See a project slipping while you can still fix it.

AI and software for project and PMO teams, across the schedule, the cost, the approvals and the documents that decide both.

Every line on the right comes from a record somebody already files. The report on the left is compiled by hand, by the person being reported on.

In brief

We build the project status from the records themselves.

EigenSpark builds AI systems and the software around them for project and PMO teams. We read the records a project already produces: daily progress reports, drawings and revisions, RFIs, measurement sheets, variation notices, invoices and minutes. We reconcile them against the schedule and the cost model, so a slip shows up as soon as the evidence does. We keep the variation, risk and action registers current from those same records. Then we hand it to your team to run.

Your systems

Inside the scheduling and delivery tools you already run.

Nothing here asks you to move the schedule out of the tool that holds it.

Use cases

Twelve things we build for project teams.

The record first, then the schedule and the cost, then the documents, then what carries forward.

Progress intake from site

Daily progress reports, measurement sheets, photographs and logbooks read into the project record on the day they are made, with anything doubtful queued.

Document Intelligence Engine →

Schedule risk from the evidence

Activities flagged as at risk on predecessor completion, approval age and resource actuals, with the specific reason named for each one.

AI & Data Strategy →

Approval and RFI tracking

Every drawing, RFI and submission tracked by age and by who holds it, mapped to the activities that cannot start until it comes back.

Agentic AI →

Variation and claim register

Instructions, site records and correspondence read into a live register, with the entitlement and the evidence for each variation held together.

Contract Risk Analyser →

Contractor invoice and measurement checks

Invoices checked against measured quantities, rates and the contract, with only the differences passed to the quantity surveyor.

Document Intelligence Engine →

Cost forecast to completion

A forecast built from committed spend, unpriced variations and actual productivity, with the assumptions visible so the commercial team can argue with it.

AI & Data Strategy →

Risk register kept current

The register updated from what the records show, so a risk that has not moved in five months is raised for a decision.

Agentic AI →

Minutes and action tracking

Meeting recordings and minutes turned into actions with an owner and a date, then chased against the record until they close.

Generative AI →

Document control and revision matching

Drawings and specifications matched by revision across the register, the site copy and the contractor’s set, with anyone working to a superseded sheet flagged.

Document Intelligence Engine →

Resource and manpower planning

Planned against actual deployment by trade and by shift, so a shortfall shows up in the week it starts, well before the monthly review.

Data Engineering & Platforms →

Subcontractor performance

Delay, rework, quality observations and invoice disputes scored per subcontractor across projects, so the next award is made on the record.

Data Engineering & Platforms →

Search across finished projects

Every past project’s drawings, claims and correspondence made searchable, so a design change or a delay argument starts from what happened last time.

Generative AI →

How an engagement runs

How we work with you.

Reconcile the record first, automate one register, then hand it over.

01

Reconcile the record

Two to three weeks connecting the schedule, the cost model, the document register and the progress records into one view per project, with every activity tied to the evidence behind it. Everything else on this page depends on this.

  • Schedule, cost and documents in one place
  • One activity and one cost code identity throughout
  • Every reported percentage traced to a record
02

Automate one register

One register taken end to end: variations and claims, the approval and RFI log, or progress intake from site. Small enough to prove on one project, and measured against your own last one.

  • Built on your own documents and templates
  • Measured against your current reporting cycle
  • The project manager keeps the final say
03

Hand it to your team

Activity mappings, cost codes, approval routes, risk thresholds and report formats live in a console your PMO runs. A new project, contract form or contractor does not need us.

  • Rules and thresholds owned by the PMO
  • Documentation and training for the people who run it
  • Deployed in your own cloud tenancy

Training

We train your project teams to do this work with AI.

Ninety-minute hands-on sessions, run on your own drawings, progress records and contracts.

Project managers and engineers

AI on the project record

Reading, summarising and drafting against your own daily reports, correspondence and drawings, including the parts that decide a claim.

Walk away withA drafted notice and a weekly report, both built from your own records in the session.

Planners and quantity surveyors

Schedules and measurement, queried

Querying schedule and cost data directly, reconciling measurement against the contract, and automating the reports rebuilt every week.

Walk away withOne weekly report automated, and a measurement check that runs against the contract.

Project directors and the PMO

What to trust in a status pack

How to tell a prediction from a reported figure, what evidence a claim needs, and where a model belongs in a review that carries commercial consequences.

