ConTechLabs explores AI-native construction software and agent workflows for architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) teams. I run it as a venture under RMG Associates. The scope runs from the first feasibility question to the building in operation.
Ask how many AEC firms use AI and the answer depends on what counts as use. One survey counts a chatbot that cleans up an email. Another counts only AI built into a project workflow. Both numbers are real. They measure different things. This piece looks at where AI shows up across the building lifecycle, what recent surveys say, what is working, what is not, and where it seems to be going.
