Peer-Reviewed Research

Four research papers under peer review.

The work underpinning Chronos Risk is currently under peer review at Q1 international journals in construction management, project management, and applied AI. Papers focus on quantitative risk modelling, regime detection, and portfolio-level contagion analysis.

I.

Cost regime detection using LSTM-copula architectures

II.

Portfolio-level risk contagion in construction projects

III.

Macroeconomic transmission to project-level cost dynamics

IV.

Machine learning frameworks for construction risk forecasting

Methodology

Three pillars of analysis.

The work approaches construction risk as a quantitative discipline - neither pure construction management nor pure financial modelling, but their intersection.

LSTM-Copula regime detection

Long Short-Term Memory neural networks combined with copula modelling to detect structural shifts in cost dynamics across commodity, labour, and financing inputs.

Portfolio contagion modelling

Quantification of risk transmission across construction projects using public procurement data from the Greek Διαύγεια portal - over 200 sampled projects feeding the contagion graph.

Cross-asset risk transmission

Joint modelling of construction cost factors with broader financial markets to identify exposure pathways from macroeconomic regimes into project-level outcomes.

Who This Is For

Built for institutional decision-makers.

Real estate developers and investment funds

Evaluating risk on individual projects and across portfolios at the underwriting stage.

Construction firms with portfolio exposure

Managing cost and schedule risk across concurrent projects and supply chains.

Financial institutions

Lending against construction projects, with exposure to cost overruns, regime shifts, and contagion effects.

Discovery Conversation

Twenty minutes. Confidential.

If you evaluate construction risk professionally, your perspective would meaningfully shape this research. The conversation is informal, confidential, and one-directional - I am here to listen, not to pitch.

Brief introduction by email is appreciated - your role, organization, and what drew you to the work. Scheduling is handled in the reply.
