Shipbuilding Project Cost & Schedule Intelligence

The Problem
- Vessel construction projects ($200M-$2B each) routinely experience 15-30% cost overruns, totaling billions in losses industry-wide
- Labor productivity across hull fabrication, outfitting, and commissioning is poorly tracked with manual timesheets and lagging reports
- Material delivery delays cascade through complex build schedules, but impacts are invisible until milestones are missed
- Engineering change orders multiply costs 5-10x when discovered late in the build cycle, yet change management remains paper-based
How ShipCost AI Works
Cost Overrun Early Warning
Predicts cost overruns 3-6 months in advance using labor productivity trends, material delivery data, and engineering change velocity.
Block Fabrication Optimization
Optimizes block build sequences and outfitting schedules to minimize rework, maximize crane utilization, and reduce dock occupancy time.
Claim Management Intelligence
Predicts and manages contract claims by correlating scope changes, weather delays, and supplier performance against contract terms.
