Colorado Contractor Deploys AI Progress Tracking to Cut Labor Hours on 200+ Projects
According to ENR, Colorado-based contractor Hensel Phelps will deploy AI-powered progress tracking across more than 200 active projects after reporting significant savings on a recent airport project. The company’s partnership with Track3D’s construction management platform helped save $342,000 and nearly 3,000 labor hours on the Courtyard 3 Connector project at San Francisco International Airport.
The Track3D platform uses machine learning to provide real-time project status updates through shared visual dashboards, helping teams spot risks before they become costly rework situations while reducing time spent managing project information.
What It Means for Subcontractors
- Labor efficiency gains - Platform targets reducing information management time that crews typically spend on documentation and status updates
- Earlier risk detection - AI spotting potential issues before rework helps subs avoid costly delays and change orders on tight-margin projects
- Streamlined communication - Shared visual dashboards could reduce back-and-forth between trades, owners, and GCs during project coordination
