This year was the
year of Artificial Intelligence . Although it is nothing new, technologies that promise augmented reality and task automation have gained greater reach since the launch of ChatGPT.

In addition to this tool, other AI technologies are widely used in architecture to bring more efficiency.
João Lobato, architect at GrowT, a startup focused on projects and engineering, explains that Artificial Intelligence brings
benefits to many areas, and the construction industry is no different. “Speaking specifically about our area, AI is used in customer service, through
chat , for example, increasing the speed and effectiveness of this contact, but the benefits go beyond that, and are present even in the completion of works”, comments the specialist.

A intenção deste office é transportar o visitante aos anos 1960, uma década que permanece contemporânea no design, e render uma homenagem ao músico João Gilberto. (Marcelo Negromonte/CASACOR)
Below, we list the main advantages of using Artificial Intelligence in civil construction:
1- Personalized service
Lobato emphasizes that using technology helps to better identify the customer's profile when they are still in the purchasing phase, providing a better view of expectations and also of how to meet them.
2- Planning
The use of AI helps to create more realistic planning and projections during construction. “It is the best way to plan, put the project into practice and correct possible errors,” he says.
3- Reduce failures
Reducing errors and even potential accidents that could compromise the health of employees and the deadline for the project are advantages. “AI allows image recognition to be performed to identify risk areas and situations or employees without PPE through technology,” he explains.
4- Predictability
The use of ultra-realistic renders allows for a much more faithful visualization of the final project, which avoids errors during the work and also ensures greater alignment between the architect and the client.
5- Cost reduction
Reducing the number of errors means making the project cheaper. One of the most widely used tools is BIM, which provides a more accurate view, reducing waste and increasing productivity.
