To reap the full potential of design and project management tools, the entire planning and delivery team needs to keep up to date with the latest technology. Access to digital platforms also needs to be shared, ensuring a common data environment.
Technology and AI can help construction claims and disputes in several ways:
1. Design Documentation: AI-powered design tools can capture clashes between disciplines, which can be used as evidence in claims and disputes.
2. Construction Documentation: AI-powered cameras and drones can capture images and videos of construction sites, which can be used as evidence in claims and disputes.
3. Contract Management: AI-powered contract management systems can automatically track and analyze contractual obligations, helping to identify and resolve disputes before they escalate.
4. Predictive Analytics: AI algorithms can analyze large amounts of data to identify potential problems in a construction project, such as budget overruns or delays, and help resolve disputes before they arise.
5. Contractor Performance Monitoring: AI tools can monitor the performance of contractors in real-time, helping to identify and resolve disputes related to construction quality and compliance with regulations.
6. Dispute Resolution: AI-powered dispute resolution systems can assist in resolving disputes through automated negotiations and decision-making processes, reducing the time and cost associated with traditional dispute resolution methods.
Overall, the use of technology and AI in design and construction could reduce and to some extend avoid claims/ or disputes and can lead to more efficient, fair, and cost-effective resolution of disputes.
Without a fundamental change of approach, complex projects delivered in a fast-track environment will continue to encounter these causes of claims and disputes.
