AI/ML HACKATHON

Solving Real Construction Challenges Through Artificial Intelligence

The CTD AI/ML Hackathon brings together Students, Researchers, Technology Professionals, Data Scientists, and Industry Practitioners to develop innovative solutions for real-world construction challenges.

Construction projects generate enormous volumes of data every day, yet much of its potential remains untapped. The Hackathon bridges this gap by connecting real industry problem statements with emerging talent and innovative thinking, encouraging participants to build practical, scalable solutions that can improve how projects are planned, delivered, and managed.

Participants work on practical challenges from the construction industry, developing solutions that can improve productivity, predictability, safety, quality, and project outcomes.

This is more than a coding competition.

It is a platform where ideas meet industry.

Problem Statement Overview.

Construction projects generate vast amounts of information every day, yet converting that information into timely, actionable decisions remains a significant challenge. Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning have the potential to transform how the industry plans, predicts, and delivers projects by enabling smarter, data-driven decision-making.

As part of the CTD 2026 AI/ML Hackathon, participants will work on real-world construction challenges inspired by industry needs. Each problem statement is designed to encourage innovative, practical, and scalable solutions that can improve project performance and accelerate technology adoption across the construction ecosystem.
Participants will receive detailed problem statements, supporting datasets, evaluation criteria, and submission guidelines before the start of the Hackathon. Dedicated mentoring and Q&A sessions will also be conducted to help teams understand the challenges and develop impactful solutions.
The AI/ML Hackathon is more than a competition. It is an opportunity to collaborate with the construction industry, learn from real project challenges, and contribute ideas that have the potential to improve how projects are planned, delivered, and managed. By combining technical expertise with industry knowledge, participants will help shape the next generation of construction technology solutions.
