How AI is Transforming Infrastructure Due Diligence — Insights from 30 Years in the Field
Mr DK Anand shares how technology is revolutionizing project feasibility analysis, drawing from his experience with Taj Hotels, Marriott, and India's largest infrastructure projects.
From Blueprints to AI: The Evolution of Project Assessment
When Mr DK Anand began his career engineering structures for Taj Hotels in the 1990s, feasibility studies meant months of manual site surveys, hand-calculated load analyses, and stacks of regulatory paperwork. Today, the same analysis can be done in hours — but only if you know what to look for.
“Technology speeds up the process, but it cannot replace the judgement that comes from standing on a site and understanding the soil, the wind, the water table,” says Mr Anand. “The best projects combine both.”
What 30 Years of Landmark Projects Taught Us
From the structural challenges of the Jal Mahal restoration to the precision engineering of Marriott properties, every project reinforced key principles:
- • Site matters more than design — 70% of project failures trace back to inadequate site analysis
- • IS Code compliance isn't optional — especially IS 1893 for seismic zones
- • Budget overruns are preventable — with proper upfront feasibility work
- • Green building pays for itself — IGBC-rated buildings command 8-12% higher valuations
