AI-Powered Construction Intelligence Platform
12 views. 4,800+ lines. 1 engineer. Zero dependencies.
ERGON is a standalone construction project oversight platform built as a single HTML file with an optional Python server for AI-powered analysis. It gives project stakeholders (investors, managers, site supervisors) real-time visibility into construction progress, budget, risks, and workforce — all from a browser.
No frameworks. No build tools. No npm install. Just open the file.
Designed and built by a single engineer using Claude as a development partner, ERGON demonstrates what's possible when domain expertise meets AI-native software development.
| # | View | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Dashboard | Executive KPIs: progress %, budget status, workforce, alerts |
| 2 | Progress (Avance) | Physical progress tracking with S-curve (Earned Value) |
| 3 | Budget (Presupuesto) | Cost control: planned vs actual, deviation analysis |
| 4 | Alerts (Alertas) | Risk matrix with severity, owner, and deadline |
| 5 | Weather (Clima) | Weather impact tracking on construction schedule |
| 6 | Schedule (Cronograma) | Gantt chart with baseline comparison and critical path |
| 7 | Contractors (Contratistas) | Subcontractor performance: progress, cost, compliance |
| 8 | Attendance (Asistencia) | Daily workforce tracking with notes |
| 9 | Photos (Fotos) | Site photo documentation with timeline |
| 10 | Daily Log | Structured daily construction reports |
| 11 | BIM Viewer | IFC model viewer (Three.js + web-ifc) |
| 12 | Documents (Documentos) | Document management and version control |
- Earned Value Management (EVM): Full CPI/SPI calculations with S-curve visualization
- AI Agent Panel: Optional Claude integration for natural-language queries about project data
- Voice Input: Web Speech API for hands-free daily log entries (Spanish-Paraguay)
- PDF Export: Client-side report generation via jsPDF
- BIM Integration: IFC file viewer with element tree, properties, and 3D navigation
- Zero Dependencies: Server runs on Python stdlib only — no pip install required
- Responsive Design: DG Design System (Slate/Cream palette, Inter font, SVG icons)

| Decision | Rationale |
|---|---|
| Single HTML file | Portability — runs anywhere, even offline |
| No build tools | Zero friction for construction professionals |
| Python stdlib server | Works on any machine with Python installed |
| Client-side PDF | No server needed for report generation |
| Web Speech API | Voice notes on construction sites (noisy environments) |
ERGON was built as the technology layer for a construction oversight service in Asuncion, Paraguay. The target market is residential tower developments ($2-15M projects) where investors need real-time visibility into progress, budget, and risks.
The platform was developed by a single engineer (civil + software) using Claude as a pair programmer — demonstrating the 1 human + AI model for building production-grade domain software.
- Frontend: Vanilla HTML5 + CSS3 + JavaScript (no React, no Vue, no Angular)
- Charts: Canvas 2D API (no Chart.js, no D3)
- 3D/BIM: Three.js + web-ifc (CDN)
- Backend: Python 3.10+ (stdlib only)
- AI: Anthropic Claude API (optional)
- Design: Custom design system (DG Palette)
DG Ingenieria SRL is a one-person engineering firm in Paraguay building AI-native tools for infrastructure: construction oversight (ERGON), aeronautical calculations (SkyPathPro), road design (MARCO), and pavement analysis.
Model: 1 engineer + AI = capacity of 10-15.
