The construction industry faces a staggering reality: 87% of projects experience delays or cost overruns.

Construction disputes and delays aren’t just expensive—they’re predictable. The “design triple whammy” of incorrect, late, or incomplete design information affects nearly 45% of projects, while scope changes impact another 39%. These issues cascade through projects, turning manageable problems into million-dollar disasters.

AI as the Solution
AI is transforming how construction teams approach risk management by:

• Accelerating Issue Identification: What once took weeks of manual review can now be completed in hours, with AI scanning thousands of documents to identify missing information, discrepancies, scope gaps, and cross-discipline conflicts.

• Preventing Scope Creep: By eliminating project ambiguities early, AI helps establish clearer project deliverables and reduces the likelihood of costly changes during construction.

• Enhancing Decision Making: AI provides insights for informed decision-making, leading to better, more accurate bidding, and solid project execution.

• Improving Procurement Accuracy: Early identification of design conflicts prevents material shortages, reduces procurement costs, and eliminates the expense of rush orders.

The Technology Advantage

AI offers comprehensive analysis across architectural and MEP disciplines, providing risk-prioritized reports that help teams focus on critical issues first. These tools don’t replace human expertise—they amplify it, allowing preconstruction teams to concentrate on strategic decision-making rather than manual document review.

AI-powered design review represents a fundamental shift from reactive problem-solving to proactive risk prevention—transforming an industry historically plagued by disputes into one defined by collaboration and success.
