AI consulting for construction.
Construction documents are a lot of paper, and most of it is structured under the surface. AI is genuinely useful when it understands plans and specs the way a senior PM does.
The work construction firms run by hand.
These are the operations we've seen compress the most when construction firms hand them to a well-built AI workflow — measured against the actual hours your team spends, not a vendor demo.
- 01
Submittal tracking, RFI logs, and document-control flow
- 02
Plan and spec review for bid prep and estimation
- 03
Daily logs, punch lists, and field-to-office reporting
What we typically ship.
Real workflows we've built for construction firms. The right starting point for your team will be one of these — or a remix.
- 01
Submittal & RFI agent
Reads spec sections to generate submittal registers, drafts RFIs from field photos and notes, and tracks status across Procore, PlanGrid, or Autodesk Build.
- 02
Bid-prep assistant
Ingests plans and specs, extracts quantities and scope, drafts a bid package for the estimator to refine. Cuts estimator pre-pass time by half on well-scoped jobs.
- 03
Daily-log & punch agent
Field crews dictate or photograph; the agent writes daily logs, punch items, and weekly owner reports in the format your office expects.
Discovery → Pilot → Production.
Every engagement starts with a one-week sprint — audit, ADR, and a written go / no-go on the operation you want to hand to AI. Roughly one in four pilots gets killed at that step; that's the point.
If we move to a build, you ship a single end-to-end agent on real data inside three to six weeks. We hand off repo, prompts, and runbook. Retainers exist for care and growth — never for lock-in.

- Does this work with Procore, Autodesk Build, Buildertrend?
- Yes — Procore is our most-shipped; Autodesk Build, PlanGrid, and Buildertrend all integrate via their APIs. We don't replace the platform you're paying for.
- Can AI read drawings and shop drawings reliably?
- Modern vision models read drawings well for many tasks (quantity takeoff approximations, callout extraction, dimension parsing) and poorly for others (high-fidelity calc work). We are explicit about what's AI-decided vs. estimator-decided.
- How is this different from the AI features built into Procore?
- Procore's AI is generic and built for breadth. We build narrow agents that match your standards, your bid book, and your PM voice. If their built-in AI does what you need, use it. If you've measured and found gaps, that's where we come in.
Send us your most expensive operation.
We'll have an audit on your desk in five days.
One PDF. No deck. No obligation. We'll tell you whether AI is the right answer for it — and if it is, we'll quote the build the same week.
