Artificial Intelligence (AI) and digital technologies are poised to revolutionize the construction industry, with the potential to reduce project costs by 2-3%, according to Ganesan, a senior executive at L&T Construction. This transformation is set to address inefficiencies, optimize resources, and enhance project delivery timelines.
Speaking on the impact of AI, Ganesan emphasized how data-driven insights are helping construction companies minimize waste and improve productivity. Advanced analytics, predictive modeling, and smart monitoring systems are enabling better decision-making, ensuring projects are completed on time and within budget.
Digital twin technology, another innovation highlighted by Ganesan, creates virtual replicas of construction sites, allowing teams to anticipate challenges and make real-time adjustments. Similarly, AI-powered robotics and automated machinery are reducing labor-intensive processes, driving both efficiency and cost savings.
Ganesan also noted that the adoption of AI and digital tools aligns with the industry’s shift toward sustainable construction practices. By reducing material wastage and energy consumption, these technologies are contributing to greener and more efficient infrastructure development.
As the construction sector embraces AI and digital transformation, the industry is set to witness unprecedented advancements, benefiting developers, contractors, and clients alike.
