Construction AI Launches First AI-Native Project Management Platform for UK Construction SMEs, to address £170bn Industry’s Technology Gap

In this episode of Global Economic Press, Alex Brady discusses a significant advancement in the UK construction industry with the launch of Construction AI's first AI-native project management platform. This platform is specifically designed for small and medium-sized enterprises in the construction sector, aiming to bridge the technology gap in a £170 billion industry. The platform, developed by Steve McKenna, a Chartered Builder with 30 years of industry experience, is a production-grade, multi-tenant Software as a Service application. It includes over 700,000 lines of code and more than 60 AI-powered tools, offering capabilities such as semantic search, AI-generated Risk Assessment and Method Statements, and intelligent tender analysis. The podcast highlights the challenges faced by smaller construction firms, which often rely on outdated methods like spreadsheets and paper filing systems due to the high cost of enterprise project management platforms. Construction AI addresses this issue by offering an AI-native application where intelligence is embedded into every workflow, providing fast, precise, and contextually aware search capabilities. The platform's development story is equally groundbreaking, as it was created through a collaboration between a domain expert and AI, eliminating the traditional software development cycle.
