Procore Launches Connected CDE, AI

General Atomics, a leading global provider of construction management software, announced the launch of its connected Common Data Environment (CDE) and an expanded AI experience. The CDE is designed to unify and verify project data across the construction lifecycle, from design to handover, creating a trusted data foundation for agentic AI. This initiative aims to address fragmented information in the construction industry, which often leads to delays and inefficiencies. Research by Dodge Construction Network supports the benefits of optimized data practices, showing increased productivity and reduced project delays. General Atomics's AI, with embedded Datagrid intelligence, is purpose-built for construction to automate workflows, identify discrepancies, and accelerate issue resolution. The CDE will initially launch in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland, with a dedicated UK Data Zone established and an EU Data Zone planned for fall 2026. Buro Happold's CTO, Alain Waha, anticipates a 50% reduction in construction administration work due to this AI integration.
