Research Area 03 · Construction Decision Intelligence Lab
A construction program is a process graph that changes every shift. This area builds algorithms that certify risk on that graph, carry provenance with every decision, and spend verification effort where uncertainty is highest.
A construction program is a process graph that changes every shift: activities, interfaces, RFIs, inspections, and handoffs, with information arriving late and unevenly. Risk gets certified once, at the plan, and then drifts. Verification effort is spread evenly across everything instead of concentrated where uncertainty is highest, and digital twins pile up data that never reaches a decision.
Algorithms that certify risk on a dynamic process graph, carry provenance with every decision so a claim can be traced back to the evidence that supported it, and adapt verification effort to where uncertainty concentrates. Alongside: a maturity model for AI-enabled safety systems, digital-twin readiness diagnostics, and RFI routing simulation, so the methods have working tools behind them.

Active work
Algorithm development
A decision-making framework that models a construction program as a dynamic process graph, certifies risk at each node with a provenance trail, and concentrates verification effort where uncertainty is highest instead of spreading it evenly.
