AVOIDED OVERRUN
THE CHALLENGE
- Programme slippage on a £40m data-centre build was being discovered weeks after it started.
- Site reports, dockets and plant logs lived in five different systems — none of them talking to each other.
- Re-planning a single delay was eating two days of senior engineering time.
THE SOLUTION
- Eleki ingested live signals from dockets, plant GPS, weather feeds and supplier ETAs into one model.
- AI scheduling proposed minimal-impact re-plans the moment a slippage signal hit a threshold.
- Project directors approved or overrode recommendations from a single mobile-friendly dashboard — humans in the loop on every decision.
"We used to find out about slippage in the weekly meeting. Now we find out the same hour it happens — and the system has already drafted the fix."
OPERATOR QUESTIONS
How this actually works day to day
Does the AI change the programme on its own?+
Never. Eleki drafts a minimal-impact re-plan and shows the trade-offs; a project director approves, edits or rejects it. Every decision is attributed to a named person with a timestamp.
What data does it need to detect slippage early?+
Dockets, plant GPS, supplier ETAs and weather feeds. Those four signals were already being produced on site — the change was routing them into one model instead of five disconnected systems.
How does this sit alongside the main programme software?+
It sits above it. The client's planning tool remains the contractual programme of record; Eleki provides the live intelligence layer and pushes approved changes back rather than replacing the planner.
Is the audit trail good enough for a client or NEC compliance conversation?+
Yes. Every signal, recommendation, approval and override is logged with its source data, which is what makes early-warning notices and compensation-event evidence straightforward to assemble.
