From that one query I gave, I probably saved 20-30 minutes. So right there that’s a $25 savings for the town.

One of the things cities do well is build and maintain infrastructure. Dependbuild is introducing opportunities to apply artificial intelligence in the most practical way- reducing risk and cutting costs to these projects. Nothing could be more valuable.

Payment Delays

There are payment delays from either the municipality or the developers that negatively impact the infrastructure development project.

Damages to Supply Chain

Goods required for the project arrive on site damaged, leading to schedule delays and/or quality impacts.

Variances in vehicle demand

If vehicle demand modeling to utilize road, bridge, tunnel and peripheral infrastructure is insufficient and/or incorrect, there may be ineffective use of the infrastructure, potential increases in maintenance and repair costs, and impacts to other projects/community development efforts.

Lack of Coordination with Other Projects

There is a general lack of coordination/communication within the organization that negatively impacts the infrastructure development project.

Escalated Land Acquisition Costs

Ineffective strategies associated with land acquisition processes mean that purchase activities breach due diligence requirements or ethical standards, leading to escalated acquisition costs.

Misalignment of Work Packages

Lack of understanding and structure of work packages results in a risk that work packages will progress at various paces resulting in misalignment with project commissioning milestones leading to delays.

Breach of Watershed Commitments

Failure to adhere to watershed commitments which can lead to legal recourse and/or reputational damage.

Historic land contamination

The potential for land contamination to exist that is discovered during earthworks, which the municipality can hold liability over remediating.

Impact to Livelihood

The infrastructure development may lead to significant impacts or changes to activities that support the community, such as fishing, farming/agriculture, hunting or other local industries.
