CASE STUDY CONSTRUCTION

Your project files. One question away.

We built a custom AI assistant for a construction firm that reads every blueprint, RFI, submittal, change order, and contract on the job — then answers field and office questions in plain English, in seconds, with the source page cited.

Six hours back per project manager, every week. Try it live below.

Project-isolated. Never trained on. Never leaves your tenant.

Ask the Project Assistant.

Live demo running against real indexed project documents. Ask a question — spec lookups, RFI history, change orders, contract clauses — and every answer comes back with clickable source citations.

THE PROBLEM

If this is your week, we built this for you.

Construction projects generate thousands of pages of documents. Specs. Drawings. RFIs. Submittals. Change orders. Daily reports. Contracts. Most of it lives in PDFs across multiple systems. None of it is searchable in any way that matters.

"I know we answered this RFI two months ago. Where is it?"

Your PM digs through 400 PDFs across three platforms. 45 minutes later, they find it. Multiply by every question, every day.

Field crews waiting on the senior PM

The super needs to know what the spec says about pour temperature. The senior PM is in another meeting. Work stops. Money burns.

Onboarding a new PM is a 6-month ramp

They can't read fast enough to know everything that's been decided. Until they do, every question routes to the same two people who actually know.

Mistakes that should never happen

A change order from week 4 contradicts a spec the team is building from. Nobody catches it until inspection. Now you're re-pouring a column.

WHAT IT DOES

Ask it anything. Get an answer with a source.

Type or ask out loud, from any device. The assistant searches every document on the project at once, gives a direct answer in plain English, and cites the exact file and page so your team can verify.

What's the spec for the bolts on the steel canopy?
3/4″ A325 high-strength structural bolts, hot-dip galvanized. Tensioned to 28 kips per AISC connection detail S-401.
Source: Structural Spec 05 12 00, p. 14 + Detail S-401
Has anyone asked about the mechanical penetrations on level 2 yet?
Yes — RFI #87 (March 14) covers it. Answered by architect on March 19: penetrations to be sleeved per detail M-201 with fire-rated assembly.
Source: RFI Log, items #87 + #102
List every change order over $25K from the last 60 days.
Three items: CO-014 (foundation upsize, $48,200), CO-017 (electrical panel relocation, $31,500), CO-022 (mech room re-routing, $26,900). Total: $106,600.

What does the contract say about weather delays?
Section 8.3 allows day-for-day extension for documented adverse weather exceeding 5 days/month from NOAA local station data. Notification required within 7 days.

HOW IT WORKS

From your file folder to answers in three steps.

Setup is usually one week. We do the work, your team gets a finished tool.

INGEST

We pull in every project file

Drawings, specs, RFIs, submittals, change orders, daily reports, contracts, addenda — PDFs, CAD exports, Excel, the works. From SharePoint, Procore, Box, OneDrive, or a flat folder. One-time setup.

INDEX

AI reads and structures the whole library

Drawings are OCR'd. Specs are parsed. RFI threads are linked. Cross-references built. Every document becomes searchable not just by keyword but by meaning. New files sync automatically.

ANSWER

Your team asks. It answers. With receipts.

Browser, phone, or chat tool you already use (Teams, Slack). Every answer cites the source file and page. Wrong? Click the citation, open the file, verify in one tap.

New PMs answer their own questions instead of routing every one to a senior. Reach productive in weeks, not months.
WHO IT'S FOR

Useful for anyone who touches the files.

Every role on a construction project deals with project documents differently. The assistant adapts to what each one actually needs.

Your files. Your control. Your tenant.

Built for construction firms that care about contractual confidentiality. We don't train on your data, ever. Your project library lives in your own cloud tenant, encrypted at rest and in transit.

  • Project-isolated — one project's files can't leak into another's answers
  • Role-based access — subs see what they should, not what they shouldn't
  • Full audit log of every question asked and answered
  • Your IP, your contracts, your competitive data — never leaves your tenant
BUILT FOR BUILDERS

Want one of these for your projects?

Most builds take 3–6 weeks from kickoff to your team using it daily. We do the work. You keep the tool. No vendor lock-in.
