The premise
Construction-AI specialists fly drones, install fixed cameras, and run vision models that detect PPE compliance, schedule progress, and rework risks. The hard part is field adoption.
What AI does well here
- Detect missing hardhats, harnesses, and high-vis vests in image streams
- Compare weekly drone scans against the 4D BIM schedule
- Flag unsafe scaffolding and fall-hazard configurations
What AI cannot do
- Operate in conditions of dust, glare, and poor weather reliably
- Replace daily walk-throughs and toolbox talks
- Survive without on-site IT and connectivity infrastructure
