The construction of different buildings involves various elements of complexity. Research shows that at least three Pillars of Complexity define the success of a construction contract:

​

A. Personnel Expertise

B. Architecture Design

C. Planning Schedule

​

with a fourth Pillar coming along imminently:

 

D. Sustainability. 

​

Data and AI can support construction companies in planning better and building a reputable brand by ensuring that deadlines are met, compliance is adhered to, and profits are optimised. 

​

Construction projects begin with a design stored in a Revit file that contains the dimensions, elements and coordinates of the building. These artefacts are the metadata that can be used to define metrics in order to define complexity.
