How AI is Transforming the Construction Industry

As part of Dedale Intelligence’s AI Learning Series, Hugo Petit, Investment & Strategy Analyst, explores how Artificial Intelligence is beginning to reshape one of the world’s least digitised yet most complex sectors: construction.

Although adoption remains limited - with only 37% of construction companies using AI today - the industry is showing growing interest in solutions that address its most persistent challenges: project delays, on-site safety, and labour shortages.

In this session, Hugo breaks down one of the most promising use cases: AI-powered drawing interpretation, enabling automated extraction of bills of quantities, clash detection, and downstream workflows such as compliance checks and productivity assistance. He also analyses how large platforms like Procore, Autodesk, Oracle, Trimble and modern point solutions are positioning themselves, and which parts of the value chain are most likely to be disrupted.

For industry players navigating tight margins and low digitisation, Hugo highlights where AI creates tangible value, and where expectations may exceed reality.
