NITACO Launches Innovative AI Advisory Service for Construction Industry

With the ongoing challenges facing the construction industry, including labor shortages, strict overtime regulations, and cumbersome paperwork, NITACO, based in Shibuya, Tokyo, is addressing these pressing issues with a revolutionary approach. The company's new service, dubbed the "AI Advisory for Construction," is set to reduce overtime hours by 30% at an affordable cost of just 30,000 yen per month.

The Catalyst for Change

NITACO has identified that construction sites are often overwhelmed with non-core tasks, which disrupt productivity and efficiency. Traditionally, essential documents such as safety documentation, construction plans, estimates, and daily reports are handled manually, consuming valuable time and resources. By implementing their AI expertise, NITACO aims to transform this process and streamline operations for construction firms.

This innovative service is backed by NITACO's extensive experience in business process outsourcing (BPO) tailored specifically for the construction sector. They have garnered a wealth of operational insights and practical know-how for implementing AI solutions effectively on-site.

How It Works

The AI Advisory service offers several support options, which include:

• - Automated creation of construction plans, reports, and daily logs.
• - Generation of safety documents and construction system records effortlessly.
• - Drafting of estimates and providing supporting data in a fraction of the time.
• - AI-powered responses to initial customer inquiries.
• - Automatic breakdown of bidding requirements and proposal frameworks.

Estimated Outcomes

The impact of this service is anticipated to be substantial:

• - Automation of construction plans, reports, and logs can reduce creation time from 30-60 minutes to just 5-10 minutes.
• - Automating safety documents can cut the time taken for creation and collection in half, from half a day to 30-60 minutes.
• - Creating initial estimate drafts can go from 3-5 hours down to 30-45 minutes.
• - AI can respond to customer inquiries in under a minute, drastically improving responsiveness.
• - Breaking down bidding requirements and generating proposals can be reduced from 4-6 hours to just 60-90 minutes.

Comprehensive Support and Training

NITACO will ensure the successful implementation of AI solutions within companies by providing monthly workshops, focusing on a single theme to ensure lasting internal adoption.
Furthermore, training sessions will be held to promote understanding and effective use.
Accompanying this is a consistent support system throughout the implementation and operational processes, including the potential for small-scale system development as necessary.

Cost Transparency

The AI Advisory service is offered at a competitive rate of 30,000 yen per month (excluding tax), with NITACO promising no charges unless measurable results are achieved.

Implementation Process

To get started, NITACO will conduct:
1. An on-site AI diagnosis, assessing current tasks and identifying challenges.
2. Proposals for operational improvements focusing on essential documents.
3. Internal training sessions to cultivate knowledge.
4. Continuous measurement, improvements, and case studies to showcase success stories.

Future Aspirations

Looking ahead, NITACO aims to further enhance its service offerings and provide superior support for construction companies. By merging AI utilization with the ongoing BPO operations, they seek to drive a digital transformation (DX) without disrupting daily operations at construction sites.
