Healthcare systems that pair artificial intelligence with skilled construction teams can unlock shorter schedules, earlier delivery of beds and services and accelerated revenue to sustain operations to fuel future growth, according to the latest Healthcare Insights report from DPR Construction. The report notes several ways teams effectively leveraging AI are delivering value in new ways in healthcare construction, including:
More efficient scheduling – AI can transform scheduling from a tedious task into a proactive strategy. AI platforms can simulate dozens of build sequences in hours, spotting bottlenecks, sequencing around active patient areas and adapting in real-time. This also enables better coordination with facilities staff and smarter disruption planning.
Unlocking more BIM benefits – Visual analytics platforms can compare site conditions to Building Information Models nearly in real-time. These types of systems can identify anomalies as they happen, for things like MEP runs before ceiling closure. As a result, field teams have more time to act, avoiding costly rework and weeks of potential cascading delays.
Accelerated validation – MEP teams can use intelligent scanning tools to validate rough-in work in a matter of hours, instead of days. This helps minimize rework and maximize efficiency. Additionally, it frees skilled labor for installations, accelerating inspections and keeping critical milestones on track.
