## What is this?
A collection of **238 skills** for automating construction company processes with AI coding assistants.
### What is a "Skill"?
A skill is a `SKILL.md` file — structured instructions that an AI coding assistant can read and execute. Each skill describes a specific task: what problem it solves, what code to generate, and what tools are needed. You open a skill folder in your AI assistant, and it helps you implement the described functionality.
---

## Where to Start
### If you manage or lead a construction company:
**Step 1.** Read [GETTING_STARTED.md](GETTING_STARTED.md) — a non-technical overview of what can be automated and how to prioritize.
**Step 2.** Download the [Data-Driven Construction](Books/) book (free, 31 languages) — it explains the methodology behind these skills: how to assess your company's data maturity, identify bottlenecks, and plan digital transformation.
**Step 3.** Identify your biggest pain point in the table below and start with the corresponding skill.
### If you are a developer or IT lead:
**Step 1.** Install prerequisites (see [Prerequisites](#prerequisites)).
**Step 2.** Pick a skill from the table below, open its folder in your AI assistant, and follow the `SKILL.md`.
**Step 3.** Adapt the generated code to your data and deploy.
---
## What Can You Automate?
Examples of common problems and which skills address them:
| Your problem | What the skill does | Skill to run | Folder |
|--------------|---------------------|--------------|--------|
| Searching for work item rates takes too long | Semantic search across 78,228 national + 55,719 global items in 26 languages | `semantic-search-cwicr` | `1_DDC_Toolkit/` |
| Estimators spend days building estimates manually | Generates estimates from historical data and templates | `estimate-builder` | `1_DDC_Toolkit/` |
| BIM models contain data but it's locked in RVT/IFC files | Extracts quantities and properties to Excel | `ifc-to-excel`, `rvt-to-excel` | `1_DDC_Toolkit/` |
| Daily/weekly reports take hours to compile | Automated data collection and report generation | `n8n-daily-report` | `3_DDC_Insights/` |
| Site photos pile up with no organization | AI classifies and tags site photos automatically | `n8n-photo-report` | `3_DDC_Insights/` |
| Data is scattered across Excel files, emails, PDFs | Finds all data sources and maps dependencies | `data-silo-detection` | `2_DDC_Book/` |
| No visibility into project KPIs | Dashboard with real-time metrics from your data | `kpi-dashboard` | `1_DDC_Toolkit/` |
| Budget overruns discovered too late | Scheduled budget vs. actual comparison | `budget-tracker` | `1_DDC_Toolkit/` |
| PDF specifications need to be searchable | Extracts text and tables from PDFs into structured data | `specification-extractor` | `2_DDC_Book/` |
| Schedule delays are hard to predict | Statistical analysis of schedule variance patterns | `schedule-delay-analyzer` | `3_DDC_Insights/` |
*This is a selection of examples. The full collection contains 221 skills covering estimation, reporting, BIM, document processing, analytics, and more.*
---
## How to Use a Skill
```
1. Clone this repository
git clone https://github.com/datadrivenconstruction/DDC_Skills_for_AI_Agents_in_Construction.git
2. Open a skill folder in your AI assistant
cd DDC_Skills_for_AI_Agents_in_Construction/1_DDC_Toolkit/CWICR-Database/semantic-search-cwicr/
3. The assistant reads SKILL.md and generates the code for you
4. Review, adapt to your data, and run
```
### Example: ETL Pipeline
```python
# Automatic processing of all Excel files from a folder
import pandas as pd
from pathlib import Path
# Extract
all_data = [pd.read_excel(f) for f in Path("./estimates/").glob("*.xlsx")]
df = pd.concat(all_data)
# Transform
df['Total'] = df['Quantity'] * df['Unit_Price']
summary = df.groupby('Category')['Total'].sum()
# Load
summary.to_excel("summary_report.xlsx")
```
---
## Implementation Path
A typical automation project follows these stages. You don't need to do all of them — start with what solves your most pressing problem.
| Stage | What you do | Which skills help |
|-------|-------------|-------------------|
| **1. Audit** | List all data sources in your company (Excel files, databases, BIM models, PDFs, emails) | `data-silo-detection`, `data-source-audit` |
| **2. Classify** | Understand what data you have: structured, semi-structured, or unstructured | `data-type-classifier`, `data-profiler` |
| **3. Connect** | Build ETL pipelines to extract and normalize data | `etl-pipeline`, `ifc-to-excel`, `specification-extractor` |
| **4. Automate** | Set up recurring reports, alerts, and dashboards | `n8n-daily-report`, `kpi-dashboard`, `budget-tracker` |
| **5. Analyze** | Apply analytics and ML to find patterns and predict outcomes | `cost-prediction`, `schedule-forecaster`, `risk-assessment` |
Each stage builds on the previous one, but you can enter at any point depending on your current state.

