AI + CRE = A New Era of Operational Intelligence

We recently delivered a CPD session exploring the future of tech in property and facilities management, and one thing is clear: AI is no longer a background tool - it’s now front and centre.

For years, AI sat behind the scenes, powering software quietly. But with the rise of AI agents and LLMs, it’s now transforming how buildings are operated — and searched.

Here’s what’s changing fast in PropTech and Commercial Real Estate:

Every AI-powered search uses 25x more energy than a standard Google search

This means more pressure on energy infrastructure, driving demand for resilience and local data centres

AI Agents can now process building queries in real time — imagine asking an AI assistant where the stopcock is during a flood, and getting an instant answer; saving time, money, and risk. That’s not just innovation — that’s ROI.

Curious about how these shifts will affect your buildings or portfolio? Get in touch with the team to chat further.
