AI in construction management

Let AI do the paperwork, so you can run the project

Most of an information manager's week goes on writing plans nobody reads, retyping requirements and chasing who owes what. In Plannerly, AI drafts the documents and reads the spreadsheets, and automation checks the models and sends the reminders.

Where AI and automation help

Five jobs you can stop doing by hand

Turn the EIR into a BEP

Copying last job's BEP and swapping the name fools nobody. Bring the client's EIR in, start from the ISO 19650 template, and AI drafts each answer from the requirement it responds to. You check and agree it.

AIBEP

Write any document from a title

Blank pages are slow. Start with AI drafts an outline or a full first version from a title and description, and Write my section, Correct, Expand, Simplify and Summarize do the rest.

AIDocs

Read the requirements spreadsheet for you

Retyping a requirements spreadsheet into the scope takes days. AI Import reads the file and builds the scope from it, and you check the preview before anything is created.

AIScope

Check every model, every time

Not AI, just rules that never get tired: set the information requirements once and every linked model version is checked against them automatically, with the charts updating as it goes.

AutomationVerify

Stop being the reminder system

Every task has an owner and a date, and Plannerly sends the reminders: 7 days before a start, 3 days before a deadline and when it's overdue. You can adjust them.

Surviving ISO 19650 Information Requirements with AI

Build it. Connect it. Just ask Javis. Most owners aren't sure what to ask for, and requirements copied from the last job create work nobody needs. Three ways into your project's information requirements - build on the Plannerly API, connect your own AI with Plannerly MCP, or just ask Javis - on one structure your supply chain can check against.

Frequently asked

Questions people ask about AI in construction management

What is AI in construction management?
It's software that takes on the reading and writing that fill a project manager's or information manager's week: drafting plans and documents, and pulling requirements out of spreadsheets. Its partner is automation, which checks models against what was asked for and keeps track of who owes what. The judgement - what the project needs and who agrees to it - stays with you. See the AI writing tools for BIM documents.
Will AI replace BIM managers or information managers?
No. It replaces the copy-and-paste parts of the job. Someone still has to decide what information the project needs, agree it with every team and stand behind it at an audit. AI gives you a first draft; you make the calls. Here's why projects still need a BIM manager.
Where should I start?
With the job that eats the most hours. For most teams that's the BEP or the information requirements. Start free, open the ISO 19650 BEP template and let AI draft the first version - then compare it with the last one you wrote by hand. The free lesson Using AI to create documents shows how.
Does it follow ISO 19650?
Yes. The templates, the plan structure and the checks are built around ISO 19650, so what AI drafts lands in the right place: appointing party requirements, the BEP, the MIDP and TIDPs, and the checks on every information exchange. New to the standard? Read what ISO 19650 is, or the standard itself, ISO 19650-2.
Does AI check the models?
No, and you wouldn't want it to guess. Model checking in Plannerly is rule-based: every linked model version is checked automatically against the requirements you set, and the charts update by themselves. You can also export the requirements as an IDS file for other checkers. Clash detection isn't part of Verify yet, so keep your coordination tool for that. See how model checking with IDS works.
Is automation the same as AI?
Not quite. Automation runs the rules you set - check this property on every model, remind this team before this date. AI helps write and read - drafting a section, reading a spreadsheet. Good construction management uses both: AI to get to a first draft fast, automation to make sure it's followed. More on automation in construction management.
