• Abstract

    The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into the management and building sector has witnessed significant advancements in recent years. Traditional methods can fall short in meeting these demands, prompting the exploration of AI solutions. This review aims to identify existing gaps, assess the efficacy of current AI applications and provide insights into potential areas for further development. A comprehensive literature review was conducted, encompassing peer-reviewed articles, industry reports and case studies. The analysis focused on AI applications such as machine learning, robotics and data analytics in the context of project management, resource optimization along with sustainable building practices. The review identifies key AI applications in project planning, risk management and construction processes, demonstrating their potential to streamline operations and improve decision-making. The analysis reveals successful implementations of AI-driven technologies, highlighting their impact on cost reduction, time efficiency and sustainability practices. Additionally, emerging trends such as generative design and smart buildings indicate promising directions for future development. The integration of Artificial Intelligence in the management and building sector demonstrates substantial benefits in efficiency, cost reduction and sustainability, while ongoing research as well as adaptation to emerging technologies is crucial for sustained progress.
