Construction Administration AI
AI applications for construction administration by architects and engineers.
Definition
Construction Administration AI supports architects and engineers during the CA phase. These systems help with submittal review, RFI response, site observation documentation, and change order analysis. AI enables design professionals to provide better oversight while managing heavy workloads during construction.
In Depth
Construction administration (CA) is the design team's involvement during construction — reviewing submittals, responding to RFIs, conducting site observations, and processing change orders. AI accelerates every CA workflow by automating the document research, comparison, and response drafting that consume most of the CA effort.
Submittal review, RFI response, and site observation reporting are the three highest-volume CA activities, and AI addresses each one. Submittals are pre-analyzed against specifications before the designer reviews them. RFIs are researched with instant search across the entire document set. Site observations are documented with photographs linked to the specific drawing locations and specification requirements.
