IOGA, when AI transforms knowledge transfer into a competitive advantage for the construction sector

However, 80% of critical knowledge in the construction industry remains tacit, embedded in the gestures, reflexes and experience of professionals, without a structured system to capture or transmit it.

It is precisely on this blind spot that IOGA intervenes, with a video platform augmented by artificial intelligence that captures, structures and disseminates field know-how on a large scale.

Knowledge transfer: an under-exploited strategic issue in the construction industry

In construction, expertise is based first and foremost on field experience. A site manager who can anticipate geotechnical risks, a skilled worker who has mastered a specific installation technique, a methods engineer who has resolved dozens of critical situations: all possess an irreplaceable wealth of knowledge. But when these experts retire, move on, or complete a project, their know-how disappears with them.

Despite this observation, most companies in the sector lack any structured system for identifying, capturing, and transmitting this critical knowledge. Lessons learned (lessons learned) do exist, but they remain sporadic, delayed, and rarely reused. Know-how circulates informally, through mentorship when time allows.

An AI-enhanced video platform to capitalize on field expertise

IOGA publishes a SaaS platform for knowledge capitalization through video, enhanced by artificial intelligence. It allows construction companies to capture field knowledge in real-world situations directly on the construction site, in the workshop or in the design office, and then automatically transform it into structured and reusable documentary resources.

The platform covers the entire knowledge capitalization chain: video capture on smartphones, automatic transcription by AI, intelligent chaptering, multilingual translation, automatic generation of experience reports, and semantic search in natural language across the entire knowledge base. Each recording, lasting just a few minutes, becomes a documented, indexed resource accessible to all teams.

Founded by Alban Peleszko, former digital director at VINCI Construction, IOGA was born from a real-world observation: experts were leaving companies without their know-how having been formalized or passed on. Customer feedback quickly raised questions that went beyond a simple knowledge-gathering tool: how to identify critical knowledge to preserve? What to do when an expert doesn't even know their own expertise? How to sustainably embed this approach within the organization? These questions led to the development of IOGANIZATION, a methodology that combines key knowledge assessment, guided knowledge capture, peer validation, and integration into daily practices.

Driving innovation on a global scale through multilingual data capture

One of the most emblematic deployments of the IOGA platform is that carried out at a world leader in specialized civil engineering works. In a group operating on all continents, field initiatives emerge every day in different languages ​​and contexts: an optimized prestressing technique in Brazil, a structural repair process tested in Southeast Asia, a construction site innovation in Northern Europe.

IOGA facilitates communities of expertise that bring together 500 professionals worldwide. Thanks to automatic transcription and AI-powered multilingual translation, every initiative captured locally in the field team's language is made accessible to the entire group within hours. The platform thus not only capitalizes on existing expertise but also identifies and guides emerging innovations globally, making them visible and shareable across geographical and linguistic silos.

This use case illustrates a strong conviction: in an international group, innovation is not lacking. What is lacking is the ability to identify it, formalize it, and disseminate it.

bim.ioga.fr: a collaborative space to pool BIM expertise in the sector

Beyond its deployments in companies, IOGA has launched with Autodesk and the Campus of Trades and Qualifications of Excellence in Construction and Digital Uses (CMQ du BTP) the bim.ioga.fr platform, a collaborative space dedicated to the capitalization of BIM knowledge.

Organized into four thematic hubs—Architecture, Infrastructure, Structure, and Cloud—this free platform allows AEC professionals to share their expert video clips, browse specialized content, and contribute to a collective knowledge base for the sector. An interactive assessment path allows each user to measure their progress and identify areas for development.

This initiative, born from feedback from professionals during previous editions of BIM World, illustrates IOGA's conviction: in a rapidly changing sector, the sharing of knowledge between peers becomes a strategic resource that can no longer remain informal.

Three key structural challenges for the construction sector

Recent work in management science converges on three major challenges that the sector must address in a coordinated manner:

Knowledge loss is not an accident but a failure to anticipate. When an expert leaves, it's too late to capture their expertise. Organizations that thrive are those that integrate knowledge transfer into their routine processes, well in advance of departures.

AI significantly accelerates documentation—transcription, structuring, indexing, translation—but it doesn't replace the social dimension of knowledge transmission. The risk is that it will impoverish exchanges between experts and learners by assuming that technology alone is sufficient. The challenge is to use AI to free up time for what truly matters: human interaction.

Knowledge transfer is not a one-off project but a culture to be established. Successful companies are those that foster "knowledge facilitators"—cross-functional players capable of identifying key knowledge holders, selecting what is essential to transmit, and embedding this approach over the long term.

Operational deployments at key players

IOGA counts among its clients several major players in the construction sector: VINCI Construction, Colas, SPIE, the CCCA-BTP, as well as the FNTP through the TP Demain platform which offers more than 2,500 educational resources to Public Works professionals.

Action 21 and the ConstructionTech Village: uniting the ecosystem around innovation

IOGA will be present at BIM World Paris 2026 as part of the ConstructionTech Village, organized in partnership with Action 21. Action 21, a laboratory for open-source projects of general interest, brings together local authorities, businesses, associations, and citizens around concrete actions serving the construction sector. The association notably leads the "Renovation Ambassadors" program, deployed with BTP CFA Occitanie to nearly 600 apprentices, and is working to improve the reliability of Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) data and create a single point of contact for renovation monitoring.

The ConstructionTech Village is a space dedicated to innovative digital solutions that are transforming construction practices. It brings together 60 startups alongside institutional partners such as CCCA-BTP, CAPEB, FFB, CFA, Compagnons du Devoir and major players in the construction industry, on April 1st and 2nd, 2026 at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles.

This is an opportunity to discover the bim.ioga.fr platform in a live demonstration, to discuss the challenges of knowledge transfer in construction and to understand how AI can accelerate the capitalization of field know-how without impoverishing the human dimension.
