Firms that produce drawings, estimates, schedules and reports.
This work is heavy on documents and drawings, and it runs on deadlines. AI can already take a useful first pass at a lot of it.
Time goes missing all through a project. Before the bid it goes on takeoffs and scope gaps, during design on drawing revisions and checks, and during construction on requests for information and field changes that need an answer the same day. AI can take the first pass at much of that work, so people spend more of the day on the decisions.
