AI-Powered Quality Control: Eliminating Errors Before They Multiply

Use AI to enhance defect detection, automate snagging, and drive higher quality in construction projects. Designed for QA/QC professionals aiming to modernize their inspection process.

Course Description:

This 2-day course is tailored for QA/QC teams, engineers, and site auditors looking to integrate AI tools into their inspection routines, reporting workflows, and compliance management systems.


Through real-world use cases, live tool demonstrations, and hands-on exercises, participants will learn how computer vision, anomaly detection, and AI-assisted documentation are being used to reduce errors, automate snagging, and uphold construction quality at scale. Without requiring programming expertise, this course offers a compelling path for quality teams to work smarter—and lays the groundwork for deeper integration down the line.

Who Should Attend:

  • QA/QC Inspectors
  • Construction Engineers
  • Site Managers involved in handover and inspections
  • Quality Assurance Officers
  • Compliance and Risk Auditors in construction projects

Course Objectives:

Knowledge Acquisition:

  • Understand the fundamentals of AI in construction quality control
  • Learn about computer vision, defect classification, and anomaly detection
  • Gain insight into AI-supported inspection tools (mobile, camera-based, drone-enabled)
  • Review global case studies of AI in precast, MEP, structural, and finishing quality checks

Skills Development:

  • Conduct inspections using AI-powered checklists and visual tagging apps
  • Identify defects from photo and video feeds using AI analysis
  • Improve documentation accuracy and compliance tracking
  • Automate repetitive quality reporting tasks
  • Evaluate platforms for AI-based snagging and punch list management

Practical Application:

  • Use mobile apps to capture and classify on-site quality issues
  • Automate defect reports with annotated images and status tags
  • Perform comparative AI reviews against project specs
  • Design a simplified AI-assisted QA workflow for immediate implementation
  • Analyze risk zones and recurring defects using sample dashboards

What will I Learn From it:

  • Reduce rework costs by identifying issues earlier and faster
  • Automate punchlists and reduce human oversight in defect documentation
  • Boost compliance and audit readiness using AI-generated logs
  • Increase QA/QC team productivity through smart inspections
  • Build a digital QA process that scales with your projects
