4 simple ways to build a smart construction management system
Even though the basics of construction haven’t changed much in the last centuries, the construction industry is often criticised for being slow to change. This is partly because there are many different people to keep track of. Still, as technology gets easier to use and cheaper to scale, it’s up to the construction industry to adopt more collaborative ways of working and new methods, like Building Information Modelling (BIM). Now is the time to build a smart construction management system with the help of AI.
An AI solution for construction will create $ 2,642.4 million in income by 2026, with a compound annual growth rate of 26.3 percent from 2019 to 2026, according to research cited by Forbes. AI, Machine Learning (ML), and the Internet-of-Things (IoT) can open up new avenues for development in the construction and engineering (C&E) industries.
Managing construction smartly doesn’t only mean construction progress tracking. The right construction management system covers multiple areas that ensure safety at the workplace, increase productivity, help to cut extra costs, and eliminate repetitive tasks.
Here is how you can build a smart construction management system with the help of AI with these 4 simple steps-
- AI Monitoring for Construction
Put a stop to your construction site’s reliance on only its security staff and get comprehensive and round-the-clock insights on the real-time happenings of the job site using AI. Keep a tab of your job site with a cloud-based remote monitoring system that can receive data from IoT devices and cameras. Even while people on the ground are still necessary, the data streams provided by real-time, automated monitoring are priceless.
- Video Analytics for Workplace Safety
Worker safety should be a priority for every Construction Project Management. But doing it manually is a pain in the neck. AI can, however, offer video analytics for workplace safety. It can monitor, analyse and communicate instances of workers not wearing (proper) PPE, or accessing risk zones like holes or fences rapidly and efficiently.
- Construction Photo Documentation
Replace checklists, routines, and other manual auditing security with real-time monitoring that can provide trending and image analysis in seconds if needed. AI helps you to save time, which has an impact on costs. You can also avoid physical and cyber threats with real-time job site monitoring.
- AI-Powered Project Controls
Construction Progress tracking is another vital aspect of a smart construction management system. It is crucial for efficient construction project management and property management. You can track and control the project’s progress without spending extra time without human interaction. With the aid of AI and other advanced technologies, you can properly calculate the percentage of a project’s or task’s completion, the number of installations, the pace of work, and the expected completion date. It helps you allow the opportunity to develop the safety system, and your personnel keep attentive and productive thus enabling better project control.
