Construction DNA.
Construction cannot be solved by generic ERP, CRM, or generic AI.
| Dimension | Generic enterprise software | Construction reality | Construction Industry Intelligence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Team model | Stable org chart | Temporary multi-company project org | Project-scoped graph of orgs, people, contracts |
| Contract chain | Single vendor–customer | GC ↔ subs ↔ owners ↔ agencies | Contract & obligation graph with claims/change lineage |
| Documents | Files in folders | RFIs, submittals, plans, specs, permits | Typed evidence linked to entities and decisions |
| Change | Feature releases | Change orders, claims, RFIs | Change engine with cost/schedule/risk impact |
| Field reality | Office-only | Weather, labor, equipment, materials | Field-aware signals + digital twin state |
| Compliance | Optional | Permits, insurance, safety, bonding | Compliance graph with audit-ready evidence |
| Handover | Product upgrade | Closeout → warranty → maintenance | Asset lifecycle memory |
Construction requires a construction-native ontology, knowledge graph, lifecycle engine, and evidence-based AI.
