How do I see where work is stuck on my construction project?
Work is usually stuck on a small number of open items: an approval, a drawing, a delivery, a measurement, a payment or a decision. To see them, every open item needs an owner and a date, and someone has to keep checking them. AI agents can now track these from the team’s existing messages and records and show owners, on their phone, what is waiting and on whom.
Where work usually gets stuck
- Drawings or revisions awaited from the consultant
- Approvals pending with the client or the engineer
- Material or equipment deliveries not confirmed
- Measurements not signed, so bills cannot move
- Payments held, so the contractor slows down
- Decisions waiting on someone senior
Illustrative case
Level 6 cannot be poured. The reason is not on site: the structural consultant has not returned the revised drawing, which is waiting on a reply to an RFI sent eleven days ago. The owner sees one line on the phone: pour held, revised drawing pending with the consultant, RFI unanswered for eleven days. (Illustrative case.)
Why owners find out late
The information exists, but it is scattered across calls, WhatsApp groups, emails and spreadsheets. By the time it reaches the owner, the delay has already happened.
How AI helps
MIRAGE Shadow OS by NovaKons works inside the tools your organisation already uses, notices what is pending, follows up with the right person and shows owners and project heads, on their phone or iPad, where work is stuck.
Imagine what you want to build. NovaKons is building the AI agents to make it real.
