How do I use AI in construction?

Short answer

Start with one workflow you want to change. For estimating, AI takeoff tools read plans and draft quantities. For project management, platforms like Procore answer questions from your own documents. For safety, camera AI like EarthCam flags missing PPE and hazards, and Buildots tracks progress from 360 photos. For dealers, order-entry AI like Toolbx and Proton.ai turns emails and handwritten lists into orders. Pick a tool with a trial or demo, test it on a real job, and keep a person checking the output.
