Miami-based Coastal Construction has won a national innovation award for its use of artificial intelligence (AI) on iconic projects in the city. The Associated General Contractors of America (AGC) presented the award to Coastal Construction during its annual convention in Las Vegas.

Coastal Construction, a leading construction management firm that has completed numerous high-profile projects in Miami, including the Faena Hotel, Brickell City Centre and the Frost Museum of Science, was recognized for its use of AI on these projects.

The company has implemented AI technology to improve project planning, reduce waste, and increase efficiency. By using machine learning algorithms, Coastal Construction is able to analyze large amounts of data to identify patterns and predict potential issues before they occur.

For example, on the Faena Hotel project, the company used AI to monitor worker productivity and identify areas where workers were experiencing fatigue or other issues that could lead to accidents. By identifying these issues early, the company was able to take corrective action and prevent accidents from occurring.

Coastal Construction has also used AI to optimize building design and reduce waste. By analyzing data on past projects and simulating different scenarios, the company is able to identify the most efficient building designs and construction methods, reducing the amount of waste generated during construction.

The AGC award is a recognition of Coastal Construction’s commitment to innovation and technology in the construction industry. By using AI, the company is able to deliver projects that are more efficient, sustainable and cost-effective.

Coastal Construction is not the only construction company using AI to improve project planning and management. As the construction industry becomes more digitized, companies are increasingly turning to AI and other technologies to streamline processes and reduce costs. This trend is expected to continue in the coming years as the industry adapts to new technologies and changing consumer demands.
