Build Construction Delay & Procurement Overrun Predictor with AutoGen
Major urban adaptive reuse projects like King's Cross face potential schedule delays and material cost overruns due to supply chain volatility and contractor bottlenecks. Developers will construct a multi-agent construction management predictor using AutoGen. The system pairs a Supply Chain Monitoring Agent, a Weather Analysis Agent, and a Schedule Risk Coordinator Agent. The agents analyze site logs, procurement purchase orders, and weather forecasts to predict project completion delay risks and calculate contingency budget reserve adjustments.
What you are building
Develop an autonomous construction schedule delay risk predictor using AutoGen multi-agent collaboration.
How work is evaluated
Evaluates predicted delay days and recommended contingency reserve adjustments.
Datasets
Public datasets, plus the private datasets you have access to.
How submissions are scored
Contingency Math Precision
Ensures required contingency strictly equals delay_days * daily_overhead_cost
This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.
Delay Prediction Accuracy
Precision of total predicted delay days calculation • target: 0.95 • range: 0-1
This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.
Learning goals
Configure AutoGen agents for multi-factor construction schedule analysis
Build custom delay prediction tools combining weather impact and material delivery logs
Calculate recommended contingency financial reserves based on predicted delay days
Generate automated progress reports for project owners and general contractors
