A Case Study in Harnessing AI in Construction
In Firmus' latest case study, Nibbi Brothers General Contractors shares lessons learned from decades of experience and their unique approach to reviewing design drawings for buildability, cost, and risk mitigation.??
Nibbi’s QA/QC team is accustomed to spending a lot of time on?deep dives into their projects to ensure success. Adding Firmus to their set of tools provides a high level of consistency and takes?a significant load off the team related to those more tedious?tasks.
Initially, when AI was emerging in the construction space, no one understood exactly how it worked and many felt it might threaten their job security. “I was actually excited about the possibility that it could save me some time on mundane tasks,” said Anita Hsieh , AIA QA Project Manager at Nibbi. “Once we saw Firmus’ analysis firsthand, my reaction was, okay, these are things that I would probably not even get to just because I don’t have the time to sift through drawings and look at all the little things that might be missing. But now that I have a tool that shows me pages are missing, tags are missing, discrepancies are present, I’m like, wow, this is important information.”
When the QA/QC team hands things off to the operations side of the house, “I think they appreciate that it?does take some load off them as well. They don’t have to find these minuscule problems six months into construction, which then results in wasted time, resources, or budget. At the end of the day, I can sleep better knowing I did as thorough a job as I could with the tools I had,” said Hsieh.
