Introducing Oskari Kruth

Oskari Kruth: "By enabling the refinement and enrichment of structured design and product data within construction processes, we move three steps closer to a productivity leap for the industry."

Next from the AI Champion project team we are excited to introduce Fira's Project Manager Oskari Kruth. In the AI Champion project, Fira functions as the platform for integrating standardized and structured design and product data, and serves as a subject‑matter expert in construction processes.

Fira and Oskari are responsible for supporting the linkage of design and product data to construction workflows and their corresponding execution data so that the streamlined data is available to be used in areas such as sustainability reporting and building maintenance requirements throughout the entire lifecycle of the building.

“I expect the AI Champion project to accelerate the standardization of the construction industry’s operating environment and the structuring of information, as well as to pave the way for a long‑awaited productivity leap through machine‑readable data, intelligent data flows, and AI agents.”

In the Business Finland funded AI Champion Co-Innovation project, we aim to find out the design and construction challenges in Building Services and create a 100 AI Agents to solve these challenges and enhance the supply chains. Co-operators and funders in AI Champion are Tampere University, University of Oulu, Granlund, Fira, Koja Chiller, ETS NORD, Kiilto, GF BFS, Nimlas, LVI-INFO, Sähköteknisen Kaupan Liitto ry and Airlyse.
