The Use of AI Within The Construction Industry
R
26:24Robin ClevettHOST
Can you give us some insight into how you've seen tradespeople and the construction industry embrace AI so far?
K
26:36Kate OlesiGUEST
Um, you know, we've been doing research to really understand how are people across the UK using AI, and we've seen an incredible growth in AI adoption over the course of the past year.
K
26:50Kate OlesiGUEST
And so overall, when we look in the UK, we are now seeing about 73% of people using AI.
K
26:57Kate OlesiGUEST
But when we look at the construction industry in particular, we actually see that 81% of people in the construction trade are using AI, which is phenomenal.
K
27:09Kate OlesiGUEST
Um, when you unpack that further though, what's interesting is that only 16% of construction workers are what we would call advanced users, and these are the people who are really using AI to transform the way that they work on a regular basis, and as a result, sort of truly unlock the benefits, reclaim time, use it to help them grow their businesses.
