PlanRadar Launches AI Agents for Construction and Real Estate Projects

DUBAI, UAE: PlanRadar, a platform for 360° digital documentation, communication and reporting across construction, facility management and real estate projects, has announced the launch of PlanRadar AI Agents, a new capability designed to automate routine project follow-up and complete actions as soon as they are triggered.

The company said the new AI Agents are designed to address what it describes as the “follow-up gap” in projects, giving teams more time while allowing follow-up activities to scale without additional headcount.

Construction, real estate and facility management projects can involve hundreds of individual actions required to keep work progressing. PlanRadar said that, once triggered, its AI Agents can complete designated actions automatically without requiring an additional approval step, allowing results to be delivered when they are needed.

Automating Project Workflows

PlanRadar customers can create their own AI Agents using natural language prompts to automate workflows or select from a collection of ready-made agents provided by the company.

One example is the Response agent, which can read an incoming request for information (RFI), search project documents and prepare a response that identifies the exact source used. According to PlanRadar, this can reduce the time required for a first response from hours to minutes.

Every action performed by an agent is logged and attributed, while customers can test how an agent will operate before deploying it. PlanRadar also offers support through its Forward Deployed Engineers, who work with customers to identify and build AI Agent use cases relevant to their operations.

Ibrahim Imam, PlanRadar Group Co-CEO, comments: “Our customers want the routine work on a project to take care of itself, without giving up any control over what happens, and that is exactly what PlanRadar AI Agents deliver. Our agents catch what could otherwise slip through and turn into rework, so project teams can focus on the judgement calls only people can make. For PlanRadar customers, this shift means agents that get on with the work as it happens.”

AI Built Around Existing Project Data

The AI Agents operate using existing project data within PlanRadar. Each agent is checked against the access permissions of its creator every time it runs, meaning its actions cannot extend beyond what the person who created it is authorised to do.

Clemens Hammerl, Chief Product Officer at PlanRadar, adds: “Customers do not want another system to log into or another workspace to manage. They want more of their jobs completed from just one location. PlanRadar AI Agents run on existing project data, with each agent checked against its creator's own access every time it runs, so nothing it does goes further than the person who built it could. Building an AI Agent is like briefing a new teammate, easy to describe in your own words, and ready to act every time you need it.

“Every agent is built on that same principle, real autonomy matched with real control.”

The launch adds another layer to PlanRadar's existing document management, reporting and integration capabilities, with the platform designed to connect project processes within one environment.

According to the company, general contractors, specialty contractors and project managers typically manage the largest volumes of issues and inspections and therefore stand to benefit significantly as more of this work becomes automated.

Security and Wider AI Roadmap

PlanRadar said the AI Agents are built directly into its platform and operate within its existing ISO-certified security and data-protection standards, with no changes to how project information is stored or processed.

PlanRadar AI Agents are available across all PlanRadar plans as part of the platform's AI features. The company said the initial release represents the beginning of a broader roadmap, with future versions expected to expand the actions agents can perform and the systems with which they can connect.

PlanRadar is used by more than 200,000 professionals across over 75 markets and is available in more than 25 languages. Headquartered in Vienna, Austria, the company has 13 offices globally.
