Hoban Construction said it is partnering with global AI company Upstage to build an AI platform that integrates data generated across the construction process.
The company said it signed a memorandum of understanding with Upstage on April 23 at its headquarters in Seoul’s Seocho-gu to pursue development of an “integrated AI agent platform.”
Hoban Construction said the platform will consolidate and manage data produced in design, construction, quality and safety. It plans to apply AI to areas such as document drafting and management, data analysis and reporting systems to improve efficiency.
Under the agreement, Hoban Construction will oversee platform development, provide data and work processes, and run pilot projects. The company said it aims to build an intelligent workflow system based on field-centered data to deliver practical productivity gains.
Upstage will develop and supply AI models based on its in-house large language model, Solar. The company said it will advance industry-tailored AI through document-processing technology, fine-tuning models for construction and real estate, and design drawing analysis.
Hoban Construction said it will first validate the platform in day-to-day operations, then expand it across Hoban Group. It plans to use accumulated data operations experience and AI use cases as shared group assets to strengthen digital transformation capabilities.
A Hoban Construction official said the company will “organically connect data and work processes around the integrated AI agent platform to drive real workplace innovation and productivity gains,” and will expand “a proven AI utilization system” across the group to keep strengthening its AI transition foundation.
