Real Estate & Infrastructure
Confirmed delays, cost overruns, and contractor disputes on large-scale infrastructure projects, structured each month from project news, government audit reports, congressional records, and construction industry press. Each record includes the project name, state, original and revised budget where disclosed, cause of the overrun or delay, the delay duration (in days, weeks, or months), the responsible contractor, and the report date. Coverage spans road, rail, energy, water, and urban infrastructure projects in the United States, focusing on projects with an original contract value above $100 million.
US infrastructure project with original contract value above $100 million reported a confirmed delay, cost overrun, or contractor dispute
Infrastructure fund managers and project finance teams use it to benchmark contractor risk and track project stress signals. Government audit bodies and parliamentary committees use it as supplementary data for oversight. Construction insurers and bonding companies use it to monitor active project risk. Journalists covering public spending use it as a structured source of confirmed overrun events.

<h3>What project size threshold is used for inclusion?</h3><p>Projects with an original contract value above $100M are the primary focus. Smaller projects with particularly significant overruns relative to their scale are included where they are widely reported.</p><h3>Are private sector infrastructure projects included alongside public ones?</h3><p>Yes. Privately financed infrastructure (PPP, BOOT, and similar models) is included alongside publicly funded projects where overrun details are publicly disclosed.</p><h3>Which contractors appear most frequently in the dataset?</h3><p>Coverage is event-driven rather than contractor-ranked. Any contractor involved in a publicly reported overrun or delay is included regardless of company size.</p><h3>What is the refresh rate of this dataset?</h3><p>This dataset is refreshed monthly using <a href="https://www.newscatcherapi.com/web-search-api">CatchAll</a>, NewsCatcher's recall-first web search API. You can run your own version of this dataset and update it as frequently as every one hour.</p>
