Construction defects can cause a lot of problems including damage to homes and put people in danger or being hurt or killed on a construction site or while at home.
Unfortunately, construction defects happen despite people’s best efforts. These days, tech companies are trying to improve the safety of construction sites. Companies like Komatsu and NVIDIA are trying to bring artificial intelligence (AI) to construction sites. This technology will monitor surroundings and identify hazards with the goal of minimizing human error to improve overall safety and reduce construction defects, which will save money and lives.
AI is still new in the construction industry space, so it’s important for all companies to abide by certain protocols and use the proper materials so the number of construction defects lower. It will take time to see how AI truly helps with construction defects.
