The Key to Automation and Construction is AI
Construction, a global industry worth over $10 trillion annually.
Traditionally complex and repetitive processes can now be solved with greater agility and precision, thanks to the application of AI in construction.
An area with great potential for this is associated Construction planning and documentation.
A construction plan can take up to 3 months to create. With our AI solution for Construction planning, we've set out to reduce that to just 3 days.
We're doing this with a global leader: Sacyr, an IBEX 35 company with over €5.5 billion in revenue and a presence in 20+ countries, and with the support of Madrid Innovation Lab and Wayra (Telefónica).
Our solution is a system of AI agents capable of processing technical documentation and automatically generating a detailed work plan. What once required weeks of monotonous tasks, an engineer can now do in record time, supported by an invisible team of AI agents.
From 3 Months to 3 Days: Our AI for Construction
Imagine a team of engineers surrounded by mountains of blueprints and technical documents. For weeks, their mission is to read, transcribe, and organize data to create a work plan.
It's complex work, yes. But it's also very repetitive: review, copy, re-review, correct… an exhausting process that consumes hundreds of valuable hours from engineers.
Now imagine that same titanic work is done in an afternoon with just a few clicks.
The engineer receives 95% of the work already done and can focus on what really matters: adjusting and perfecting the plan based on their experience and judgment.
This is what we're developing with Sacyr, with our multi-agent AI system.
- Before: Months of manual work, hundreds of pages, repetitive tasks.
- Now: The AI reads, processes, and structures information, generating a plan draft ready to be validated and polished in just a few hours.
Planning is no longer a bottleneck; it becomes an accelerated process, a driver of competitive advantage.

Tangible Benefits of AI in Construction
The benefits are tangible and direct: going from months to just hours or days to generate a construction plan.
- Massive time savings: Hundreds of hours saved on repetitive manual tasks.
- Reduced human errors: The AI doesn't get tired or confused when reading hundreds of pages.
- Greater efficiency and control: More precise plans lead to better managed projects, with costs and deadlines under control.
- Real-time resource optimization: Faster and more accurate decisions.
Furthermore, this is just the first step. The applications of AI in construction are practically unlimited:
- Improving planning.
- Predicting deviations before they occur.
- Dynamically adjusting plans.
- Optimizing resources in real-time.
Incorporating AI into key processes not only solves current problems. It also prepares companies for the challenges of the future.
How the Solution Works
You don't need to be a technology expert to benefit.
The workflow is very simple:
- Input: You upload the project documentation (reports, blueprints, specifications, etc.) to our system.
- Analysis: The AI agents read each document, identifying tasks, dependencies, resources, and deadlines.
- Processing: With LangGraph and language models (LLMs), the AI connects all the dots. It's like solving a giant puzzle in minutes.
- Output: You get a structured work plan ready for validation.

This level of Automation and Construction doesn't seek to replace engineers; it empowers them. As Ethan Mollick points out in Co-Intelligence, the true strength of AI emerges when humans and machines work together: when AI doesn't seek to replace, but to empower.
In construction, this means giving professionals superpowers to solve complex problems simply and focus on what really matters.
The Technology Behind It: A System of Intelligent Agents
The magic of our solution does not reside in a single tool, but in the orchestration of several cutting-edge technologies working together.
The key is our multi-agent AI system: different agents communicate and collaborate to solve a complex problem.
Each agent specializes in a task. One analyzes materials and their specifications, another focuses on the building's structure, a third on preliminary work…. Like a team of specialized analysts, but with incomparable speed and scale.
To orchestrate this collaboration, we use LangGraph, a library that allows us to connect our agents in a sophisticated way, creating intelligent workflows. It's like the network of roads that ensures information flows correctly between them.
Finally, the understanding of human language and technical documentation is possible thanks to Large Language Models (LLMs). These advanced models are capable of reading, processing, and extracting the context from thousands of documents efficiently, making it possible for all the information to be structured coherently and usefully.
And most importantly: the solution is based on the deep knowledge of Sacyr's engineers, experts in Construction planning. Without their vision on processes, exceptions, and edge cases, none of this would be possible.
The Future of Construction: Transformation with AI
Construction is one of the largest industries… and one of the least digitized. That is changing.
According to the Construction Tech Landscape Report 2025 (Slate AI), the first implementations have already increased productivity by 15% and reduced rework by 60%. Deloitte also estimates that the application of AI and advanced data analytics could generate cost savings of 10–15% in construction projects.
The projected future impact is even greater.
The State of AI in Construction 2025 (Mastt) projects a 31% increase in productivity by 2030 thanks to smart digital solutions. In a market with tight margins and deadlines, that improvement is the difference between losing money or leading.
Yet inefficiencies remain a massive drain. Autodesk (2024) reports that construction teams lose around 20% of their working time just searching for the right data. On top of this, fragmented workflows and manual scheduling often lead projects to run over budget, while problems are addressed only once they’ve already become expensive.
And it's not just construction: PwC's Global AI Jobs Barometer 2025 shows that the most AI-exposed industries are already seeing 4x greater labor productivity than the rest. In addition, AI-related jobs offer a +56% salary, reflecting the demand for talent.
In case there were any doubts: according to StartUs Insights (2025), 92% of construction companies already use AI or plan to do so soon. The signal is clear: it's not a fad, it's the new industry standard.
The message is clear: AI in construction is already the new standard.
Beyond Construction: Applications in Other Sectors
The potential of our solution is not limited to construction. Any industry with repetitive processes and mountains of documents can benefit.
Our architecture is versatile: the same multi-agent AI system from Crata AI that today processes blueprints and technical reports, tomorrow can adapt to contracts, manuals or financial reports.
The key is to combine AI with the knowledge of human experts, as we are doing with Sacyr's engineers.
- Legal: Imagine a lawyer who must review 500 pages of contracts. With AI, instead of weeks, he gets a draft with highlighted clauses, deadlines and risks in hours. The result: less time on paperwork, more focus on case strategy.
- Manufacturing Industry: Validating product documentation or generating technical data sheets is usually a slow process and prone to errors. With AI, it is automated and standardized. In fact, we are already doing it in another project with a leading company in the industry, of which we will share details in the coming months.
- Financial Sector: Financial reports and credit applications become key data processed automatically. This accelerates decisions that previously took weeks to resolve.
In short: This solution is an engine of change applicable to multiple sectors. It reduces manual work, avoids errors and frees up professionals for what really matters: thinking, deciding and creating value.
