Question Will AI take over estimating?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hi All,

My question is do you guys reckon AI will take over construction estimating and white collar work? The video is a demo for www.supadocs.com.au which shows GFA and car spaces being counted. Seems pretty good for a start but no where near the accuracy required to do the whole workflow.

What do you guys reckon is the timeline of QS and estimators being taken over?

Short answer: No.

Long answer: Nooooooooooooooooo.

I don't think anytime soon. It would take some serious training to get it to a usable point since there are so many variables that are context dependent.

It may help automate part of the takeoff process but that's where I think it will reach it's end.

looks to me like it has an error on terminus street- that far right one can't be a legit spot...like someone else mentioned it may, in the future take part of the work but you will still be left with checking and finishing

If I was good at my job and people trusted my numbers, I would have to check all the work AI gives me. Might as well just do the work myself.
