Market signals

THE INDUSTRY IS MOVING

Caterpillar

In-cab embedded AI assistant

The construction equipment giant is building an AI assistant integrated directly into cabs. Driving assistance, predictive maintenance, real-time optimisation.

Nvidia

IGX Thor — physical AI on construction sites

Nvidia launches IGX Thor: an embedded AI platform for industrial environments. Computer vision, digital twins, augmented safety.

Autodesk / Equipment Journal

First autonomous construction sites

Piling, grading, trenching: the first sites with no human intervention are already underway in 2026. Automation is no longer science fiction.

The giants are investing heavily. The companies that move now will gain a decisive advantage.

Tipping point

2026: THE YEAR AI BECOMES THE NORM

Several signals are converging. The window to gain a lead is closing.

500K

workers are missing in construction (BTP) in 2026. AI is no longer a luxury — it's an answer to the shortage.

Associated Builders & Contractors
25+

international experts (including Autodesk) confirm that 2026 is the "baseline" year — AI moves from trend to standard.

Autodesk / NAWIC
78%

of construction (BTP) organisations are still non-adopters or in the pilot phase. The window to gain a lead is closing.

Precedence Research
10%

of French companies with 10+ employees use AI, versus 28% in Denmark. France's lag is an advantage for first movers.

Frequently asked questions

AI × CONSTRUCTION (BTP): YOUR QUESTIONS, OUR FIELD ANSWERS

No theory. Answers drawn from our audits, with real figures.

AI steps in wherever information flows poorly across your organisation. At Codito, we use an analytical framework called the Trinity of Information: every piece of data has a nature (Information), a place where it lives (Support) and a path it travels along (Flow). Friction is created in the transfers from one support to another — and that is exactly where AI generates value. A concrete example: at a civil-engineering group of 60 employees with €15M in revenue, our audit identified 14 points of friction in information flows, representing €109,774/yr in losses. AI replaces no one — it smooths out what gets stuck.Discover our AI audit methodology →
Here are three cases taken straight from our field audits: (1) Voice input for site reports — a site manager loses 183 hrs/yr going back to the depot to enter their report on a fixed-workstation software. We designed a mobile app with voice AI: they dictate, the AI transcribes and structures it, validation in 30 seconds. Cost: €4,000 excl. VAT, gain: 73 hrs/yr of on-site productivity per site manager. (2) Smart email sorting — 880 hrs/yr recoverable across 3 roles by automating the categorisation and forwarding of invoices. (3) Automating overdue-payment reminders — €1.2M to €1.5M in cash locked up, with intelligent reminder sequences and progressive escalation.
We're transparent about our pricing — it's in our DNA. Four packages: Express at €2,000 excl. VAT (2 people interviewed, quick diagnosis), Focus at €5,000 excl. VAT (5 people interviewed, ideal if you already know where the friction is), Essentiel at €7,500 excl. VAT (10 people interviewed, the recommended one for a construction (BTP) SME), Max at €10,000 excl. VAT (15 people interviewed, for mid-caps). Duration: 4 weeks, 100% remote. Deliverable: a strategic document with flow mapping, quantified frictions, compared scenarios and triple ROI (economic, operational, strategic). At our latest construction (BTP) client, we identified 3 investment scenarios ranging from €9,600 to €50,800, for annual gains of €58K to €97K.Learn more about the AI audit →
This is the number-one objection we hear during audits. A civil-engineering group CEO told us: "I don't see how AI can help a site manager write reports." The paradox: the site manager we interviewed was enthusiastic and felt AI "could be far more precise." The reality: AI replaces no one in construction (BTP). It removes the tasks no one wants to do — double entry, back-and-forth trips to the depot to fill in a form, manual reminders. The site manager stays on site, with their teams, tracking quality. As one interviewed site manager put it: "It's not time we spend with our teams on site tracking quality."
The journey is simple: a 30-minute strategy call (free, no commitment) to understand your challenges. Then a 4-week AI audit, 100% remote, with interviews of your field teams. The deliverable gives you the answers: what to do, in what order, at what cost, on what timeline, for what return. We're not tech salespeople: the audit is a decision-making tool, not a disguised quote. You walk away with a clear, quantified vision — then you decide.Book →
No. Our audit revealed that a construction (BTP) dispatcher spent 3 hrs/day managing the scheduling of 16 sites via WhatsApp in free text — incomplete information, unspecified truck-usage durations, zero analytical data. The result: around €100,000/yr in avoidable equipment rentals. WhatsApp is handy for communicating, but it isn't a management tool. Without structured data, it's impossible to optimise, analyse or make informed decisions.

<10% of construction (BTP) companies use AI.

The remaining 90% will follow.
