Open Data Integrator

Integrate open construction datasets. Combine open data sources for enhanced analysis

Overview

Based on DDC methodology (Chapter 2.2), this skill integrates open construction datasets from various sources like government databases, industry benchmarks, weather services, and geospatial data.

Common Use Cases

Fetch Material Prices

python

integrator = OpenDataIntegrator(region="US")

# Get material price indices
result = integrator.fetch_data("material_prices", {
    "materials": ["concrete", "steel", "lumber"]
})

print(f"Fetched: {result.records_fetched} records")
for record in result.sample_data:
    print(f"  {record['material']}: index={record['current']}, trend={record['trend']}")

Enrich Project Data

python

project = {
    "name": "Office Building",
    "materials": ["concrete", "steel", "glass"],
    "trades": ["carpenter", "electrician", "plumber"],
    "location": {"lat": 40.7128, "lon": -74.0060},
    "start_date": date(2024, 6, 1),
    "end_date": date(2024, 12, 31)
}

enriched = integrator.enrich_project_data(project)

print(f"Sources used: {enriched.sources_used}")
print(f"Confidence: {enriched.confidence:.0%}")
print(f"Material indices: {enriched.enrichments.get('material_price_indices')}")

Assess Weather Risk

python

risk = integrator.get_weather_risk(
    lat=40.7128,
    lon=-74.0060,
    start_date=date(2024, 6, 1),
    end_date=date(2024, 8, 31)
)

print(f"Risk Level: {risk['risk_level']}")
print(f"Rain Days: {risk['rain_days']}")
