Increasing climate volatility could mean no tower cranes on Monday due to high winds, but having to hand out sun blocker on Wednesday. Can unexpected weather events be more, well, expected and the resulting disruption planned for? EHAB thinks its WeatherWise platform is the key.

With Digital Construction Week in full swing, DC+ caught up with EHAB CEO and founder Josh Graham.

DC+: You’ve got two minutes: what problem does your technology solve and how does it do it?

Josh Graham: EHAB solves the costly and disruptive problem of weather risk across construction and infrastructure projects. In an era of increasing climate volatility, traditional methods of weather risk management – based on gut feel or historical averages – are no longer sufficient. Projects consistently face budget overruns and scheduling delays due to unexpected weather events, costing billions annually.

Our WeatherWise platform tackles this by integrating advanced predictive analytics with automated risk assessments tailored to construction timelines. Using sophisticated probabilistic modelling and historical data analysis, we provide hyper-accurate impact forecasts of weather-related downtime, enabling contractors and developers to proactively manage and mitigate those risks.

Users set custom thresholds based on their project’s specific sensitivities – like wind, rain, temperature extremes or humidity – and WeatherWise creates a long-term model. Risks can be identified years in advance and actionable insights are provided, empowering teams to adjust schedules, allocate resources and implement contingency measures before disruptions occur.

By transforming weather risk from an unpredictable obstacle into a proactively managed factor, WeatherWise significantly reduces financial losses, minimises delays and enhances overall resilience – enabling projects to finish on time and on budget, and sustainably adapt to climate realities.

OK, you’ve got my attention: who’s tested or already using your tech and what are the results?

WeatherWise has been adopted and tested by leading construction firms including Balfour Beatty, EllisDon, Kier, BAM, Morgan Sindall and Skanska, alongside infrastructure megaprojects like HS2. These partnerships validate WeatherWise’s real-world effectiveness in managing and mitigating weather risk, 200-plus projects and counting!

Across multiple projects and geographies, clients consistently report reduced delays, more robust time risk allowance contingency, better decision-making capabilities and substantial cost savings, demonstrating the value of the WeatherWise software and process in construction and infrastructure resilience.
