ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND BUILDING INFORMATION MODELING AS A TOOL FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF SAFETY AND SUSTAINABILITY OF GREEN CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS

Artificial intelligence (AI) is breaking through more and more into all sectors of the economy. A groundbreaking tool that can change several industries is still at the beginning of the journey and mass implementation, with questionable results. Sustainability and safety in the construction industry have been a priority for the last decades. Pursuing sustainable and safe implementation of construction projects brings several challenges regarding innovations and implementation in practice. This research solves the safety issue by reducing accidents and improving health and sustainability in the management of construction projects. Sustainability and green buildings are close to safety and a healthy environment, which can point to some correlations of the overall sustainable approach in the industry. The research aims to analyze digital tools such as artificial intelligence and information modelling of buildings and the possibilities of use and impacts on the safety and sustainability of construction projects. The research was based on data from a construction industry survey. Data processing uses statistical testing of the research sample and relevant methods. The results point to the possibilities and impacts of using AI and BIM on the safety and sustainability of construction projects.
