The use of artificial intelligence and new technologies is accelerating industrialization and productivity in civil construction!
At the largest construction event in Latin America, International Construction Industry Meeting (ENIC), experts point to artificial intelligence (AI) and automation as the main drivers of the productive and industrial transformation of construction in Brazil.
Promoted by CBIC (Brazilian Chamber of the Construction Industry), the meeting took place until this Friday (11), at São Paulo Expo, in conjunction with the 29th edition of Feicon.
With the panel “Technology and productivity in the transition to industrialization”, ENIC reinforced how technological innovation is reshaping the way of building, reducing waste, optimizing processes and accelerating delivery times.
- Sanitation works in SP open vacancies with immediate start for construction professionals
- With R$100 million in investments, the City of Tubarão (SC) launches a program with works in daycare centers, schools, streets and health centers
- After 10 years of waiting, Planaltina shopping mall is approved and construction is scheduled to begin in July
- Uberaba receives R$150 million investment with new Skala industrial unit; project should generate 600 jobs in the cosmetics sector
The adoption of software intelligent, combined with more efficient construction methods, already shows significant results in the sector's productivity.
Automation and AI: paths to faster and more efficient construction
According to Marcos Galindo, representative of CBIC and PBQP-H, productivity is directly linked to the adoption of accessible technologies that are adaptable to the maturity stage of each company.
“Industrialization in civil construction is a clear goal. We need to reduce construction time and increase efficiency, respecting the different realities of each organization,” said Galindo.
Among the technologies highlighted is generative design, which uses AI to simulate various engineering and architectural solutions in real time, choosing the most efficient options.
The teacher Beda Barkokebas, from the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile, highlighted that these tools make it possible to optimize production areas and customize solutions based on advanced algorithms.
Lean construction and industrialization: the future is now
In international experience, the concept of lean construction — or lean construction — is increasingly gaining ground as a global trend.
For Ramon Pollnow, managing partner at Kata Offsite, the key to transformation lies in organizing processes and mechanization. “First, we structure the processes and then invest in equipment that eliminates waste and improves the work environment,” he explained.
In Brazil, industrialization is beginning to be integrated even into traditional methods, such as structural masonry. Rodrigo Fairbanks Von Uhlendorff, vice president of SindusCon-SP, highlighted solutions such as prefabricated hydraulic and electrical kits, single-layer facades and structural elements designed in BIM, which have been optimizing the construction of tall buildings, especially in urban centers such as São Paulo.
ENIC 100: commitment to a more sustainable and inclusive construction industry
The event also reinforced issues such as sustainability, diversity and social responsibility.
CBIC presented initiatives linked to the decarbonization of the sector and preparation for COP 30, through partnerships with SENAI and the Environment and Sustainability Commission (CMA).
With the support of big names such as Caixa Econômica Federal, Saint-Gobain, Sebrae and several entities in the sector, ENIC 100 reaffirmed that building with technology is also building with responsibility, equity and a vision of the future.
