challenges including data quality and availability, integration with existing systems, change management, and ensuring accuracy for professional use. Understanding these challenges helps organizations plan for successful AI adoption.
In Depth
AI adoption in construction faces real challenges: data quality (inconsistent document formats and naming), integration complexity (connecting to multiple project management platforms), trust (professionals need to verify AI outputs), and change management (getting busy teams to adopt new workflows).
The data quality challenge is the most fundamental. Construction documents are inconsistent — every firm has different drawing conventions, specification formats, and file naming practices. AI platforms that work in construction must handle this variability rather than requiring standardized input data, which is a harder technical problem than working with clean, structured data.
