BEIJING, Aug. 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Glodon has officially released the Construction Enterprises’ AI Initiatives, a white paper that presents a systematic and actionable roadmap for applying AI in the construction industry. Rooted in real industry pain points, the white paper offers strategic direction for construction enterprises to achieve high-quality development in the AI era.
As one of the largest sectors of the global economy, the construction industry is at a pivotal moment of transformation, driven by advancements in AI.
The white paper emphasizes that only Industrial AI can effectively address the unique challenges of the construction sector. Rather than simply transplanting general-purpose AI, Industrial AI requires deep integration of domain knowledge, professional software, and AI technology. At its core lies a closed-loop system of data, algorithms, computing power, and scenarios. Building and activating a mutually reinforcing flywheel around these four elements is key to embedding AI in real business processes and delivering sustainable value.
According to the white paper, value creation should be the central driver of AI adoption for construction enterprises. The most urgent and practical value today is cost saving. To truly help enterprises cut costs, AI capabilities must be developed around the core value chain of the construction business — integrated design, refined cost management, and precise construction management.
As a leading practitioner of Industrial AI in construction, Glodon offers a comprehensive software ecosystem that supports all stages and business aspects of the building lifecycle, covering the entire project process, all key elements, and all stakeholders.
In the design phase, Glodon’s AI-powered conceptual design software, Concetto, can generate multiple design plans based on client needs and estimate costs in seconds, enabling early control of up to 80% of total construction costs. In cost management, AI-based quantity takeoff reduces traditional processes from 16 hours to 4, while intelligent pricing improves efficiency by 80%. During construction, solutions like smart tower cranes, AI-driven labor and material management applications help optimize key production factors, saving time and costs. Project management tools further enhance operational efficiency and support profit growth.
The release of this white paper not only demystifies AI for industry players, but also delivers a clear, practical framework for implementation, helping drive the construction sector’s transition toward intelligent, high-value development.
