BlueWhale
Project Intelligence Platform
Construction projects generate thousands of dependencies across schedule, cost, and contract. When something changes, understanding the full commercial impact often takes days. By then, penalty exposure has accumulated, notification deadlines have passed, and recovery options have narrowed. BlueWhale connects project data across domains and delivers cross-functional impact analysis in seconds, with every number traceable and every calculation defensible.

How BlueWhale sees your project
capabilities
Seven domains.
One connected system.
ai & computation
AI does what it does best.
Computation does what it must.
AI
Language, context, and explanation
Understands questions
Users ask in natural language the way they would ask a colleague. The AI interprets intent, resolves ambiguity, and identifies which analysis the engine needs to run.
Reads documents
Contracts, schedules, BOQs, and correspondence are unstructured by nature. The AI extracts structured entities, classifications, and relationships from raw documents so the engine can work with real data.
Explains results
Pre-computed analysis is translated into clear, readable narrative. The AI does not generate the numbers. It describes what the numbers mean, why they matter, and what the user should pay attention to.
Handles ambiguity
Language is inherently imprecise. When a user asks "how bad is Building C?" the AI understands this means schedule delay, cost impact, and penalty exposure combined. It routes the question to the right playbooks.
Computation
Formulas, precision, and traceability
Applies published formulas
EVM metrics follow PMBOK definitions. Delay damages follow contract-specific LD rates. Claim quantification follows Hudson, Eichleay, or Emden depending on the framework. Every formula is defined, not generated.
Uses verified inputs only
Every calculation starts from data extracted from uploaded documents with source references. If an input is missing, the engine reports what is missing and why it matters. It never fills gaps with assumptions.
Produces exact numbers
A penalty exposure of €39,375 means exactly €39,375. Not approximately €40,000. Not a range. The same inputs always produce the same output, every time.
Full calculation trace
Every output shows its formula, its inputs, and the source documents those inputs came from. Any stakeholder can verify any number by following the trace back to the original data.
The boundary is deliberate. AI never performs calculations. Computation never generates language. Each does what it does best, and the user gets the convenience of natural conversation with the reliability of verified mathematics.
standards coverage
FIDIC
Fédération Internationale des Ingénieurs-Conseils
Standard contract forms used on most international construction projects. BlueWhale maps clause obligations, extension of time provisions, and claims procedures.
VOB/B
Vergabe- und Vertragsordnung für Bauleistungen
German construction contract regulation. BlueWhale implements payment terms, defect liability periods, and acceptance procedures.
NEC4
New Engineering Contract
Collaborative contract framework widely used in the UK and internationally. BlueWhale tracks early warnings, compensation events, and programme obligations.
JCT
Joint Contracts Tribunal
UK standard building contracts. BlueWhale handles practical completion, liquidated damages, and variation procedures.
HOAI
Honorarordnung für Architekten und Ingenieure
German fee schedule for architects and engineers. BlueWhale classifies service phases and fee calculations.
DIN 276
German Cost Classification Standard
German cost classification standard for construction. BlueWhale uses it as the ontology backbone for cost categorisation across all project types.
SCL Protocol
Society of Construction Law Delay and Disruption Protocol
Industry-standard methodology for analysing delay claims. BlueWhale implements its recommended approaches for concurrent delay, float ownership, and time impact analysis.
who it's for
Project Directors
Full visibility across schedule, cost, and contract in one place. Make decisions based on connected analysis, not fragmented reports.
Commercial Managers
Penalty exposure, claim entitlement, and cost variance computed in real time with full traceability. Defend every number in negotiations.
Claims Consultants
Evidential chains built from source documents. Delay analysis, quantum calculations, and claim narratives grounded in verifiable data.
Client Representatives
Independent verification of contractor positions. Traceable analysis that holds up under scrutiny.
Construction Tech Platforms
Embed BlueWhale's intelligence engine into your existing product through API integration. Add cross-domain analysis without building it from scratch.
compliance & trust
GDPR
Data sovereignty by design. Customer data never leaves their designated environment.
