Chennai builders turn to AI for cost control

CHENNAI :Chennai’s developers are turning to artificial intelligence to keep projects on schedule and costs under control, as the city sees a surge in large housing and commercial developments. Developers are beginning to use AI tools to predict bottlenecks, reduce construction errors and speed up delivery.

US-based Slate Technologies has entered the Chennai market, bringing an AI-led construction platform that tracks projects in real time and flags problems before they escalate. The company has already signed up DRA Homes and Casagrand and is looking at working with other developers.
