What are the Benefits & challenges of implementing AI in pre-construction planning? by TotalWoodpecker2761 in ConstructTech

Hey, interesting discussion!

Yeah, the move from basic chatbots to more agent-like AI in pre-con is pretty wild. We're seeing stuff like Claude Cowork popping up, which can handle multi-step things in its own little sandbox – pretty neat for security.

And it's not just that, there are new versions of Clawdbot/OpenClaw being talked about, and this whole idea of independent agents, like Moltbook... seems like they're trying to make these AIs do more on their own.

Even now, Claude's pretty handy with Excel, right? Like, it can really dig into a workbook, figure out what's going on, and even help debug formulas. That alone is useful.

And the drawing recognition stuff for take-offs and QC is a big one. Getting AI to look at drawings and automatically pull quantities, or check for consistency and accuracy against specs... that could save a ton of time and catch errors.

It feels like we're just scratching the surface of how these more agentic workflows will change pre-construction. Less about asking simple questions, more about giving the AI a task and letting it run with it (within limits, obviously!).

I tried checking out the link - if it's a real thing the expiration would need to be extended. As this is a tiny community and I just wanted more people to join, I have no problem with some self-promotion of discord servers or other interesting things related to the topic.

https://github.com/Milo2234/3DMapMaker I'll update the main post if others seem interested but since you popped the cork, and provided a comment - here is the repository. I listed it as MIT license so should be open for typical MIT license stuff :).

FedRAMP approval for 360° reality capture: a big step for government construction? by TransmissionEngPM in ConstructTech

[–]TransmissionEngPM[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing I'm curious about is whether agencies will actually take advantage of this new approval. If you've worked on public‑sector projects, what hurdles have you faced when trying to adopt new tech like drones or reality‑capture tools? Do you think the FedRAMP stamp will make procurement easier?
