About

About this work

Information governance is usually written about by technologists, and contractual risk allocation by lawyers. The two literatures rarely meet — which is precisely where projects fail.

Built Intelligence is the methodology practice of Daniel Esmeral Jaramillo: a Colombian-trained attorney with more than ten years of practice in real estate operations, construction law and corporate law, and a Master of Science in Building Construction and Facility Management from the Georgia Institute of Technology (Technology concentration).

He is a co-author of Schedule Delay in Construction Delivery Methods Under Extreme Uncertainty, published in the peer-reviewed proceedings of the 34th Annual Conference of the International Group for Lean Construction (Lean Theory track, pp. 655–667, DOI 10.24928/2026/0315, Scopus-indexed, open access), and contributed to a digital twin framework for the West Parking Garage at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport using the Autodesk Tandem platform, and to a value engineering study of power infrastructure for a 150 megawatt hyperscale data centre in Atlanta.

The perspective here comes from both sides at once, and from having built and operated the governance structures described rather than only specifying them on paper.

How this work is structured

Methodology, published openly. The core output is a body of synthesis documents consolidating public standards into application-ready form. Everything is free to read, quote and adapt with attribution. Nothing is gated.

Applied validation. Methodology that never meets a real project stops being useful. Selected applied engagements serve as validation pilots — information governance assessment, risk allocation review across delivery methods, BIM execution planning, construction-to-operations continuity strategy. What they surface is fed back into the published frameworks, and the revised version is published in turn.

Scholarly contribution. Continuing research in collaborative construction delivery, building on peer-reviewed work in lean construction and schedule risk.
