Construction intelligence for Uganda

What would you like
to work on today?

Price a project against ten years of Ugandan cost data, build a programme that holds up, check a delay under the SCL Protocol and your FIDIC form, read the letters on file, and produce a claim that is ready to submit. Each tool asks only for what it needs.

Built on the Phase 0 data foundationConstruction input prices, macro indicators and the audit trail behind them, refreshed with every pipeline run.
01 Before you bid

Project the cost

Escalation over the contract period, cost at completion, a contingency you can defend, and when to buy the materials that move the most.

You need the contract value, the award month and the duration. A material basket is suggested for you. Open the cost projection
02 Before the works start

Build the programme

Activities, durations and logic; the critical path, the float and the completion date computed as you type, tested against what Sub-Clause 8.3 and the Protocol expect.

You need the commencement date and the Time for Completion. A road, building or water template gets you started. Open the programme builder
03 When the programme slips

Check a delay

How many days of extension the event supports, what it is worth, when each notice falls due under your form of contract, and what the clause you are relying on says.

You need the form of contract, the event dates and the delay to completion. Open the delay check
04 The paper trail

Review the correspondence

Drop in the letters, instructions and minutes. The dates, references and clauses are pulled out into a chronology and an evidence register, with the notice deadlines marked.

You need PDF or Word files. They are read on this device and go nowhere else. Open the evidence desk
05 Ready to submit

Build the claim

Eight sections in the house form, from executive summary to formal request, written from the facts, the delay analysis and the quantum you enter, and exported to Word.

You need the parties and contract particulars; the rest can come from the other tools. Open the claim builder

Understand a clause

Plain-language explanations of the FIDIC provisions across eleven books, with the equivalent clause in each.

The SCL Protocol

The 22 core principles and the six delay-analysis methods, with a fit test for your records.

Explore the data

The price indices, the macro series, the audit trail and the research outputs behind every projection.

How the tools fit together

1Plan the works

The programme builder fixes the baseline the whole claim is measured against.

2Read the record

The evidence desk turns the letters into a dated chronology and numbers the annexes.

3Measure the delay

A delay impacted on the programme, then the Protocol and the claim procedure of your form.

4Price the effect

The cost projection supplies the escalation and the time-related cost.

5Write it up

The claim builder assembles the submission and exports it to Word.

Working in the open. Every figure can be traced to a source series, a Protocol paragraph or a clause of the selected form. Nothing you type or upload leaves your browser; the tools are decision support for preparing or assessing a position, not a determination under the Contract and not legal advice.
