Orchestrate multiple AI agents for construction workflows: estimator, scheduler, document, QA and safety agents coordinated by a supervisor agent, with human checkpoints.

  • Works in 4 steps: Data spine first — all agents read/write… → Human checkpoints — binding numbers… → Deterministic validation — QA uses… → …
  • Automating end-to-end project processes with agentic AI
  • SKILL.md covers Why agents now, Agent roles, Coordination patterns and Guardrails, plus 1 more section
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

AI Agent Orchestration is an agent skill from datadrivenconstruction/DDC_Skills_for_AI_Agents_in_Construction. Orchestrate multiple AI agents for construction workflows: estimator, scheduler, document, QA and safety agents coordinated by a supervisor agent, with human checkpoints. Use when automating end-to-end project processes with agentic AI.

Its SKILL.md is about 680 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Multi-agent orchestration. The repository describes itself as: 221 AI skills for construction: BIM analysis, cost estimation, scheduling, document control, and automation with Claude Code. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Automating end-to-end project processes with agentic AI
  • Tasks that involve Multi-agent orchestration

Example prompts

  • “/ai-agent-orchestration”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Data spine first — all agents read/write the same ERP data (BOQ, tasks, cost items); no agent keeps private state.
  2. Human checkpoints — binding numbers (prices, contracts) always pass a human gate.
  3. Deterministic validation — QA uses arithmetic and rules, not LLM judgement, for reconciliation (e.g. qty × price = cost, markup…
  4. Idempotent actions — every agent action is re-runnable (the ERP import is idempotent on (code, region); use it as the model).

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ce45bbf. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • github.com
    • anthropic.com

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

AI Agent Orchestration loads about 679 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 65 tokens; SKILL.md has 255 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~65
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~679

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

AI Agent Orchestration for Construction (2026)

Why agents now

2026 construction automation is agentic: not single prompts, but specialized agents that own a domain (estimating, scheduling, documents, QA, safety), share a common data spine (the ERP + CWICR cost bases), and are coordinated by a supervisor with human checkpoints.

Agent roles

AgentOwnsTools it calls
Estimator agentBOQ + costCWICR search, QTO, market catalogs, costs API
Scheduler agentTime (4D)task graph, dependencies, critical path, resource leveling
Document agentSpecs & contractsPDF/OCR extraction, clause NER, submittal/RFI routing
QA agentQualityvalidation rule packs (DIN276/NRM/GAEB), reconciliation checks
Safety agentHSEchecklist generation, incident classification, regulations lookup
Supervisor agentOrchestrationroutes tasks, resolves conflicts, escalates to humans

Coordination patterns

Supervisor ──► Estimator ──► BOQ draft ──► human approves
    │              ▲
    ├──► Document ──► scope extracted (specs) ─┘
    ├──► Scheduler ──► draft schedule from BOQ quantities
    └──► QA ──► validate BOQ + schedule, report violations
  1. Data spine first — all agents read/write the same ERP data (BOQ, tasks, cost items); no agent keeps private state.
  2. Human checkpoints — binding numbers (prices, contracts) always pass a human gate.
  3. Deterministic validation — QA uses arithmetic and rules, not LLM judgement, for reconciliation (e.g. qty × price = cost, markup conventions).
  4. Idempotent actions — every agent action is re-runnable (the ERP import is idempotent on (code, region); use it as the model).

Guardrails

  • Never let an agent invent a price: unpriced bases stay rate 0 until a market sheet exists.
  • Confidence-scored matches below threshold go to a human.
  • Log every agent decision with its inputs (the ERP's usage ledger pattern).
  • EU AI Act (2024/1689): construction estimation assistance is low/limited risk, but keep human oversight for safety-critical decisions.
