Artificial intelligence meets downtime factoring in construction

Weather-related downtime is one of the most problematic and cost-escalating aspects of any construction process, severely impacting and involving all elements and parties involved. In the UK, approximately 20% of overall build budget is lost due to weather delay. Meanwhile, planning, building and construction are driving to integrate innovative digital technology. The aim is to integrate machine learning where updated data is continuously analysed, providing guidance to everyone involved in a development about what should be done at any given stage. With a platform utilising meteorology, mathematics and machine learning to instantly interrogate intelligent weather data, MetSwift's award-winning AI – developed for weather and natcat risk calculation – brings smart digital tech to counter downtime.
