Bluebeam Survey Finds 28% of US AEC Firms Running AI in Production
A vendor-commissioned survey found limited AI adoption across US AEC firms, with integration into existing systems cited as the top success factor.
Bluebeam has published its AEC Technology Outlook Report 2027, a vendor-commissioned study conducted by Hanover Research covering architecture, engineering and construction firms in the United States. The report, released on 13 October and widely covered in industry media in early November, examines technology adoption, investment priorities, and barriers across the AEC sector.
According to the survey, 28% of US AEC firms run AI in production, while 7% have AI embedded across workflows. The factor most frequently cited as distinguishing successful adopters was integration with existing systems, at 47%, ahead of price. Respondents also pointed to unclear return on investment and skills gaps as persistent barriers to wider deployment. As a vendor-commissioned study, the findings reflect the sponsor's market focus and should be read as directional rather than definitive.
