  • Publication number: 20250117687
    Abstract: A computing platform is configured to: (i) train a machine-learning model by carrying out a machine learning process on a training data set that includes historical construction-based data objects, (ii) receive a request to generate a construction-based data object associated with an ongoing construction project, (iii) receive data values for data fields of the construction-based data object, (iv) input one or more data values for data fields of the construction-based data object into the machine-learning model, as the input data values, and thereby generate an updated data value for the data fields, (v) cause a client device to present a visual interface, the visual interface usable for viewing an indication of the construction-based data object and an indication of the updated data value, and (vi) update the data fields of the construction-based data object, based on the updated data value.

  • Publication number: 20250103982
    Abstract: A computing platform is configured to: (i) obtain a set of data objects related to construction projects, (ii) evaluate the set to identify a substitution-request-specific subset, wherein each data object of the subset corresponds to a respective substitution request, (iii) for each data object of the subset, evaluate the data object to identify one or more topics associated with the data object, (iv) based on the one or more topics, determine a supply-related issues, (v) identify a given construction project that has a likelihood of being impacted by one or more of the supply-related issues, (vi) determine one or more insights for the given construction project based on the one or more supply-related issues, and (vii) transmit, to a client station, data defining the one or more insights and thereby cause an indication of the one or more insights to be presented at a user interface of the client station.

  • Publication number: 20240378522
    Abstract: A computing platform is configured to: (i) at a first time, input data values for a first set of data variables associated with a given construction project into a first machine-learning model that functions to output a prediction of a first set of reference projects that are similar to the given construction project, (ii) based on historical data for the first set of reference projects, determine a predicted value for a parameter of the given construction project, (iii) at a second time, input data values for a second set of data variables associated with the given construction project into a second machine-learning model that functions to output a prediction of a second set of reference projects that are similar to the given construction project, and (iv) based on historical data for the second set of reference projects, determine an updated predicted value for the parameter of the given construction project.

  • Publication number: 20240152841
    Abstract: A computing platform is configured to: obtain a set of data objects representing construction-project-related action items; evaluate the obtained set of data objects and thereby identify two or more budget-code-specific subsets of data objects, where each respective budget-code-specific subset of data objects corresponds to a respective one of two or more budget codes; for each respective one of the two or more budget codes, evaluate the respective budget-code-specific subset of data objects and thereby identify one or more budget-code-specific metrics for the respective one of the two or more budget codes; based at least on the identified budget-code-specific metrics for the two or more budget codes, determine one or more construction-related insights; and transmit, to a client station, data defining the one or more construction-related insights and thereby cause an indication of the one or more construction-related insights to be presented at a user interface of the client station.

  • Publication number: 20230078389
    Abstract: A computing system is configured to receive a request to create a new change event for a construction project; obtain a set of initial information about the new change event; evaluate the set of initial information using predictive analytics and thereby predict one or more scopes of work that are likely implicated by the new change event, wherein each of the one or more scopes of work comprises a category of work activity and an estimated cost of performing the work activity; cause a client station to present the one or more scopes of work that are likely implicated by the new change event; receive data indicating that the user has selected at least one given scope of work from the one or more scopes of work; and create a data item that represents the new change event and includes data defining the at least one given scope of work.
