AI in Construction: Revolutionising the Construction Industry Event in House of Lords, 22 November

"AI is reshaping almost every industry. Its integration into construction and engineering promises profound transformation - an industry where bidding and tendering, project planning, procurement, budgeting, regulatory compliance, data processing, precise cost estimation, safety, and risk management are crucial. The 'AI in Construction' event offers an exceptional opportunity for professionals to come together, learn from inspiring industry leaders, and connect. It's a chance to explore the innovative technologies that are shaping the future of construction and enhancing the ways we work and collaborate in this vital field", says The Honourable Richard John Evans, organiser of the event and Founder of AFFINITY.
