Yakov and Partners - Yakov and Partners and DOM.RF Technologies unveil a service for scaling AI

Yakov and Partners, together with DOM.RF Technologies, part of the DOM.RF Group, unveiled the AI Development Sprint during a dedicated industry session. The end-to-end service helps real estate developers move beyond pilot projects and deploy artificial intelligence at scale, delivering measurable economic impact. The companies have combined their industry and analytical expertise to help market participants take a systematic approach to AI adoption. Interest in AI is growing rapidly across the construction industry, yet few companies have succeeded in implementing AI solutions at an enterprise-wide level. According to expert estimates, around 64% of developers are testing artificial intelligence, but fewer than 10% are scaling it, while only one in five companies is able to quantify its economic impact. The main barriers remain unprepared business processes, poor data quality, and the absence of a unified implementation strategy. The AI Development Sprint helps address these challenges in just a few weeks. Experts assess business processes and the company’s readiness for AI adoption, identify priority technology use cases, and develop a financial model, an implementation roadmap, and recommendations for setting up a project management office.

“We bring together the capabilities of both companies in a single team. Together, we examine real-life use cases relevant to a specific company and develop an implementation program that can deliver the first tangible results within just a few weeks.”

Alexander Lukyanov, CEO of DOM.RF Technologies

The service combines DOM.RF Technologies’ industry expertise in the digital transformation of construction with the analytical capabilities of Yakov and Partners. One practical AI Development Sprint use case is an AI-powered urban planning analysis tool. It can automate up to 70% of calculations, increase specialists’ productivity by up to 30%, and shorten the pre-development planning phase.

“Given the constraints companies face, attempting to transform everything at once is no longer effective. It is far more efficient to begin by identifying the processes where economic value can be generated, determine how the results can be replicated, and only then scale the transformation.”

According to Evgeny Elfimov, Director of the Regional Corporate Business Division at Bank DOM.RF, digitalization is becoming one of the key drivers of efficiency in real estate development projects and is playing an increasingly important role in the quality of project management.

“Today, digitalization covers the entire lifecycle of a real estate development project—from design and construction to sales and the handover of apartments to buyers. We see that companies actively adopting building information modeling technologies, digital services, and AI-powered solutions are better able to manage project timelines, costs, and delivery quality.”

International experience shows that artificial intelligence is already becoming a new benchmark for competitiveness in real estate development. It enables companies to make decisions on land plots in seconds rather than hours, engage with customer demand around the clock, and increase the number of project options under consideration by an order of magnitude.

“For Russian companies, this is an opportunity not merely to automate individual operations, but to improve the speed and quality of management decisions across the entire project value chain. The winners will be those that can adapt the best international use cases to their own processes and turn technology into a sustainable competitive advantage.”
