Construction Digitalisation with Artificial Intelligence – Engineering-Led AI for Design Analysis, Compliance Verification, and Reality-Driven Construction Control

Technical Seminar:

Construction Digitalisation with Artificial Intelligence – Engineering-Led AI for Design Analysis, Compliance Verification, and Reality-Driven Construction Control

Date/Time:     28 January 2026 (Wednesday), 18:00-20:00

Venue: Chan Yat Mei Sophie Room, 9th Floor, Island Beverley, No 1 Great George Street, Causeway Bay

Organised by:

HKIE Civil Division

As construction projects become increasingly complex, engineers are required to manage large volumes of design data, construction records, and site information throughout the project lifecycle. Traditional manual checking and site inspection methods are often time-consuming, subjective, and difficult to scale, leading to inefficiencies in design verification, compliance control, and construction quality management.

This presentation introduces an engineering-led approach to construction digitalisation using artificial intelligence (AI). It covers the application of AI in analysing and validating BIM data, performing automated design and specification checks, and integrating reality capture technologies to verify construction works against approved engineering models. The presentation will outline a structured digital workflow, including data preparation, AI-assisted analysis, design and compliance verification, site reality comparison, quality control, and continuous monitoring during construction. Real engineering project case studies will be presented to demonstrate how AI can support engineering judgement, improve reliability, and enhance decision-making in construction projects.
