Artificial intelligence (AI) is an increasingly transformative force in the construction industry, that's altering how projects are planned, managed, and executed. AI-powered technology poses a major opportunity for AECO firms to dramatically improve productivity, reduce operating costs, and enhance safety in construction projects. According to the 2025 Autodesk Design & Make Report, over 76% of leaders say they are increasing their investment in AI, up 9% from the previous year. As the construction sector becomes more digitally advanced and works to proactively solve issues like the labour shortage and rising costs, AI has a crucial role in this transformation. AI can impact nearly every aspect of the design, preconstruction, and building process.

Autodesk AI is technology available in Autodesk products and native to Autodesk’s Design and Make Platform. Autodesk AI augments design and engineering processes, automates tedious and repetitive work, and analyses project data to offer predictive insights.
Autodesk AI can bring numerous benefits to a construction project:
Our customers are industry experts and this industry has a lot of variability across projects and regions. For the foreseeable future, we see opportunities for AI to automate, provide insights, and provide design alternatives, but always with the expert in control. AI will serve as a digital assistant, but the professional will still be the one giving instructions to the system, engineering prompts, making selections from various design alternatives that the system generates, and controlling the final product.
Autodesk AI is beneficial for a wide range of professionals across all phases of the construction industry including project managers, site engineers, construction planners, architects, builders, contractors, and safety managers.
Autodesk Build leverages Autodesk AI-powered tools to streamline workflows, automate tasks, and support smarter, faster decision-making throughout the project lifecycle. For example, Autodesk Assistant brings the power of conversational AI to construction professionals, helping users quickly find information, validate data, and generate summaries. Construction IQ analyses project data, identifying and prioritising risks across design, quality, safety, and project management. Autotags on Photos uses machine learning to automatically add construction related tags to project photos, making it easier to organise, search and find the photos you need. The Sheets tool automatically extracts sheet numbers and titles from multi-page PDFs, so teams can quickly find the drawings they need – when they need them. ACC AutoSpecs analyses specification documents and automatically generates submittal logs in minutes, while AI in the Specifications tool breaks down lengthy spec books into easily digestible sections – saving time, reducing errors, and giving teams clearer insight into design intent and risk. Autodesk AI also analyses current specifications alongside historical project data to suggest potentially missing items. These are just a few of the AI features currently available in Autodesk Build.
Autodesk Takeoff includes a growing set of Autodesk AI-powered capabilities designed to make quantification workflows faster and more accurate. For example, Autodesk Assistant uses conversational AI, giving users more intuitive and flexible ways to access, validate, and summarise critical information in published specifications. Automated Symbol Detection lets users trace a single symbol, and Autodesk AI automatically detects and counts all matching symbols on the drawing. The Specifications tool provides easier access to spec information and AI breaks large, complex spec books into digestible, searchable sections, making it easier for estimators to find what matters. Additionally, Construction IQ brings risk awareness to the preconstruction phase by analysing project data and identifying potential issues early. These are just a few of the AI features currently available in Autodesk Takeoff.
Autodesk Docs includes a growing set of Autodesk AI-powered capabilities designed to help project teams work smarter and make more informed decisions throughout the project lifecycle. For example, Autodesk Assistant brings the power of conversational AI to construction professionals, helping users navigate, summarise, and validate project specifications more efficiently. Construction IQ analyses project data to identify and prioritise risks for earlier visibility into downstream impacts. Automated Drawing Extraction uses OCR to extract key attributes from project drawings, providing a more advanced way to manage documents. Additionally, within the Specifications tool, AI breaks down lengthy spec books into more digestible sections for easier consumption and understanding in both the office and the site. These are just a few of the AI features currently available in Autodesk Docs.
Autodesk AI enhances preconstruction workflows in BuildingConnected Pro, Tenders Pro, and TradeTapp with capabilities designed to reduce busywork and give users more time to focus on building strong project teams. BuildingConnected’s Recommendation Engine helps teams quickly find the right subcontractors for projects by suggesting tenderers based on location, trade expertise, and past performance. Tender Forwarding pulls key details from tender invitations received outside of BuildingConnected and organises them in Tenders, making it easier for subcontractors to manage and aggregate all their invites in a centralised location. TradeTapp’s Financial Data Extraction uses AI to turn PDF financial statements into structured data, giving a clearer, more complete view of a subcontractor’s financial qualifications. These are just a few of the AI features currently available in BuildingConnected Pro, Tenders Pro, and TradeTapp.
