Dotlog Co. launched the custom AI development service 'KENSETSU AI LAB' for the construction and equipment industries on July 8, 2026. The service automates drawing extraction, cost estimation, internal document searching, and order transcription by tailoring AI systems to each company's data. The company also began accepting applications for a free, rapid demo development program. The service addresses labor shortages and skills transfer issues exacerbated by the 2024 overtime limit and aging workforce.
The construction industry's reliance on veteran experience makes it a prime candidate for custom AI, but off-the-shelf tools often fail to adapt to company-specific formats. Dotlog's KENSETSU AI LAB, launched July 8, builds dedicated systems for drawing extraction, cost estimation, and internal document search, with a free demo development program to ease adoption. The company, led by a representative from a construction family in Osaka, has prior experience with AI for public works cost estimation. The service targets the 2024 overtime limit and the aging workforce, where 36% of workers are 55 or older and only 12% are under 30.
