AI in Construction: 2026 Trends

How AI technologies are transforming construction: from cost estimation automation to predictive analytics on sites.

The construction industry is undergoing revolutionary changes thanks to artificial intelligence. In 2026, we are observing several key trends.

1. Cost Estimation Automation

AI agents can review a 100-item estimate in 5-10 minutes instead of 4-8 hours of manual work. This is not just acceleration — it eliminates human error and systemic mistakes.

2. Predictive Analytics

Analysis of site data allows predicting delays, budget overruns, and safety risks before they become critical.

3. RAG Technologies for Regulatory Compliance

The Stroyintel platform uses 3-tier RAG (ApeRAG + GraphRAG) to work with 203 regulatory documents — building codes, standards, and federal laws.
