AI is making waves in the construction and infrastructure industry, promising to bring major changes to the way we work. According to Deloitte, AI and advanced analytics can save at least 10% on budget, time, and work hours — an appealing number in an industry where every second and penny count. But while AI’s potential is huge, understanding where to start can feel overwhelming.

The Rise of AI in the AECO Industry
Today, AI is becoming an essential tool across all industries, including construction. 40% of people now use AI daily for personal and professional tasks (McKinsey & Co.’s State of AI in 2023). And in the AECO industry, companies are adopting AI to streamline tasks, improve efficiency, and cut costs.
Here’s how it’s making a difference:
- AI analyses data buried in drawings, files, invoices, and reports, providing insights that enhance design accuracy, streamline project management, and improve safety.
- AI-powered software enables quick design updates and smoother collaboration among stakeholders.
- Building owners are using AI to cut energy costs and reduce environmental impact by automatically adjusting heating, cooling, and energy use based on real-time data.
- Generative AI (GenAI) is helping AECO companies with meeting notes, content creation, and more, similar to its applications in other industries.
How Bluebeam and Industry Leaders Harness AI’s Power
With 65% of GenAI users being millennials and Gen Z, the younger generation is embracing AI at work, and the AECO industry is taking note. Bluebeam’s latest AI-powered tools are designed to save time on routine tasks, freeing up professionals to focus on the work that truly matters.
- Auto-Align simplifies point alignment on drawings, eliminating hours of manual adjustments.
- Automatic Title Block Recognition automates title block creation, making setup a breeze.
- AI-powered 3D Drawings convert flat drawings into interactive 3D models, bringing designs to life.
A great example is Arup, a firm using dTwin’s AI solution to reduce operating costs and improve tenant retention. By implementing AI, Arup has seen up to a 15-20% reduction in variable operating costs and a 10-15% boost in tenant retention for office and industrial buildings.
