AI streamlines operations at Peter Gross Construction company
Peter Gross Bau, a family-owned construction company with over 3000 employees and a construction output of 900 million euros last year, is making strides in the industry by integrating technology into its operations. Based in southwestern Germany, the company is deeply rooted in the region but operates nationwide.
One of the key areas where Peter Gross Bau is leveraging technology is in construction site monitoring, surveying, and 3D measurements, using drones. This innovation aids in billing and ensures precision in project execution. The company is also using AI in contract review, change management, and training employees in the use of software solutions.
In the realm of high-rise construction, Peter Gross Bau is using Building Information Modelling (BIM) extensively for planning and managing construction sites. BIM is particularly useful in calculation, automating quantity determination, and facilitating completeness checks. It also helps in automatic assignment to performance positions, improving quality, and avoiding conflicts.
The company is not stopping at BIM. AI is also being used in construction site management with lean management, semi-automatically generated scheduling, construction site monitoring in combination with drones, and construction equipment management. In the future, AI is likely to be used in building material management for demand determination.
AI is also being deployed in Peter Gross Bau's precast plant in St. Ingbert, with a focus on concrete production and production planning. The company is using Microsoft's AI agents, adapted to their needs, and also utilizes widespread systems like ChatGPT.
However, the construction industry faces challenges such as the shortage of skilled workers, bureaucracy, long approval processes, and volatile prices in the high-rise construction sector. These issues lead to long acquisition phases and high prices, especially for energy-intensive materials.
To address these challenges, Peter Gross Bau is implementing AI solutions to standardize processes, make them safer, and easier to manage. The company is also using a digital inventory management platform called MTA 360 in their machinery park, which includes digital delivery management, equipment tracking, and telematics.
In the high-rise construction sector, decision-making momentum is not yet where it would like to be, but the sector is slowly stabilizing and picking up again in the metropolitan region. Infrastructure construction, particularly railway and civil engineering with a focus on bridge construction, is currently looking very good.
Mr. Adomeit, the technical managing director of Peter Gross Bau, is responsible for the economic success of high-rise construction. He is also developing an AI-based inspection document classification for their fleet and machines. This innovation is expected to streamline operations and improve efficiency.
Peter Gross Bau aims to continue expanding and growing throughout Germany, focusing on a broad range of services to reduce dependence on economic cycles. The company's commitment to digitalization and AI is a testament to its forward-thinking approach and its dedication to delivering high-quality construction projects.
