AI for Construction

Throughout the lifecycle of any construction project, artificial intelligence has the potential to assist engineers and project manages review design, bidding and financing documentation to ensure project delivery is successful.

How to Enhance Construction Projects with New Dialogue AI?

New Dialogue AI enables construction teams to securely publish project related files; technical requirements, drawings, daily reports, bidding documents related to the construction contract agreement, and chat with them in a secure and private AI environment.

Artificial intelligence provides construction organizations with a significant advantage in a data-rich world where any unused time can have substantial financial consequences. New Dialogue AI provides the ability for construction teams to identify opportunities for efficiency improvements across all project phases.

How could New Dialogue AI enable us to provide on the job training at our site locations?

Training is a challenge across all industries, however the construction industry seeks personnel looking to change careers which has led to a significant demand for effective training. Construction companies looking to bring novice workers up to speed can accelerate this onboarding through utilizing AI and predictive modeling tools to analyze personal learning paths and how they align with best practices. AI can also assist in identifying areas for improvement and skill gaps, allowing new workers to benefit from the knowledge of construction professionals who have years of experience through data collection.

New Dialogue AI has been designed to allow novices entering your organization to access your knowledge base through a simple chat interface that can be delivered via the web or via the native New Dialogue iOS and Android apps, allowing workers on-site to query your knowledge get accurate and well defined answers to the problems they're trying to solve in real-time. Your knowledge might be in the form of onboarding guides, safety documentation, site assessments and more which all alleviate the challenges of new starters being unfamiliar with their responsibilities.

How can New Dialogue AI assist with equipment usage optimization?

Construction can and usually demands substantial capital expenditure on equipment. New Dialogue AI provides the ability to interrogate tasks that have been performed and provide comparisons between outcomes and planned schedules to provide visibility into how processes can be improved and enhanced.

Presently, construction schedules can be optimized without having to rely on rinse-and-repeat schedules for each individual project in order to ascertain the actual duration of tasks. By virtue of this knowledge, the process becomes more profitable and efficient.

New Dialogue AI can assist with identifying utilization of resources, if you provide a suitable amount of documentation that outlines and addresses how equipment is deployed across various projects. Ultimately we designed New Dialogue AI to assist you with understanding your data by asking the AI general queries. Examples of this may include;

'what type of projects typically put demand on our equipment?'

'what projects require the least amount of X-type equipment?'

'what equipment type is the most expensive to operate, for which type of project?'

Can New Dialogue AI help us increase our sustainability?

All construction sites generate a significant amount of waste. Artificial intelligence can provide opportunities for understanding waste minimization through identifying overestimation of materials, changes in design planning and construction scope, project change requests and more.

Accurately forecasting the precise specifications, time, and amount required can be aided by procurement. Through this process, material waste may be significantly reduced, material costs can be optimized, and the operations of the construction site can benefit. Unexpected objects need the site to stop work immediately in order to physically organize them, which interferes with more crucial procedures that may have been originally scheduled. New Dialogue AI allows you to ask 'what if' scenarios and if the knowledge you've shared with the service is deep enough, New Dialogue will attempt to provide scenarios to assist with sustainability planning.

Are our project files secure when using New Dialogue AI?

Yes, absolutely. New Dialogue was developed to enable users like you to securely and privately leverage the best of what current AI tools provide in conversing and interrogating your own knowledge in ways that haven't been possible. New Dialogue AI utilizes a technical process called RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation), which is the optimization process of a Large Language Model's (LLM) output by consulting a pre-existing knowledge base (your content in the form of documents) beyond its training data, in order to generate a response. As such, the responses New Dialogue generates are solely based on your content.

How does it work?

You can start a free 7-day trial of New Dialogue. Once you've created an account, simply upload a colletion of your project files, but keep in mind there's a 500MB limit with the 7-day trial which is sufficient for about 100 documents.

Once you've published your collection, start chatting securely and privately with your files using the New Dialogue AI chat prompt.
