Solution Overview
for
Construction does not suffer from a lack of data. It suffers from not being able to use it when it matters. Critical facts are buried across contracts, schedules, drawings, emails, reports, photos and site records, while project teams make high-value decisions under time pressure and with only part of the picture. By the time the full evidence is reconstructed, the delay has happened, the cost has escalated, the claim has hardened or the dispute has begun. Teams then spend weeks manually piecing together what should have been visible earlier. The result is avoidable rework, margin leakage, weak risk control, repeated mistakes and decisions that are difficult to defend. Traditional document systems store project information. They do not reveal the event, risk or evidence chain hidden across it.
Our Solution:
Lupa is an AI-powered construction intelligence platform built for complex projects, claims and disputes. It cuts through fragmented project data and reconstructs what actually happened across contracts, schedules, drawings, correspondence, reports, photos and spreadsheets. Teams use Lupa to search millions of records, build issue chronologies, trace obligations, review variations, detect early warning signs and test the strength of claims. Every conclusion links back to the source, making the output transparent, auditable and defensible. Lupa also turns expert methods into reusable AI playbooks, so organisations can scale proven workflows across projects instead of rebuilding the analysis each time. The result is faster investigations, earlier risk detection, stronger commercial decisions and far less time wasted hunting for evidence.
How it works:
Most existing tools either store documents, search them, or generate generic AI answers. Lupa reconstructs the project reality hidden across fragmented data and turns it into traceable, defensible intelligence. It works across millions of records, connects facts across formats and time, and builds chronologies, evidence chains, contractual analyses and risk signals with every conclusion linked to source. It is not a black-box chatbot and it is not another document repository. Lupa combines construction-specific data intelligence with reusable expert AI playbooks, allowing organisations to scale proven forensic, commercial and project-control workflows across projects.

Key use cases in practice:
Lupa analysed fragmented contracts, schedules, site records, correspondence and technical reports to reconstruct the sequence of events behind a major piling delay claim. It connected contractual obligations, programme impacts, instructions and contemporaneous evidence across thousands of records, then produced a source-linked chronology and evidence chain. This allowed the project team to test the claim against the actual record, identify gaps and contradictions, and rebuild the case around defensible facts rather than assumptions. Work that would normally require weeks of manual review was compressed into days, giving commercial and legal teams a faster, clearer basis for strategy and decision-making.
Lupa gives project leaders a live view of delivery health by analysing schedule updates, progress reports, meeting minutes, RFIs, instructions, cost records and key correspondence. It identifies where planned progress, reported progress and commercial reality are starting to diverge, then surfaces the issues that need management attention. Teams can track recurring bottlenecks, unresolved decisions, scope changes, information gaps and emerging delivery pressure before they become formal claims. The result is a continuously updated, source-linked management view that helps project directors prioritise action, challenge optimistic reporting and intervene earlier.

Impact & SDGs
Contribution to any of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals:
Sustainable Cities and Communities Lupa supports better delivery of buildings and infrastructure by improving project transparency, coordination and decision-making. Earlier risk detection and stronger knowledge reuse help reduce delays, disruption and avoidable project failures.
Responsible Consumption and Production Lupa helps teams detect information gaps, risks and inconsistencies before they create rework, waste or unnecessary resource use. Better evidence and earlier decisions support more efficient use of materials, time and project resources.
Climate Action By reducing avoidable rework, delays and inefficient resource use, Lupa can help lower the embodied emissions associated with construction delivery. It also supports more reliable delivery of energy and climate-resilient infrastructure.
Decent Work and Economic Growth Lupa reduces time spent manually searching, reviewing and reconciling project records. This allows construction professionals to focus on higher-value analysis and decisions, improving productivity, accountability and project performance.
