Application of Artificial Intelligence in the Smartification of the Construction Industry (Engineering, Design, and Building Facade Execution Companies)
Keywords:
Artificial Intelligence, Smartification, Construction Industry, Engineering Design CompaniesAbstract
Given the rapid advancements in AI, it is expected that its role in the smartification of buildings will continue to expand and bring more benefits. Therefore, this study focuses on examining the application of artificial intelligence in the smartification of the construction industry, particularly in engineering, design, and building facade execution companies. The statistical population of this study comprises all managers in engineering, design, and building facade construction companies, with 150 individuals randomly selected based on Cochran's formula. A researcher-developed questionnaire consisting of 40 questions relevant to the topic was used as the data collection tool. The collected data were assessed and evaluated using SPSS software, LISREL, and the structural equation modeling method (PLS). The results indicate a positive and significant role of artificial intelligence in the smartification of the industry. Furthermore, the results identify eight factors—performance indicators, safety and supervision indicators, challenge and obstacle indicators, management and interactive indicators, educational and developmental indicators, technical indicators, legal and regulatory indicators, and financial and economic indicators—as significant in demonstrating the application of artificial intelligence in the smartification of the construction industry, with their significant effects also confirmed.
