One of the greatest challenges construction teams face is tracking compliance. They must operate based on relevant regulatory requirements, building codes, safety standards, and company policies. Often, this encompasses work contracts, permits, various submittals to ensure compliance, and safety management reports. To address these problems, automated compliance checks step in.
In this blog, you'll learn how automated compliance checks improve accuracy, speed up approvals, and simplify everything with AI-powered construction management software.
Why are manual compliance checks challenging to manage in construction?
Ensuring every document meets legal requirements is not easy. Construction teams face several challenges, including:
- Complex and lengthy documents: Contracts contain legal terms that require careful review.
- Frequent regulation updates: Laws change regularly, making it hard to track new requirements.
- Human errors in manual reviews: Missing a single clause can lead to compliance failures.
- Scattered documentation: Important records are often spread across multiple platforms.
- Slow approval processes: Manual verification takes time and causes project delays.
How does AI simplify and automate compliance checks in construction?
Construction teams must conduct compliance checks to avoid possible errors and project delays. AI-powered construction management software simplifies the process by automating document verification and risk detection.
1. Detecting missing clauses and outdated regulations
AI scans permits, contracts, and safety reports to ensure that the required clauses are present and up to date. InnDoc AI also automatically scans construction documents for missing clauses and outdated laws, reducing the need for manual review and compliance with the most recent laws.
2. Identifying compliance risks early
AI offers risk scores for construction documents according to legal and regulatory factors, helping construction teams identify compliance problems at an early stage. InnDoc AI identifies potential compliance risks and generates risk scores for every document, which can help teams resolve issues even before they contribute to delays or legal problems.
3. Comparing different versions of compliance documents
Regulations often change, and tracking updated documents is difficult. AI indicates differences between document versions, making updates compliant with standards. InnDoc AI compares multiple document versions to identify changes and ensure compliance with amended regulations, keeping teams on the same page.
4. Speeding up approvals and audits
Manual compliance checks take time and lead to approval delays. AI automatically checks, and construction teams can review contracts and safety reports in seconds. InnDoc AI is embedded with DocuSign and Adobe Sign to provide automated approvals, accelerating the review process and improving compliance quickly.
5. Reducing administrative work
Manual checks for compliance are time-consuming and prone to human error. AI significantly reduces administrative effort by automating the most critical aspects of the document management process. InnDoc AI simplifies metadata processing, document categorization, and compliance checks, saving time and minimizing errors.
