Engineer Walid Morsi, who is on the Engineering Consultations Committee at the Egyptian Businessmen Association and founded DCI PLUS, shared that AI technologies are no longer just a nice-to-have in design and planning. Instead, they've become a core strategy to help companies in architectural design, urban planning, and project management stay competitive. He explained that AI has completely changed how consulting firms work. We're no longer just relying on human experience; now, advanced data analysis systems help us understand what users need, quickly check if projects are financially viable, make the best use of land, and even suggest many different design options super fast. He highlighted that this shift lets real estate developers make much more accurate decisions based on real information. This, in turn, helps lower investment risks and makes projects better overall. Morsi also pointed out that bringing AI into the mix isn't just for design. It also brings direct financial benefits by cutting down on operating and maintenance costs, making energy use more efficient, and boosting environmental sustainability. He added that these technologies also help speed up how quickly projects get done and make the experience better for people living in new urban areas. This makes the real estate sector more appealing in both local and regional markets. He stressed that AI is now a key tool not just for developers, but also for government bodies, especially when they're working on big national projects and new cities. It helps ensure these projects meet global standards, making urban planning more efficient and guaranteeing that resources are used in the best possible way.
