Buildots construction monitoring and Delay Forecast
Wates used an AI warning to revise lighting work and reduce its forecast delay from 6 weeks to 1
Problem
Wates project managers needed reliable progress information when discussing work with subcontractors. Disputes over progress made corrective action harder to agree.
Approach
Wates used Buildots to measure construction progress and flag delay risks. In March 2024, a lighting-installation warning prompted a manager to examine available work areas and installation pace. He agreed a revised strategy with the subcontractor, reducing the projected delay.
Results
Takeaway
The warning led to a specific change in subcontractor planning. The reported improvement concerned the forecast schedule; Buildots did not report the final completion result.
