Samsung C&T Engineering & Construction (E&C) Group has announced a major transformation initiative to evolve into an “AI Native” construction company, where every work process and decision is supported by AI-powered intelligence.
Building the Future with Intelligence
On November 11, the Group held the 2025 AI Day event at its headquarters in Gangdong-gu, Seoul, under the theme “Build the Future with Intelligence.” The event was designed to share global AI trends, present the latest project results, and outline the company’s AI-driven innovation strategy for the years ahead.
More than 400 people attended the event, including President and CEO Se-chul Oh, senior leadership, AI specialists across the organization, and partners from Amazon Web Services (AWS). Yoonsik Kim, Enterprise Lead at AWS Korea, also joined the event to highlight the progress of the joint AI development initiatives.
In his welcome remarks, President Oh emphasized the growing importance of AI in large and complex construction projects and encouraged employees to recognize AI as a strategic partner. He highlighted the company’s accumulated experience from global megaprojects and its potential to transform this knowledge into next-generation AI capabilities.
Introducing Three AI Agents Co-Developed with AWS
In the keynote address, Byungsik So, Executive Vice President and Head of ENG Innovation, outlined the current state of AI development, the gap between personal AI use and low adoption in professional workflows, and the strategic opportunities this gap presents.
He identified three core pillars of AI innovation at Samsung C&T:
- Knowledge accumulation: Developing AI based on the Group’s unique data, insights, and expertise
- Active intelligence: Moving beyond passive responses to AI that asks questions and makes proactive suggestions
- Shift in perspective: Evaluating AI not by external benchmarks but by its ability to solve Samsung C&T’s business challenges
The Data Operations Group then presented three AI agent projects co-developed with AWS, showcasing their capabilities through live demonstrations:
- AI-ITB Reviewer: Automatically analyzes large volumes of bid documents to identify potential risks quickly
- AI-Contract Manager: Supports legal and contractual decision-making by detecting risk factors and providing specialized guidance
- AI-Project Expert (AIPEX): Integrates and analyzes scattered on-site data to uncover hidden insights and support project management
AWS Enterprise Lead Yoonsik Kim praised these developments, noting that leading global companies are no longer focused solely on AI performance itself but on how AI is integrated with their internal data, workflows, and security systems. He described Samsung C&T’s three AI agent projects as model examples of effective AI adoption.
A Roadmap Toward becoming an AI Native Construction Company
During the event, Samsung C&T also presented its roadmap for evolving into a fully AI Native company. Beginning next year, the Group plans to apply AI-ITB Reviewer and other AI agents across all new construction projects. Over the next three years, the company will implement a phased approach to AI transformation with the goal of enabling AI-centered intelligent workflows across the entire construction value chain by 2028.
A Samsung C&T representative stated that the event served as an important opportunity to share a unified vision for how AI will redefine the construction industry and to reinforce the company’s commitment to building an organization that grows together with AI.
In line with these efforts, Samsung C&T E&C Group also recently hosted the 2025 FutureScape Demo Day, collaborating with innovative startups across AI edutech, wellness, and XR to explore new business opportunities and strengthen open innovation.
