Artificial intelligence is beginning to transform one of Europe's least digitalized industries: construction. From AI-powered scaffolding planning to smart glasses and autonomous construction-site monitoring, startups are developing new tools aimed at improving productivity, reducing costs and tackling labor shortages in the construction sector.

While adoption remains in the early stages, industry experts see significant potential for digital construction technologies to reshape project planning, maintenance and site management. As pressure grows to build faster and more efficiently, the race to modernize the construction industry is accelerating.
