How Does InferTrust™ AEC Support AI-Assisted Construction Delay and Claims Analysis?

Learn how InferTrust™ AEC creates verifiable records for AI-powered schedule analysis, delay attribution, and progress monitoring to support construction claims

Verifiable Records for Construction AI Claims Analysis

Construction delay claims represent billions of dollars in annual disputes across the AEC industry. AI tools are increasingly used to analyze project schedules, attribute delays to responsible parties, calculate concurrent delay impacts, and verify progress against baseline schedules. These AI-assisted analyses often form the basis for claims worth tens or hundreds of millions of dollars. InferTrust™ (Patent Pending) AEC creates sealed records for every AI analysis in the claims workflow.

Schedule Analysis and Delay Attribution

AI-assisted schedule analysis examines critical path impacts, float consumption, concurrent delay, and acceleration costs. Each analysis produces findings that directly affect financial outcomes for owners, contractors, and subcontractors. InferTrust™ AEC seals each analysis with the schedule data version, the analysis methodology (time impact analysis, windows analysis, as-planned vs as-built), the delay events evaluated, and the resulting attribution. When the analysis is challenged in arbitration or litigation, the sealed records prove exactly what data and methodology produced the findings.

Progress Monitoring with Drone and BIM Data

AI analyzing drone imagery, LiDAR scans, and BIM model comparisons to assess construction progress creates sealed records of every progress evaluation. Percent-complete calculations, deviation identification, and milestone achievement certifications are all captured with the source data fingerprint, the analysis model version, and the evaluation timestamp. These records support both progress payment verification and delay claim substantiation with evidence that cannot be retroactively modified.

Expert Witness Support

In construction disputes, expert witnesses rely on project records to support their opinions. InferTrust™ sealed records provide experts with verified evidence rather than contested documents. When opposing experts challenge the reliability of the underlying data, the cryptographic guarantees provide a level of evidentiary integrity that conventional project records cannot match.
