Novo Nordisk, the maker of Ozempic, used to spend 15 weeks writing reports for regulators... now it takes less than 10 minutes. The reason it works so well isn't because they write a prompt and let AI take the wheel, it's because the humans work side-by-side with the model. "Humans still oversee Claude as it drafts the report, essentially by pointing and clicking at data and asking Claude to describe it in plain English." We're doing the same thing with SpecHelper, but for construction specifications instead of clinical trials. When getting it right is the only option, humans will always need to be in the drivers seat.

The better AI gets, the more serious its mistakes will be. As AI models make fewer and fewer mistakes, people will start to trust it more. This means when they're reviewing the output, they're more likely to just skim for glaring errors and miss the more nuanced, but often more serious mistakes or omissions. In my opinion, doing an in-depth review of someone else's work is a worse job than doing it from scratch... especially if I'm pretty sure it's correct anyway. It's extremely important to keep this in mind whenever an AI provider tells you that your staff will "just have to review the output". * the data in the graph below is illustrative only

Construction quality management has come a long way over the years, but I believe we're at the very beginning of its 4th wave. Let me know if you agree with our breakdown below. Quality 1.0 - The Wild West  - No processes, hope for the best Quality 2.0 - Plan Do Check Act - Inspection & Test Plans, Audits, Sharing lessons learnt  Quality 3.0 - Paper to Digital  - moving from paper to mobile apps and PDFs, project management software  Quality 4.0 - Right Tool for the Right Job - automatic as-built verification, intelligent document management, digital twins, smart sensors Read our report on the future of construction quality management here: https://lnkd.in/egg7Qhnn #constructiontech #constructionquality #construction Qualomate

Quality 4.0 is all about the right tool for the right job. On some projects, maybe all you need is a checklist app. On a high-rise, 360 cameras with AI could be a god-send. When laying asphalt with bonuses and penalties, intelligent compaction and thermal cameras could make or break the project. If you're trying to close out a multi-billion dollar transportation project, intelligent document processing could save you years of work. The one thing that's certain is that there's no one-size-fits-all. Check out the full report using the link in the comments

Tired of searching through thousands of PDFs for one piece of information? We've built construction's first location-based search engine... think Google Maps for your drawings.

We're excited to share that we've joined the GIRI (Get it Right Initiative) to reduce errors in construction! This group of industry experts and organizations works to create a culture that gets it right from the start to reduce the estimated 21% of construction costs that are avoidable errors. Check out their website for some great resources on error reduction.

The PDF was invented in 1992, but since then there hasn't been much innovation in construction document management. With today's labor shortages and growing project size, we can't afford for it to stay that way. In this article, I discuss how Google's PageRank algorithm revolutionized the internet by making Search incredibly easy, how Construction needs an "I'm Feeling Lucky" button, and how we're working towards that goal at Qualomate.
