}
{
"text": "
The tension between hype and practical impact is shaping how leading AEC firms approach technology. In Construction Business, Darren Burns and Brendan Mullins share how the challenge is not simply about experimenting with AI and automation. It’s also about how to use them to improve project delivery.
Better delivery outcomes often come not from massive system overhauls but from targeted, thoughtful applications of digital tools by practitioners. Using project examples to illustrate our approach, the authors cover themes such as:
- How digital practice leads are combining their backgrounds in computational design with the power of AI to develop custom-tailored tools for project teams—in hours, not days or weeks.
- Ways that digital coordination tools make it easier to identify and resolve issues earlier. This shifts the economics of delivery.
- Why digital transformation is such a game changer for AEC. It’s not just about increasing speed and output, it’s about expanding organizational capability.
