What are AI business insights?
Most construction companies only discover at post-calculation — often months after completion — whether a project was profitable. By that point adjustments are no longer possible. According to USP Marketing Consultancy, 40% of contractors have insufficient insight into their project margins during execution.
AI consolidates project data in real time and flags deviations immediately: overrun of hours, material usage that deviates from the calculation and throughput times that are at risk of running over.
How does it work?
The system connects data from your ERP, time registration, procurement and planning. Per project, KPIs are calculated in real time: realised margin, hours consumed versus calculation, material costs and progress. AI compares with the original quote and flags deviations.
Post-calculations are automatically generated upon project completion. Insights from post-calculations are incorporated into future calculations — so your organisation learns from every project.
What does it deliver?
Contractors report 25% better margins through early corrective action, more accurate future calculations and strategic insight into which project types are most profitable. The data-driven approach makes the difference between growing and surviving in a sector with margins of 3–5%.
