The construction knowledge graph
Model the physical site, temporal logic and commercial contract as one living system.
Move beyond static spreadsheet trackers and disconnected BIM models.
- Maps physical 3D spaces (gridlines, levels, zones, crane lifting arcs) directly to work breakdown structures (WBS) and specific subcontractor scopes.
- Binds subcontractor contracts, scope packages and retention schedules to physical deliverables, automatically surfacing how an operational site slip triggers financial liabilities.
- Traces multi-order upstream dependencies, connecting off-site steel fabrication, port customs clearance and road transit permits to on-site crane hook readiness.
High-velocity zero-copy scenario planning
Test recovery sequences in temporal sandboxes before issuing site directives.
For when adverse weather halts crane operations for a week, or a facade supplier enters administration.
Zero-copy branching
Spin up isolated temporal sandboxes. The sandbox marks an exact snapshot of active site reality without duplicating database instances.
Deterministic trade resequencing
Run constraint solvers to model recovery options, such as authorizing night-shift weekend overtime for structural steel, or splitting facade delivery into twin vertical runs across the north and south elevations.
Controlled merge to production
Once approved by the Project Director, the optimized recovery schedule merges atomically into the master graph and exports updated commitments back to Primavera P6, Procore and subcontractor work orders.
Dynamic spatial coordination and crane allocation
Reduce trade stacking, laydown logjams and hoist bottlenecks.
Spatial conflict solvers
Detects when two independent trade scopes (such as sprinkler installation and duct erection) are scheduled within the same zone without adequate clearance or staging access.
Hoist and crane hook scheduling
Treats major vertical logistics (tower cranes, construction hoists, mobile lift pads) as shared constrained assets, leveling lifting schedules across all trades to maximize hook utilization.
Staging and laydown optimization
Correlates just-in-time material arrivals with designated laydown bays, helping prevent delivery trucks from stacking on city access roads and incurring demurrage fines.
Continuous empirical velocity and anomaly engine
Spot trade slowdowns weeks before they hit the contractual critical path.
Real-time velocity tracking
Measures realized installation rates (such as tons of steel erected per day or linear meters of pipe installed per shift) against initial bid assumptions.
Leading indicator alerts
Flags when a subcontractor’s actual site velocity begins drifting below the rate required to preserve contractual float, allowing proactive intervention before milestone failure.
Root-cause deduplication
If an incomplete structural survey delays steel erection across three sectors, the engine suppresses dozens of downstream trade warnings and delivers a single root-cause notification to the Project Director.
Forensic bi-temporal audit trails and claims defense
Arm commercial teams with detailed records to resolve delay disputes faster.
Point-in-time site replay
Rewind the entire project graph to any historical calendar date to verify exactly what was built, which engineering drawings were active, what hold points were pending and which trade had site possession.
Automated as-built causality mapping
Links owner-directed design variations directly to resulting subcontractor standby hours and critical path slippage.
Dispute packages
Export chronologies and dependency chains from retained records for dispute adjudication boards, reducing the need for costly forensic consultants.
Conventional construction management vs JanusKS
| Project focus | Traditional construction stack | The JanusKS IDSS platform |
|---|---|---|
| Critical path management | Biweekly or monthly manual updates in Primavera P6; schedule slippage caught too late. | Continuous graph inference tracks real-time trade velocity and flags float erosion daily. |
| Recovery scenario planning | Schedulers manually drag Gantt bars and spreadsheets; hours spent attempting to level dependencies. | Isolated scenarios let planners compare alternative trade sequences and assess feasible recovery options against project constraints. |
| Spatial and crane staging | Weekly site superintendent whiteboard meetings; frequent crane clashes and trade stacking on site. | Constraint-driven spatial coordination schedules crane hooks, laydown bays and trade zones automatically. |
| Scope changes and variations | RFIs and change directives issued without immediate understanding of the downstream margin impact. | The system calculates the multi-trade labor, material and critical path cost delta of every design change. |
| Delay claims and EOT disputes | Months of contentious litigation; millions spent on claims consultants reviewing fragmented email logs. | Bi-temporal records support forensic replay of recorded site conditions and causal delay chains. |
Security, data sovereignty and enterprise hardening
Major civil projects, transport networks and utility infrastructure represent critical national infrastructure (CNI), subject to rigorous security and compliance mandates.
On-premises and sovereign deployments
Deploy inside private corporate VPCs or entirely on-premises in secure site offices or corporate data centers, operating independently of third-party public cloud APIs.
Zero-token predictable cost
Run scenario simulations, automated constraint checks and agentic workflows on fixed infrastructure with no variable SaaS or per-token fees.
IP and commercial data stay private
Subcontractor rate sheets, proprietary unit economics, tender margin models and BIM geometries are not used to train third-party public AI models.
Granular attribute-based access control (ABAC)
Securely share project workspaces with joint-venture partners, design consultants and trade subcontractors without exposing confidential financial contingencies or unrelated portfolio packages.
Human-led commercial authority
Autonomous agents analyze site telemetry and formulate recovery options through the Model Context Protocol (MCP), but schedule revisions, subcontractor variations and payment certificates require authorized human executive sign-off.
