In the construction industry, the unforeseen problems in the original contract or the set of drawings are almost inevitable. Addenda and RFI design are common, with excess 87% of the construction Projects that undergo changes that lead to cost delays or expenses. These delays may significantly affect project budgets, Give expensive contractual disputes, relationships of interested parties and potential loss of future businesses.
What is really exciting for both developers and contractors is the appearance of AI technologies in the real world, applicable and proven. Contractors, in particular, have become more and more preconstruction software adopters in response to the inherent risk of projects. The continued focus on innovation in the pre -construction process has helped limit the avoidable impacts before the construction phase even begins. In this article, we will explore as aDVANCENTS in IA can help to deal with possible project delays and achieve more successful projects results.
Early planning and prevention
Experts unanimously agree that investing time in early planning and prevention is crucial for successful construction management. It is imperative to identify the potential causes of delays and mitigate their impacts, as even a small delay can have serious consequences that affect the entire project.
It is important to emphasize that solving problems that can cause delays or cost increases during the pre -construction phase before estimating, offering, hiring and purchase can go a long way to mitigate those risk factors that lead to delays of delays the construction when they are not addressed early.
While inevitable risk factors such as meteorological events, natural disasters, vandalism and other unforeseen problems can lead to the projects program setbacks, many types of construction delays are avoidable. These include:
- Re -elaboration caused by incorrect, late or Incomplete design information
- Draw mistakenly, Errors and mistake of plans that do not match or contain conflicting information
- Owner/client scope organizer that require re -elaboration, additional resources and/or equipment and equipment
- Increased RFI number that require research and review
- Multiples of the dams for approvals
- Contract contracts leading to work stops
- Material or work impacts due to resource planning changes
- Communication remains between the interested parties of the project
There are many cEstruction software solutions focused on the efficiency, productivity and risk mitigation that can improve your pre -construction process. From estimation, takeoffs and contracting tools for design review and programming, there are resources available to complement your teams.
Focusing -specifically on the advances in AI design review, a biggie, we look at the possible delay factors that can be completely foreseen, mitigated or eliminated.
Incorrect, late or incomplete design information
As can be seen in a recent item about Avoid construction disputes, The main causes of project distress had their roots in changes in scope and incomplete designs. In fact, three design -focused factors: incorrect, late or incomplete design information, affected a larger proportion of projects in general (44.8%) than the only change of scope (38.8%).
The project teams are engaged in today’s creation process than before the past, working on design documents. It is not optimal, from a risk point of view, when developing budgets and schedules and trying to combat the shortage of the supply chain and quick hiring delays.
Contractors offer high value to identify possible project problems and obtain as clarified from the possible project before the construction of the construction team. Taking advantage of the IA to complement its critical design review process has been a game changing room for those that are inclined to the technology that advances.

Based on cloud AI design review tools It can provide meticulous analysis of PDF documents and identify problems such as missing information, discrepancies, gaps, and cross -discipline controls in hours. Efficiency gains are only notable, as manual review processes can take weeks.
Pre-construction and quality equipment can focus on the evaluation and mitigation of identified risks, instead of combing through hundreds or thousands of sheets, allowing better decision-making and greatly increasing the likelihood of a Successful project result.
Scope Creep
The extent of the extent occurs when a new, different or additional work is requested that is not contained in the plane set approved, especially the continuous changes. Not having a clear scope of the project will inevitably lead to severe delays. Over time, these delays add to the significant cancellations of the calendar. Each time new or additional work is requested, you must review, estimate and approve the new materials and/or additional labor.
The CREEP range affects a project in many ways. It expands the project time line, delays certain milestones, establishes scheduled work activities and contributes to budget expenses. The fact of obtaining additional items with little or no driving time produces higher costs.
