BuildAhead

BuildSage is an innovative solution that combines AI prediction models with blockchain technology to revolutionize construction project management. The platform predicts potential construction delays before they happen by analyzing multiple data sources including weather forecasts, material delivery schedules, workforce availability, and historical performance data. Key features include: AI-Powered Delay Prediction: Our machine learning model analyzes multiple factors to calculate the probability of construction delays, allowing project managers to take preventive action. On-Chain Transparency: All predictions, actions, and outcomes are recorded on Ethereum, creating an immutable audit trail that increases accountability and trust between stakeholders. Tokenized Incentives: The SAGE token incentivizes stakeholders to contribute accurate data and take preventive actions, creating a self-sustaining ecosystem that rewards proactive delay management. Real-Time Weather Data: Integration with Pyth Network provides reliable, tamper-proof weather data that feeds directly into our prediction models. Cross-Chain Compatibility: LayerZero integration enables BuildSage to operate across multiple blockchains, allowing construction companies to use their preferred networks while maintaining interoperability. Token Utility: Users can swap earned SAGE tokens through 1inch integration, providing immediate liquidity and value for participation. Enhanced Explorer Experience: Blockscout integration provides a user-friendly way to track on-chain activities and earn Merit points for platform engagement. BuildSage addresses the $1.6 trillion annual cost of construction delays worldwide by creating a transparent, incentive-aligned system where all stakeholders benefit from preventing delays rather than assigning blame after they occur. Our solution transforms construction management from reactive to proactive, potentially saving millions in delay costs for even mid-sized projects.

BuildSage is built using a combination of cutting-edge technologies and strategic partner integrations: Core Technology Stack: Smart Contracts: Developed in Solidity on Ethereum (Sepolia testnet), our contracts handle prediction recording, token distribution, and partner integrations. Frontend: React with TypeScript and Tailwind CSS for a responsive, user-friendly interface. AI Model: Python-based machine learning model using scikit-learn for delay prediction based on multiple variables. Web3 Integration: Ethers.js for seamless blockchain interaction from the frontend. Partner Integrations: Blockscout Integration: Implemented Blockscout as our primary blockchain explorer Utilized Blockscout SDK for real-time transaction feedback Integrated Merit points system to reward user engagement Enhanced user experience by providing detailed transaction insights Pyth Network Integration: Implemented Pyth pull oracle for reliable weather data Used Hermes for data fetching and updatePriceFeeds for on-chain updates Created a custom PythIntegration contract to store and process weather data Weather data directly feeds our AI prediction model for improved accuracy 1inch API Integration: Implemented token swap functionality using 1inch API Enabled users to convert earned SAGE tokens to other cryptocurrencies Utilized 1inch's aggregation protocol for best swap rates Enhanced token utility by providing immediate liquidity options LayerZero Integration: Implemented cross-chain data queries using lzRead Enabled retrieval of on-chain state from destination blockchains Created a hub-and-spoke model for multi-chain construction project management Allowed construction companies to use their preferred blockchain while maintaining interoperability
