We can actually take you on a timeline via the BIM model to gain a perspective on everything that ’ s happened on site from supply chain management to work completion .”
Reporting is essential and Oracle are examining ways of automating that process with verification in the field . By scanning the site with a robot that alerts a 3D model in the cloud linked to Reconstruct ( a ‘ Visual Command Center ’ that shows you ‘ what is there vs what should be there ’), the schedule can be updated .

Oracle ’ s Construction Intelligence
Cloud Service offers a new suite of AI and analytics applications for the engineering and construction industry . Construction projects often run into problems that impact productivity , safety , and profitability . The suite leverages Machine Learning ( ML ) to continually analyse project data managed in Oracle Construction and Engineering solutions applying Artificial Intelligence ( AI ) to identify any potential risks and inefficiencies early , helping organisations make better decisions . “ We ’ re tackling how to offer predictive insights that are leading indicators as opposed to lag indicators ,” explains Karthik Venkatasubramanian , Vice President , for Data & Analytics at Oracle . The suite uses data from Oracle ’ s Primavera scheduling solution to predict project delays , which regularly lead to cost overruns , and help organisations determine appropriate corrective actions . Re-trainable ML models offer customisation to suit specific needs , rising in accuracy over time as they learn from an organisation ’ s experiences to help deliver improved project outcomes . constructionglobal . com 71
