Julian Geiger, VP Head of AI Product and Transformation, Nemetschek Group, explores how AI in the AEC/O industry is shifting from isolated pilot projects to a portfolio-first approach that delivers measurable impact at scale. It explains why the real value of AI emerges when organizations treat their entire asset base as a connected system, enabling portfolio-level benchmarking, pattern detection, and strategic decision-making. The article also outlines what it takes to embed AI into everyday AEC/O workflows—from interoperable data environments to trustworthy, explainable outputs—so that AI becomes a reliable driver of long-term performance, resilience, and business value across all buildings and facilities.
