- DATA CENTRE CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT
Visibility of progress across critical work stages
See work progress and resources against the programme, and get deviations flagged early, before they hold up the contractors who follow.

A delay in one area can hold up the contractors who follow
Work stages depend on each other. Plant rooms must be complete before equipment installation, and installation and connections must be ready before testing can begin.
Overall completion is not enough. Unfinished work in an electrical room or cooling area can put a milestone at risk, even when the rest of the project is on track.
That is why management focuses on the tasks and resources needed for the next work stage. Earlier detection gives you more time to take corrective action.
Programme control
See progress and deviations in critical areas before the planned start of follow-on works.
Resource allocation
Compare staffing by area with the planned headcount and trade, and investigate deviations with the contractor.
Faster response
Wendy AI brings the findings together, and Workflows routes agreed deviations to the people responsible.
Plan, verify, analyse, act: one routine for everyday site management
Weekly: Has the work progressed?
The programme is compared with 360° imagery. Wendy AI summarises progress deviations, and site management agrees priorities for upcoming works.
Daily: Are the resources on site?
The programme is compared with location data. Workflows runs agreed checks and flags staffing deviations for site management to review.
Continuously: Plan tomorrow better
Compare, investigate and refine. Today’s actuals show how precise the daily plan was and help set tomorrow’s resource needs, work sequence and targets.
AIFORSITE’S SOLUTION FOR DATA CENTRE CONSTRUCTION
Aiforsite 360 and Real-Time Location System
Images show how work has progressed. Compare the same location across capture dates, and give site teams, clients and contractors the same evidence to review.
The right trades in the right work area. Location tags show trades by area, so you can compare observed staffing with the daily plan. Workforce Analytics shows staffing trends and area distribution to support planning for upcoming works.
Presence alone does not prove completed work, so labour input is always compared with progress before drawing conclusions.
Wendy AI and Workflows
What needs attention first? Wendy AI summarises the status of each area, highlights deviations and recommends actions. Site management verifies the findings and decides on actions.
Agreed checks reduce manual comparison. Workflows compares the planned headcount, trade and work area for each task with observed presence, and work permit data with tag presence. Deviations are flagged to site management automatically.
Illustrative example: six electricians in the plan, four tags detected in Electrical Room A
Workflows compares the planned crew for a task with the tags detected in the work area. When they do not match, the right person is alerted and site management investigates the cause with the contractor.
6
planned electricians for cable tray installation in Electrical Room A
4
tags detected in the area for the same trade
Alert
sent to the person responsible, who agrees an action with the contractor
The same programme deviation may need a different solution
The observation guides the investigation. Site management verifies the cause before deciding on an action.
Staffing below plan
Is the agreed crew available and in the right area? Site management checks staffing with the contractor.
Staffing matches the plan
Are materials, drawings or preceding works missing? Site management investigates constraints before adding resources.
Before commissioning
Images and programme comparisons reveal visibly incomplete work before planned inspections and tests. Technical acceptance remains part of the project’s quality assurance.
Customer value comes from action on the findings
Agree the baseline and the measures before deployment, then track them throughout the project.
Site management time
Measure the time spent gathering information and reporting, and the time from detecting a deviation to agreeing an action.
Predictability of delivery
Track how long resource deviations last and how the project performs against milestones.
Avoided waiting time
Assess avoided waiting time for follow-on contractors using verified cases.
- CASE STUDY
Aiforsite is a comprehensive productivity platform for construction sites: Case Fortum
In Kirkkonummi’s Kolabacken, energy company Fortum is constructing a new heat pump plant that will capture waste heat from Microsoft’s upcoming data center and recycle it as district heating.
Aiforsite’s cutting-edge smart technology helps monitor the progress of a construction project in real time. It improves the project’s productivity, enhances workplace safety and helps adapt to the actual conditions at the job site.

Start from a critical area and build a site-wide way of working
Deployment starts small and expands to further areas and projects once the benefits are proven.
1. Scope and sizing
Select the tasks and areas to monitor. Agree programme data, capture frequency and location coverage.
2. A shared way of working
Define integrations, alerts and the people responsible. Agree access rights and data handling responsibilities.
3. Reviewing benefits
Track the agreed measures and extend proven practices to further areas and projects.
