AI in construction

AI agents in construction explained

An AI agent in construction is software that takes a goal, works through the steps on your own project documents, and hands back finished work for a person to approve, unlike a chatbot, which only answers questions. Agents apply to document-heavy tasks like reading specs, producing a takeoff, drafting an RFI, or assembling a report. The agent does the legwork while a human keeps judgment and sign-off at every step.

AI construction scheduling and lookaheads

AI construction scheduling tools read your CPM schedule, RFI log, change order log, and field reports to draft lookaheads, test sequencing options, and flag activities at risk before they slip. The AI does the assembly and surfaces conflicts; the planner keeps the logic, the means and methods, and the sign-off. Ruh runs in your own tenant on your own documents and returns drafts your team reviews.
