Keeping Better Site Records Using Intelligent Bar Charts
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Daily recording of the actions done by all parties on a construction site is necessary, not only for confirming that work is done according to specifications, but also for analyzing any claims for additional time/cost. Site records, however, are often incomplete and inaccurate, and commercial scheduling software provides little support in this regard. In this paper, a simplified approach for site-data recording and constructing “as-built” schedules is introduced through the use of intelligent bar charts. The proposed bar chart guides the user through progress reporting by observing any conflict with the planned logic of the work. It automatically recognizes the occurrence of delays and asks the user to record the responsible party and the reasons. Based on percent completes and recorded delays, the bar chart recognizes the progress status of activities as being slow, suspended, or accelerated. The paper starts with a description of the types of data that need to be recorded on site. It then provides a description of the automated guidance mechanism of the proposed bar chart, along with details on schedule integration and applicability for claim analysis.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
