The construction industry, known for its high-risk environments and complex project management challenges, stands to benefit significantly from advanced technology solutions. Darsa AI’s cutting-edge computer vision technology offers a transformative approach to addressing critical issues of safety, productivity, and resource management in construction sites.
The construction industry faces several pressing challenges
Material Waste
- The construction industry generates about 569 million tons of waste annually in the U.S. alone.
- Material waste typically accounts for 10-15% of project costs.
Labor Productivity
- Construction productivity has only grown 1% annually over the past 20 years, compared to 3.6% for the global economy.
- This lag in productivity costs the global economy $1.6 trillion annually.
Project Delays and Cost Overruns
- According to McKinsey, large construction projects typically take 20% longer to finish than scheduled and are up to 80% over budget.
- These delays and overruns cost the U.S. economy over $100 billion annually.
Equipment Utilization
- Construction equipment often operates at only 30-40% efficiency.
- Poor equipment management leads to unnecessary rental costs and project delays.
Workplace Safety
- Construction accounts for about 20% of all worker fatalities in private industry.
- In 2019, there were 1,061 fatalities in construction, equating to 9.7 deaths per 100,000 full-time equivalent workers.
- The total cost of construction injuries in the U.S. is estimated at over $11.5 billion annually.
