cwicr-resource-analyzer
The CWICR Resource Analyzer extracts labor, material, and equipment data from the DDC database to calculate precise resource requirements and productivity metrics for construction projects. Use this skill when planning project resources, generating procurement lists, optimizing crew compositions, or analyzing resource efficiency against validated construction norms covering over 27,000 resources.

# CWICR Resource Analyzer
## Business Case
### Problem Statement
Construction projects require precise resource planning:
- How many labor hours are needed?
- What materials need to be procured?
- What equipment is required and for how long?
Traditional methods rely on experience-based estimates, leading to over/under allocation.
### Solution
Data-driven resource analysis using CWICR's 27,672 resources with detailed breakdowns of labor norms, material requirements, and equipment usage.
### Business Value
- **Accurate planning** - Based on validated resource norms
- **Cost optimization** - Identify resource inefficiencies
- **Procurement support** - Generate material lists
- **Labor planning** - Calculate crew requirements
