The Associated Builders and Contractors released its fourth annual construction technology report, which focuses on the impacts of artificial intelligence in the construction industry.

The report includes a case study and thought leadership from ABC’s Tech Alliance on how ABC is strengthening members’ understanding of AI. 

“ABC contractor members and the overall contracting community want more information on AI and how it can help them improve safety, quality and profitability — and win more work,” said Matt Abeles, ABC vice president of construction technology and innovation. “The ABC AI Tech Report highlights examples and insights from industry leaders invested in AI’s commitment to supporting the construction industry.”

The ABC AI Tech Report includes an AI Resource Guide that summarizes the basics of AI, a real-life case study from ABC contractor member Hensel Phelps and insights from Tech Alliance members and Dodge Construction Network.

“The interest in AI and machine learning is vast, which is why any contractor would find value in reading this report,” said Patrick Irwin, chair of ABC’s Construction Technology and Innovation Committee and chief operating officer at Leonard S. Fiore Inc., Altoona, Pa.

“For contractors and the construction industry in general, there is so much for us to learn relative to AI and [machine learning] so that we understand how to prepare, the possible uses and the overall implications," Irwin added. "These tools can be used to move our businesses and the industry forward, and this report can give us all an opportunity to begin or continue our AI journey.”

The ABC National Construction Technology and Innovation Committee published the ABC AI Tech Report, written for contractors by cross-collaborating partners, contractors, and industry leaders.

The report is made possible by ABC’s 2024-2025 Tech Alliance members: Arcoro, Autodesk Inc., BuildOps, Document Crunch, Egnyte, Field Control Analytics, Kojo, KPA, Procore, Sage, Smartapp, SmartBuild, SubHQ, Stack and Trimble.

ABC continues to invest in helping our members select high-quality construction technology available to them through its Tech Alliance, Tech Marketplace and Safety Tech Guide.
