Novo Construction built a secure AI workflow to extract and validate COI data at 98% accuracy

Colin Stoner, the CIO at Novo Construction, highlights the journey of adopting AI within the construction industry, emphasizing the need for a strong digital foundation, curiosity, and patient leadership. Stoner's unconventional approach to AI adoption involved addressing employees' least favorite tasks, leading to their first AI success in automating the extraction and validation of certificate-of-insurance data, achieving 98% accuracy for 1,300 COIs in 30 days. Novo's two decades of digital groundwork, including cloud migration and custom management platforms, facilitated AI integration, allowing for imaginative uses like training staff with chatbots and drafting consistent RFIs. Stoner advocates for a careful, imaginative, and experimental approach to AI, reassuring that while construction remains a physical task, AI can enhance expertise and consistency, ultimately improving organizational confidence and readiness for future technological advancements.