Walk away withA standard for what a status pack must show, and where AI output is allowed in one.

Project teams usually take AI & Machine Learning and Data & Analytics, with Enterprise Systems for the planning tools. The full catalogue is in Training & Enablement.

The engineering half

What sits under the AI.

Four layers of ordinary engineering. The first one decides whether the schedule and the cost can be compared at all.

01
Identity

One activity, one cost code, one document

A slip is invisible until the schedule activity, the cost code and the drawing refer to the same piece of work. It is the least interesting layer and it decides the outcome.

Integration

The systems a project actually runs on

Primavera or Microsoft Project stays the schedule of record and your ERP stays the ledger. Most of the effort is everything that arrives from site and from consultants.

Application

Screens built for a project manager

Built for the person who signs the report, with the record behind each figure one click away, so a flag can be checked before the review starts.

Reporting

The numbers the project and the board agree on

Defined once and used everywhere, so the site report, the PMO dashboard and the board pack cannot disagree. Your team runs and owns it.

We also run the training that goes with it: SQL and data engineering, cloud, enterprise systems and cybersecurity, alongside the AI tracks. A PMO that can query its own project data stops depending on the person who built the spreadsheet.

What we offer project teams

Four ways to work with us.

Most teams start with progress intake or the variation register, and use three of the four.

The specifics change by sector. See how this lands in Infrastructure & Public Works or Real Estate & REITs.

Security and controls

How we keep you in control.

The project manager signs the report, every flag opens onto its record, and nothing changes the schedule on its own.

01

The project manager signs the report

Flags, forecasts and register entries go to the person accountable for the project, with the record visible and the override kept.

02

Every flag opens onto its evidence

A schedule risk, a cost variance or a claim entry links back to the progress record, the drawing or the invoice it came from, on the date it arrived.

03

Nothing changes the schedule or pays a bill

No baseline is revised, no certificate is issued and no payment is released by a system. Your own approval chain does that.

04

Rules and thresholds belong to you

Activity mappings, cost codes, approval routes and risk thresholds are managed by your PMO in a console. A new contract form does not need a release.

FAQs

Questions project directors ask us.

Do you replace Primavera or Microsoft Project?

No. The schedule stays where it is, and so does your ERP. The work is reading the records that should be driving the schedule, reconciling them against it, and giving the PMO one place to see where the two disagree. Updates go back through the tool’s own interfaces.

Our progress data is a weekly Excel template. Can you work with that?

Yes, and that is the usual starting point. The template is fine as a format; the problem is that it is the only input. We add the records underneath it, which are the daily reports, the measurement sheets, the approval log and the photographs, and reconcile the template against them. Where they disagree, that is the finding.

Can it predict a delay?

It can tell you which activities are at risk today and name the reason: an unfinished predecessor, an approval that has been out for six weeks, productivity below the rate the plan assumes. That is more useful than a probability, and it is checkable. We will not promise a date, because a project record that is two weeks stale cannot support one.

We run projects for clients under different contract forms. Does that matter?

It matters little for the schedule and cost work. For variations and claims it matters a great deal, because the entitlement and the notice requirements come from the contract. We hold those as configuration per contract form, and your commercial team owns them.

Who does this help most: the site or the PMO?

Both, for different reasons. Site gets the intake work, which is time back on paperwork the team already fills in twice. The PMO gets a report it did not have to compile and can defend in a review. The site benefit is what makes the PMO benefit last.

Is all of this AI?

No, and the parts that are not are usually what makes the AI work. Mapping the work breakdown structure to cost codes, cleaning the vendor master, connecting the document register and building the rule engine are ordinary engineering, and they are most of the effort. The same is true of the training: alongside the AI tracks we run SQL, data engineering, cloud, enterprise systems and cybersecurity.

Where does the data sit?

In your own cloud tenancy. Project cost, claims and correspondence are commercially sensitive and often contested, so they stay inside your boundary. Where a hosted model is used for text work such as drafting minutes, what is sent to it is agreed and recorded before anything is built.

How many projects do you need before this is worth doing?

One, for the intake and the register work, because the effort it saves is on that project. The cross-project work, which is subcontractor performance and search across finished projects, needs a portfolio, which in practice means five or more completed projects with their records intact.
