    Dinis Guarda's latest research book, "AI in Construction and Real Estate," serves as a comprehensive guide to the transformative power of artificial intelligence (AI) in the construction and real estate industries. The global real estate and infrastructure market, valued at $365.51 trillion in 2023, is projected to reach approximately $379.03 trillion in 2024.

    The book explores how AI-powered tools are redefining every facet of construction and real estate, from blockchain smart contracts and digital twins to predictive maintenance and risk mitigation. It covers the latest technological trends, including BIM (Building Information Modeling) and digital twins, and their impact on project planning, safety, and efficiency.

    According to the World Bank, the construction industry accounts for approximately 13% of global GDP, while the United Nations Environment Programme notes that the sector is responsible for 37% of energy-related CO2 emissions. The book addresses the challenges of AI adoption, reskilling, and training, as well as data security and ethical considerations.

    Dinis Guarda emphasizes that AI has the potential to revolutionize the construction industry by enhancing efficiency and accuracy in every stage of a project, from architecture and engineering to cost management. He highlights the importance of setting clear AI goals, building data infrastructure, selecting appropriate AI tools, addressing cybersecurity, and fostering collaboration between AI and industry experts.

    The book provides actionable steps for leaders to drive innovation, meet regulatory goals, and optimize performance across construction processes. It also features real-world case studies that illustrate AI's transformative power in the industries. The "AI in Construction and Real Estate" is a research and graphic publication that offers a balanced outlook on the future of AI in construction and real estate.

    The book will be launched at an event hosted by Lord David Evans of Watford, with keynote speakers Dinis Guarda, Louize Clark, and İlyas Oren.
