What this pillar is
Construction AI is decision support grounded in the project graph.
It reads project context — drawings, schedules, commitments, RFIs, daily reports — and helps each role ask better questions and review the right items first.
What it is not:It is not a general-purpose chatbot, not an autopilot, and not a guarantee of any outcome.
