This study explores how AI tools solutions are being gradually introduced into project management within the construction sector in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. As businesses are under increasing pressure to meet shorter delivery times, cost control, quality preservation, and better communication with stakeholders, there is already a tendency to embrace new technologies. Saudi Vision 2030 even stimulated this trend by paying more attention to the function of modernization and digital transformation, in particular, infrastructure-based sectors.
The research focuses on how certain artificial intelligence tools, contribute to improving core project objectives. These include staying on schedule, keeping expenses within planned limits, ensuring the quality of work, and enhancing communication with parties involved. The methodology involved collecting input from (149) individuals working in the construction field—ranging from engineers to project leaders—using a structured questionnaire. Statistical evaluation was carried out using SPSS to identify links between the use of these tools and the effectiveness of project outcomes. While better monitoring of progress, earlier detection of risk, and coordination with the stakeholders have been observed, challenges remained, nonetheless. Resistance to change, inexperience with the computer, and compatibility with currently implemented systems were also among the significant challenges that were present. In summary, the research concludes that, to the extent that there is promise in computer research, more widespread use will only follow with planning strategies as well as the elimination of current limitations.
