Artificial general intelligence isn't here yet, but it soon will be. Understanding AI and how it can help you in design or construction use cases can prepare you for it.

Using geographic information systems to add quantities of materials and placement of coordinates can help contractors achieve they and their clients' sustainability goals.

The market's demand for data centers and other mission critical infrastructure will only increase and the need to collaborate and coordinate these projects in environments such as augmented reality will only grow with those demands.

Artificial Intelligence can analyze patterns in construction performance and identify efficiencies for large capital projects. Contractors should be open to the insight it can provide. 

To unlock the full potential of building information modeling, get your data and your interoperability standards right.

Generative AI is here and it's impacting white-collar jobs (architects, engineers, project managers, etc.). Its infrastructure is already in place, so adoption is happening faster than expected. As a result, predictions about how it will impact the workforce might not necessarily be accurate.

The Cross River Rail project in Brisbane, Australia, required 3D models, a GIS database and even a gaming engine.

Cloud-based project management technology can prepare contractors to track and manage major infrastructure sustainability requirements and incentives.

As the worker shortage continues with no end in sight, outdated processes could leave contractors with more liability, but construction technology offers more-reliable electronic trails.

Not only is Aramco planning to use satellites to supercharge 4IR operations, it is also investing in the technology itself.
