McCarthy, Palantir partner on AI

McCarthy Building Cos. has partnered with Palantir to enhance its internal AI capabilities with a multiyear, multimillion-dollar agreement.
The collaboration focuses on developing McCarthy’s AI-native system, Pulse, using Palantir’s Artificial Intelligence Platform.
Pulse offers real-time insights, scenario planning, risk analysis, and decision orchestration to field teams for construction tasks from design to fieldwork.
Palantir’s Ontology segment will help McCarthy create applications connecting contracts, estimating, and execution.
The partnership aims to model McCarthy’s tech team around embedded Palantir engineers and build enterprise-grade software using its internal applications team.
Palantir’s engineering expertise and strategic leadership have accelerated the transformation of complex operational concepts into scalable solutions for McCarthy.
The construction industry is increasingly favoring in-house tech solutions over third-party vendors to better meet specific needs.
Turner Construction, the largest U.S. contractor by revenue, similarly recently partnered with OpenAI to create its own solutions.
