AI71 launches SuperHive to revolutionise construction lifecycle with AI-platform
Abu Dhabi — AI71 today announced the launch of SuperHive, a groundbreaking end-to-end platform designed to optimize every stage of the construction lifecycle — from design and permitting to execution and operation. With embedded AI, real-time intelligence, and advanced automation, SuperHive enables stakeholders across the ecosystem to accelerate project delivery, reduce risk, and enhance long-term asset performance. 'Construction underpins economic growth, yet it has seen limited disruption from modern technologies. With SuperHive, we're embedding intelligence across the entire infrastructure lifecycle — transforming how nations build and operate' said H.E. Faisal Al Bannai, Chairman of AI71. 'This is not just about digital transformation — it's about rethinking how we approach scale, speed, and resilience in infrastructure delivery.' Key Modules and Capabilities: Augmented design and planning: Validates CAD/BIM files against building codes with 99% accuracy, delivering permit-ready approvals in minutes. Also includes GenAI-powered 2D to 3D conversion, automating weeks of manual work. Advanced construction monitoring: Predictive scheduling and risk detection using satellite data, IoT sensors, and Primavera integration. Digital Twins: Enables city-wide smart asset management with real-time monitoring, predictive maintenance, and livability scoring. Asset management: Offers real-time quantity takeoff and cost estimation across project phases, improving budgeting accuracy. AI enabled monitoring: Provides drone and CV-powered site monitoring, tracking equipment use, compliance, and progress at a glance. One of SuperHive's most transformative features is its AI-powered compliance automation. Currently, compliance validation for construction permits remains a manual, error-prone, and time-consuming process — especially in rapidly growing urban regions. SuperHive's AiComply Studio reduces human dependency, minimizes costly errors, and empowers both consultants and municipal authorities to accelerate the approval process through AI-assisted regulation mapping and validation. 'By digitising and automating compliance, municipalities save cost, consultants gain speed, and developers reduce risk' said Klemensas Mecejus, VP Advisory at AI71. 'It's a win across the board,' he added. SuperHive supports a vision where infrastructure projects can go from idea to asset with intelligence at every stage. Whether for public housing, urban development, or smart cities, SuperHive offers a robust, integrated ecosystem — ready to be deployed at a national scale. 'With this intelligence, we boost productivity across the entire construction lifecycle — enabling up to 50% faster decision-making, reducing manual documentation by 70%, and cutting on-site rework by half. With full AI coverage across all sub-stages, it transforms how teams plan, build, and deliver at scale,' Chiara Marcati, Chief AI Advisory and Business Officer at AI71.

UAE expresses solidarity with Vietnam over boat tragedy in Ha Long Bay
The UAE has expressed its solidarity with Vietnam over the deaths and injuries of dozens of passengers on a boat that sank in Ha Long Bay due to bad weather conditions. In a statement, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed its sincere condolences to the families of the victims, the government of Vietnam, and the friendly people of Vietnam, wishing a speedy recovery to all the injured. Last week, a tourist boat ferrying families capsized in one of Vietnam's most popular tourist destinations, Ha Long bay. The "Wonder Sea" vessel was carrying 48 passengers and five crew members when it capsized because of sudden heavy rain, the VNExpress news site said. Most of those on board were families visiting from the capital Hanoi, with more than 20 children among the passengers, it said. Ha Long Bay is one of Vietnam's most popular tourist destinations, with millions of people visiting its blue-green waters and rainforest-topped limestone islands each year. Last year, 30 vessels sank at boat lock areas in coastal Quang Ninh province along Ha Long Bay after Typhoon Yagi brought strong wind and waves.
