What’s new?
We're excited to deepen our collaboration with Construction AI to develop an eBook series on AI-powered stakeholder management.
This series will explore how AI can help companies manage contractors, vendors, and internal teams by identifying decision-makers, mapping influence networks, and optimizing relationship strategies.
Innovators in AEC: Real-Life Examples
Concrete Foundations: Main Contractor and XYZ Reality
Challenge: In structural concrete work, even small errors outside construction tolerances often require costly and time-consuming remedial actions such as breaking, cutting, or drilling concrete, reordering materials, and recasting—delaying projects significantly.
Solution: To prevent these costly mistakes, the main contractor partnered with XYZ Reality , integrating their AR tool, The Atom, into the project’s Inspection, Testing, and Planning process.
Key measures included:
Impact: With The Atom deployed, any errors were detected early, preventing defects before the concrete pour. As a result, all foundations met tolerance requirements and were defect-free. In one instance, a 500mm out-of-tolerance error, where The Atom wasn't used, was detected in real-time before further costly steps could be taken, showcasing the tool’s ability to avoid rework and maintain precision.

Dominate the AEC Industry with These 3 Tools
Easily capture progress on the jobsite.
The solutions’ Site Documentation feature allows you to capture standard pictures, 360 photos, and videos that are mapped to your floor plan. ?Once the files are captured, StructionSite (acquired by DroneDeploy) makes it easy to find photos easily with AI-powered capabilities.
Identify and prioritize construction project risk.
Harness the power of Construction IQ’s built-in machine learning and AI functionality to predict, prevent and manage risks to cost, schedule, quality, and safety.
Automate welding of high-mix products.
ABAGY Robotic Systems is AI and machine-vision-based software for industrial robots. Our solution can increase your throughput, improve quality and consistency, and can be applied to almost any robotic and welding equipment - new or retrofitted.
