Kaizen AI: A Value Optimization Platform for Construction Projects

Kaizen AI is a value optimization platform that aims to increase profitability and reduce environmental impact in construction projects. By analyzing building designs, Kaizen identifies areas where wastage can be reduced, resulting in cost savings and greater efficiency. The platform has been active for five and a half years and has successfully helped developers optimize their projects. For example, in a residential project in Mumbai, Kaizen was able to increase profitability by $55 million by reducing common areas and improving parking efficiency. In another project in Dubai, Kaizen eliminated all structural pillars, resulting in cost and time savings as well as reduced material usage. The environmental benefits of Kaizen's optimization approach include lower embodied carbon and reduced landfill waste.
