In this report we look at the impact of AI-enabled job automation on roles in the built environment using research from the World Economic Forum for the real estate and infrastructure industries.


We also summarise insights and ideas from our SDP Roundtable on how we could approach automation ethically, responsibly and sustainably by:


  • Adopting a human-centric approach in engaging and training employees and serving customers.

  • Taking a long-term growth orientation when considering AI automation opportunities rather than focusing on short-term cost reduction.

  • The importance of using generative AI tools for the tasks they are well suited to and exercising caution elsewhere.
