AI consulting for construction companies

First pass quantities and pricing from your drawings and your own priced jobs. The estimator reviews and owns the number.

• Quantities taken off your drawing sets against the elements your estimators already use. Low confidence items are listed first.
• Rates pulled from the jobs you priced and won, with the source job shown beside each one.
• The draft lands in your own template or in the head contractor schedule.
• Site leads send a description and photos over WhatsApp for a small job and get a draft back from your cost catalogue.

The same scope rebuilt into each client template, with past tenders and pricing precedents pulled up while you price the new one.

• Bid or no bid scored from the tenders you won and lost, with the past bids behind the recommendation.
• Every mandatory form, schedule and certificate pulled from the tender pack into a compliance matrix with an owner.
• Sections on methodology, quality and work health and safety drafted from submissions you have lodged. Each paragraph shows the bid it came from.
• Responses laid out in the buyer schedule and pricing in the workbook they issued.

Requests from site drafted into purchase orders against your preferred suppliers. Subcontractor quotes compared against the scope.

• Ask why a supplier was chosen over another on a past job and get the documents that decided it.
• Gaps and exclusions in each subcontractor quote listed against the scope before the buyer compares them.
• A scorecard of what each supplier charged, delivered on time and got wrong, built from your own purchase history.
• Insurance certificates, licences and safety documents filed against each subcontractor and chased when they lapse.

Supplier invoices coded to jobs and cost codes, matched to the order, with price variances flagged before payment.

• PDFs, scans and email invoices read on arrival and checked for the fields the ATO requires on a tax invoice.
• Coded to the job and cost code from your supplier history and the purchase order, split across jobs where one invoice covers several.
• Price, quantity and total checked against the order and what was received. Variances land in one queue with the reason attached.
• Supplier statements reconciled against your ledger. The check finds missing invoices, duplicates and unclaimed credits.

Progress claims and variations checked against the contract and the approved variation register before they go out.

• A draft claim built from the job sheets, dockets and materials delivered in the period.
• A variation missing from the approved register is flagged before the claim is served.
• Contract rates applied at claim time rather than retyped from the tender.
• Unpaid claims followed up on a schedule in your own words, with a person approving every message before it goes.

Scope notes, RFIs and past project records made searchable on your own servers, with each answer citing its document.

• Ask what the scope said about temporary works on a job from 2022 and get the answer rather than a list of files.
• A contract administrator can open the source document and check any answer.
• Site diaries, marked up drawings and photographed dockets are harder to read than office PDFs. We quote that as a separate piece of work.
• A private model on your own servers. The documents it reads stay inside the business.
