Revolutionizing Housing: AI in Construction

The implementation of solutions like BIM is changing the way we plan and execute projects. According to Villegas, AI analyzes patterns of material usage, predicts risks, and optimizes designs in real time, making the execution of works more efficient.

"Companies that do not adopt these technologies will be left behind, because the market and large-scale projects demand greater precision, lower costs, and faster delivery times," he points out.

The challenge for the government will be to integrate these innovations into the planning and construction of housing, ensuring that technological tools become strategic allies to achieve the goal without incurring cost overruns or delays, the expert noted.

Today, technology allows us to detect problems before they occur, optimize resources, and improve coordination among teams, which translates to fewer delays and lower costs," he explains.

BIM allows the creation of three-dimensional models with real-time data, facilitating decision-making and avoiding design conflicts that could generate cost overruns or material waste.

In a project of the magnitude of building a million homes, these tools can make the difference between meeting the target or facing delays. In addition, Artificial Intelligence plays an increasingly relevant role.

The government of Claudia Sheinbaum has announced a significant plan to build a million homes in the country, prioritizing single mothers, young people, the elderly, and indigenous populations. This effort aims to reduce housing backlog and guarantee the right to decent housing.

However, meeting the goal in a timely manner will depend not only on investment and planning but also on the adoption of technological tools that optimize processes and reduce costs.

Industry experts point out that the use of Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) will be key to accelerating the production of housing without compromising quality or efficiency. Gonzalo Villegas Chavarría, a specialist in technology applied to construction and leader of 17.02 Studio, emphasizes that the sector is undergoing an unprecedented digital transformation.