## How Does It Work?

## Data Types in Construction
Construction data comes in three forms. Each requires a different processing approach, and each has corresponding skills:
```mermaid

subgraph STRUCTURED["STRUCTURED"]
S1[Excel]
S2[SQL Database]
S3[CSV]
end
subgraph SEMI["SEMI-STRUCTURED"]
M1[IFC/BIM]
M2[JSON]
M3[XML]
end
subgraph UNSTRUCTURED["UNSTRUCTURED"]
U1[PDF]
U2[Photos]
U3[Scans]
end
STRUCTURED -->|SQL queries, pandas| DB[(Central<br/>Database)]
SEMI -->|ifcopenshell, parsers| DB
UNSTRUCTURED -->|AI/OCR, pdfplumber| DB
DB --> AUTO[Automation & Analytics]
style STRUCTURED fill:#c8e6c9
style SEMI fill:#fff9c4
style UNSTRUCTURED fill:#ffcdd2
style DB fill:#e1f5fe
style AUTO fill:#f3e5f5
```
| Data type | Examples | Skills that process it |
|-----------|----------|----------------------|
| **Structured** | Excel, CSV, SQL databases | `etl-pipeline`, `estimate-builder`, `budget-tracker` |
| **Semi-structured** | IFC/BIM models, JSON, XML | `ifc-to-excel`, `rvt-to-excel`, `dwg-to-excel` |
| **Unstructured** | PDF documents, photos, scans | `specification-extractor`, `n8n-photo-report`, `document-ocr` |
---
## Prerequisites
| Requirement | Details |
|-------------|---------|
| **Python 3.9+** | Most skills use Python scripts |
| **AI Coding Assistant** | Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, or similar |
| **Basic Python knowledge** | Ability to run scripts and install packages |
| **Your data** | Excel files, PDFs, or BIM models to process |
Optional for advanced skills:

- OpenAI API key (for LLM-based skills)
### Installation
```bash
pip install pandas openpyxl ifcopenshell pdfplumber
```

## Data Flow in Construction
Skills cover the typical data pipeline: from raw input files to processed, actionable outputs.
```mermaid
flowchart LR
subgraph INPUT["📥 YOUR DATA"]
A1[Excel Estimates]
A2[Revit/IFC Models]
A3[Site Photos]
A4[PDF Documents]

A3 --> B3 --> C3
A4 --> B4 --> C4
style INPUT fill:#e1f5fe
style DDC fill:#fff3e0
style OUTPUT fill:#e8f5e9
```
Construction data comes in three forms. Each requires a different processing approach:
| Data type | Examples | How skills process it |
|-----------|----------|----------------------|
| **Structured** | Excel, CSV, SQL databases | Direct queries and transformations |
| **Semi-structured** | IFC/BIM models, JSON, XML | Parsing with specialized libraries |
| **Unstructured** | PDF documents, photos, scans | AI/OCR extraction to structured format |

## Potential Time Savings
Automation results vary depending on company size, data quality, and implementation effort:
| Process | Manual approach | With automation |
|---------|-----------------|-----------------|
| Find work item rate | Search through price books | Database query with filters |
| Daily report compilation | Collect data from multiple sources | Pre-configured data aggregation |
| IFC quantity extraction | Open model, measure manually | Script-based extraction to Excel |
| Budget variance tracking | Weekly spreadsheet updates | Scheduled comparison reports |
| Document organization | Manual folder sorting | Metadata-based classification |
*Results depend on data preparation and workflow complexity. See [GETTING_STARTED.md](GETTING_STARTED.md) for implementation guidance.*

## About the Book
**The majority of skills are based on the book ["Data-Driven Construction"](Books/)** — a methodology for digital transformation in construction. The book explains the reasoning behind each skill category: why data silos matter, how to classify your data, and what to automate first.
