AI-Built: How Artificial Intelligence Is Rewiring Construction Forever

Construction has always been an industry defined by progress—brick by brick, building by building, innovation by innovation. Yet for decades, the pace of that progress has been slow, constrained by labor shortages, inefficiencies, outdated processes, and resistance to change. Today, a new force is reshaping the entire built environment: artificial intelligence.
As an engineer with more than 30 years of global experience in HVAC, MEP design, construction, and troubleshooting, I have witnessed firsthand how technology has transformed sites, teams, and projects. But nothing compares to the exponential shift that AI is bringing. From automated design to predictive maintenance, from robotics to digital twins, AI is not merely improving construction—it is rewriting the rules entirely.
This book is written to help engineers, architects, construction managers, developers, and decision-makers understand this transformation. More importantly, it shows how they can prepare themselves, their teams, and their businesses for an AI-driven future.
Welcome to the next chapter of construction.
Welcome to AI-Built.
