How is artificial intelligence transforming the construction industry?
This is the question explored in the ZDF WISO report “The Future of Construction with AI”. Lumoview is featured as a real-world example of how AI-powered processes can support the digital capture and modelling of existing buildings.
The construction industry is facing major challenges. Buildings need to be renovated for greater energy efficiency—faster, more effectively and at scale. At the same time, many existing buildings lack accurate and up-to-date information. Floor plans are incomplete, drawings are outdated, and important building data is often available only in analogue form.
Digital technologies and artificial intelligence can help close this information gap and accelerate processes from the initial building survey through to renovation planning.
From physical spaces to digital building data
In the report, Thomas, Civil Engineer at Lumoview, and Hendrik, Head of Operations, provide insights into our work. They demonstrate how existing buildings are digitally captured using the Lumoview system and how the collected information is then processed automatically.
AI-powered processes transform data from physical spaces into structured digital building models. These models provide a reliable foundation for subsequent applications, including energy consulting, renovation planning and the management of larger real estate portfolios.
Lumoview replaces time-consuming manual surveys and fragmented workflows with a seamless digital process—from capturing the building and creating the model to delivering actionable building data.
Connecting digital building capture with renovation planning
The report also shows that this data is more than just a digital representation of a building. It creates tangible value in real-world projects.
The feature presents an existing building whose renovation is being planned and implemented based on the digital data foundation provided by Lumoview. The captured and processed building information can be used directly in the subsequent analysis and planning stages.
This demonstrates how digital building capture and renovation planning work together. An accurate and structured data foundation reduces uncertainty, supports collaboration between all parties involved and enables more efficient planning processes.
AI as a tool for a more productive construction industry
Alongside Lumoview, “WISO prompt” visits other companies in the construction industry and explores where artificial intelligence is already being used. Two experts place the examples in the wider context of developments across the sector.
The report looks beyond the current state of AI adoption. It also asks where untapped potential remains and which future developments could help make construction and renovation faster and more productive.
At Lumoview, we believe that access to better data on existing buildings is one of the most important levers. Digital and AI-powered applications can only realise their full potential when they are built on a reliable data foundation.
