Kontrolný zoznam sebahodnotenia

1

Project Documentation & Data

  • ☐Are your site diaries, snag lists, and reports stored in a searchable cloud format (e.g., Procore, Fieldwire, or SharePoint)?
  • ☐Do you have at least three years of historical project data (bids vs. actuals) stored digitally?
  • ☐Can you pull up a specific change order from a project two years ago in under 60 seconds?
  • ☐Are your site photos tagged by project phase and location?
✅ Pripravené

Your project history is a clean, digital library that an AI can 'read' to predict future timelines.

⚠️ Nepripravené

Crucial project knowledge is trapped in physical notebooks or individual email inboxes.

2

Estimating & Tendering

  • ☐Do you use a standardised cost-code system across all projects?
  • ☐Is your supplier pricing updated in a central database rather than scattered PDFs?
  • ☐Do you track 'Win/Loss' ratios and the specific reasons for losing bids in a CRM?
  • ☐Is your estimation process documented step-by-step?
✅ Pripravené

You have a consistent logic for pricing that can be automated to produce drafts in minutes.

⚠️ Nepripravené

Estimating relies on the 'gut feel' or 'black box' spreadsheets of one senior staff member.

3

Site Safety & Compliance

  • ☐Are safety inspections recorded via mobile apps rather than paper forms?
  • ☐Do you have a digital register of all staff certifications and their expiry dates?
  • ☐Are incident reports categorised by type and severity in a database?
  • ☐Do you use any visual site monitoring (e.g., cameras or drones) that produces digital footage?
✅ Pripravené

Your safety data is structured enough for an AI to identify high-risk patterns before accidents happen.

⚠️ Nepripravené

Compliance is a box-ticking exercise done on paper and filed away in a physical cabinet.

4

Back-Office & Finance

  • ☐Are your invoices processed using OCR (Optical Character Recognition) tools like Dext or AutoEntry?
  • ☐Do you use cloud accounting software (Xero/QuickBooks) integrated with project management tools?
  • ☐Is your payroll automated for both employees and subcontractors?
  • ☐Do you have a clear process for tracking plant and equipment hire durations?
✅ Pripravené

Administrative overhead is low because data flows automatically between finance and site apps.

⚠️ Nepripravené

Your office manager spends more than 5 hours a week manually entering data from site receipts.

Rýchle víťazstvá na zlepšenie vášho skóre

  • ⚡Digitise the site diary: Use a simple app to ensure every daily log is searchable and timestamped.
  • ⚡OCR for Invoices: Stop manual entry of supplier bills to save 10+ hours of admin a month instantly.
  • ⚡Voice-to-Text: Have site leads record notes via AI transcription tools like Otter.ai or Grain to capture raw site data effortlessly.
  • ⚡Centralise Supplier Pricing: Move price lists from PDFs into a single, clean spreadsheet or database.

Bežné prekážky

  • 🚧Data Silos: Information is split between the site van, the head office, and subcontractor spreadsheets.
  • 🚧Cultural Resistance: Experienced site managers often distrust 'algorithm-led' decision making.
  • 🚧Connectivity Gaps: Poor Wi-Fi or 4G/5G on remote sites prevents real-time data sync.
  • 🚧Inconsistent Inputs: If five site managers record daily logs five different ways, the AI can't find a pattern.

Pohľad Penny

Construction is a 'physical world' business, but its biggest losses happen in the 'digital world' of bad data and missed details. AI isn't going to lay bricks for you yet, but it can stop you from losing £20,000 because a project manager missed a sub-clause in a 200-page tender document. Most firms I see are nowhere near ready for advanced AI because their data is still living in a ring-binder in a site trailer. Real readiness in this sector looks like 'Data Hygiene.' If you don't have a digital trail of how much a linear metre of copper pipe cost you over the last three years, an AI can't help you bid better. Start by killing the paper. The moment your site-to-office communication is 100% digital and structured, you've already beaten 90% of your competition. Don't buy a 'Safety AI' if your team is still signing in with a Sharpie on a piece of plywood.

Otázky o pripravenosti na AI

How much does it cost to get 'AI-ready' in construction?+
It's less about a lump sum and more about software subscriptions. Moving from paper to a digital suite (like Procore or Fieldwire) usually costs between £150–£500 per user per year. The 'AI' part is often then a built-in feature or a low-cost add-on.
Can AI really read my technical blueprints?+
Yes. Tools like Togal.ai can already perform take-offs from 2D drawings in seconds, identifying walls, floors, and windows with about 95% accuracy. However, you need high-quality PDF exports, not grainy scans of coffee-stained paper.
Is AI just for tier-1 contractors with huge budgets?+
No. In fact, SMEs have more to gain because they have thinner margins. A small firm using AI for automated scheduling or invoice processing can operate with the administrative efficiency of a company twice its size.
Will AI replace my estimators?+
Unlikely. It will replace the 'counting' part of their job. They'll stop spending 4 hours measuring lines on a screen and start spending 4 hours negotiating better rates or identifying project risks.
What is the very first tool I should use?+
Start with a solid OCR tool for finance (like Dext) and a mobile-first project management tool (like Fieldwire). You can't run AI on data you haven't captured yet.
