Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Design and Construction of Buildings

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) represents a revolutionary advancement in the fields of design and construction. This study aims to examine the impact of AI on the design and execution of buildings. The study adopts a descriptive approach through a review of relevant literature.

The findings reveal several opportunities for the use of AI in the design process, including resources procuring, facilitating drawing and planning processes, generating a large number of creative alternatives, providing innovative design solutions, and enhancing environmental sustainability.

Regarding the construction phase, AI contributes to improving efficiency by enhancing safety, saving time and effort, reducing errors, predicting potential risks, and improving project and construction site management.

On the other hand, AI faces several challenges in the design and construction of buildings, including the availability and quality of data, high initial costs, lack of digital skills among workers, weak infrastructure, limited interoperability, and the absence of ethical, regulatory, and legal frameworks.
