TakumiX for Construction

SORABITO Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; President & CEO: Kazuteru Hakata; hereinafter "SORABITO") announces the launch of the official website for its voice AI agent tailored for the construction industry, "TakumiX for Construction."

"TakumiX for Construction" is a voice AI agent customizable to construction site operations. Focusing on the widespread issue of 'personalized conversations' at construction sites—such as reliance on veteran workers' expertise for knowledge transfer, safety training in multilingual environments, and handling calls from subcontractors—the solution leverages voice AI to enhance on-site safety management, productivity, and technical knowledge preservation.

The application scenarios and demo videos for the construction industry can be viewed via the link below.

Background

At construction sites, numerous tasks—including confirmation of construction methods, correction decisions, pre-work safety briefings, and responding to inquiries from subcontractors—are conducted through interpersonal communication.

However, the construction industry faces growing challenges such as labor shortages, an aging workforce, increasing multilingual personnel, and rising workloads for site supervisors. Common issues include bottlenecks in decision-making due to over-reliance on site managers or veterans, safety instructions for foreign workers depending on interpreters or verbal explanations, and site supervisors being overwhelmed by phone calls from subcontractors, preventing them from focusing on core responsibilities.

Additionally, the volume of information requiring verification—such as construction specifications, standard guidelines, work procedures, FAQs, and site-specific rules—is immense. In environments where workers’ hands are occupied, or where accessing smartphones or PCs is difficult, the inability to quickly retrieve documents leads to work interruptions and delayed decisions.

Given these challenges, there is growing demand for voice AI agents that allow on-site personnel to instantly access necessary information, receive decision support, safety guidance, and inquiry handling simply by speaking.

Transforming Ephemeral Conversations into Assets with TakumiX for Construction

Voice AI Agent Designed for Construction Site Operations

"TakumiX for Construction" is a voice AI agent specifically designed for construction site workflows.

Based on construction specifications, standard guidelines, site-specific FAQs, records of veteran decisions, and internal rules, the system enables customized dialogue logic tailored to each company and site. The AI supports real-time conversational tasks such as junior supervisors confirming construction methods, delivering safety instructions in workers’ native languages, and verifying delivery rules with subcontractors.

Beyond a simple voice AI, it functions as an operational platform with voice as the entry point, enabling comprehensive management including conversation logging and summarization, task handovers, FAQ and knowledge management, inquiry categorization, Slack/Teams/email notifications, and integration with business systems.

Key Use Cases for TakumiX for Construction

1. Voice-Based Inquiry of Veteran Judgments

Junior site supervisors can verbally ask the AI about construction methods, correction decisions, or exception handling.

The AI provides instant 24/7 responses based on construction manuals, standard specifications, and records of veteran decisions. Only cases requiring individual judgment are escalated to site managers or designated personnel, reducing dependency on waiting for instructions and enabling teams to focus on execution and training.

2. Multilingual Safety Guidance at Multinational Sites

Safety items such as KY points, work zones, prohibitions, and pre-work precautions can be delivered via voice in workers’ native languages.

Supporting Japanese, English, Vietnamese, Tagalog, and Chinese—languages commonly used on construction sites—the system enables safety briefings and comprehension checks even without interpreters. This allows companies to standardize multilingual safety training across all sites rather than relying on ad-hoc, site-by-site solutions.

3. First-Line Phone Response for Subcontractors and Deliveries

The AI handles routine inquiries from subcontractors regarding delivery times, routes, protection areas, site registration, and site rules.

Conversation logs, summaries, and response flags are centralized in the management dashboard, with only critical items escalated to responsible personnel. This reduces the phone-handling burden on site supervisors and allows them to focus on core site duties.

Management Platform with Voice as the Entry Point

TakumiX for Construction records, transcribes, and summarizes all conversations, enabling centralized management of dialogue logs.

Furthermore, it serves as a management platform that connects conversations to actions—through response flags, task handovers, Slack/Teams/email alerts, FAQ and knowledge base management, inquiry categorization, site/subcontractor/language-based analytics, and integration with business systems.

By recording and storing conversations and decisions that would otherwise be ephemeral, the system turns them into reusable assets for future projects, contributing to improved knowledge transfer and safety management.

Implementation Process

Implementation follows a three-step process: demo creation, proof of concept (PoC), and full-scale deployment.

Demo Creation We conduct interviews on your company’s workflows, construction guidelines, and FAQs to build a demo environment for internal evaluation.

Proof of Concept (PoC) Deploy the system in a limited scope (e.g., one site or team) and measure key metrics such as resolution rate, response time, and multilingual response accuracy.

Full-Scale Deployment Establish system integrations and operational governance to support phased rollout across multiple sites.

Future Outlook

SORABITO will continue advancing the automation of conversational tasks and enhancing on-site support at construction sites through TakumiX for Construction.

Moving forward, we will collaborate with construction firms, contractors, specialized subcontractors, and construction DX companies to expand into broader use cases—including knowledge transfer, multilingual safety training, first-line call handling, construction specification inquiries, near-miss logging, and site access management.

By creating an environment where on-site workers can instantly access information and naturally consult via voice when uncertain, we aim to contribute to improved safety, productivity, and knowledge preservation in the construction industry, which faces severe labor shortages.
