AI-Ready Construction Planning Depends on Data and BIM

AI can improve construction planning only when outputs are accurate, interoperable and ready for BIM-based workflows. The article examines practical applications in cost estimation, floor-plan iteration, code compliance and scan-to-BIM, while showing how model choice, data quality and legacy integration affect production viability. It also highlights the need for human review, security controls and continuous monitoring. Technology leaders should prioritise a bounded workflow with measurable time loss before investing in broader AI adoption.
