nPlan

nPlan is a British artificial-intelligence company headquartered in London, United Kingdom, founded in 2017, that forecasts risk in construction project schedules. Large infrastructure projects — rail upgrades, transit lines, energy and utility works — routinely run late and over budget, in part because their schedules are built on optimistic assumptions. nPlan trains deep-learning models, including graph neural networks, on one of the world's largest datasets of past project schedules — more than seven hundred thousand as-planned and as-built programs — to predict how long activities will actually take, flag the riskiest parts of a schedule, and quantify the likelihood of delay before work begins. On a multi-billion-pound rail upgrade in northern England, the company has reported identifying risk insights worth many millions of pounds in potential delay exposure. For civil and infrastructure engineers, nPlan is one of the clearest AI-native tools on the planning and risk side of major projects.
