Your Field Problems Start in Design: What the Suffolk and MIT AI Report Means for Contractors

AI in construction, explained for contractors. Eric Anderton reads the Suffolk and MIT white paper, Construction in the Age of AI, and pulls out what a $25 to $500 million contractor can use now in design, scheduling and procurement. Read the report: https://suffolk.com/wp-content/upload... The paper estimates 17 to 20% in potential cost savings and 22 to 25% on schedule, based on a model of one completed project in San Francisco. Eric explains where those numbers came from, why field problems often start in design, how AI could link design changes and delivery dates to the schedule, and why none of it works without accurate data.
