The premise Construction claims are won on narrative coherence; AI can weave fragmented project records into a sustained story.
What AI does well here Generate timeline narratives correlating RFIs, change orders, weather events, and schedule updates Draft the executive summary section of the claim document Produce damage calculations following standard methodologies (eichleay formula, Total Cost, Modified Total Cost) — flagged for expert review Generate cross-references between narrative assertions and underlying project documents Claim narrative scaffold Draft a claim narrative for the following construction dispute: project [type, owner, GC]; claim type [delay / acceleration / disruption]; key events [list with dates]; available documentation [RFIs, change orders, daily reports, weather data]. Structure: (1) project overview, (2) timeline of events with cited documents, (3) impact on critical path, (4) damages calculation (flag for expert review), (5) request for relief. Cross-reference each factual assertion to a specific document. What AI cannot do Substitute for forensic schedule analysis by a CPM scheduling expert Make legal calls about claim validity under the contract Replace the project superintendent's first-hand knowledge Schedule analysis is expert work Critical-path delay analysis requires CPM expertise and is testimony given by qualified scheduling experts. AI can help draft the narrative, but the underlying analysis must come from a credentialed expert who can defend it on cross.
