AI for construction

AI for construction companies that would rather not build the reports.

Custom AI agents and private knowledge systems that cut site paperwork, speed up document search and keep cost and compliance information where your team can reach it.

Where the time goes

The job is won on paper and delivered on paper. Most of it is copied between systems by hand.

01

Supplier invoices and valuations matched by hand against purchase orders and delivery notes

02

Drawings, specifications and RAMS spread across email, SharePoint and the document controller

03

Subcontractor insurance, CSCS and accreditation certificates tracked in spreadsheets that lapse quietly

04

Variations and RFIs logged late, so cost exposure only becomes visible once it has happened

How we solve it

We build around the systems you already run, from the accounting package to the document store, and leave the decisions to your team.

Custom AI systems & agents

Less manual invoice and valuation checking

Match invoices to purchase orders and delivery notes, flag quantity and rate variances, and route only the exceptions to a person with the reason attached.

Custom AI systems & agents

Catch certificate gaps before they stop a job

Read certificates as they arrive, extract expiry dates and coverage levels, and chase the ones about to lapse before a subcontractor is turned away at the gate.

Custom RAG & domain LLMs

Find the current drawing, spec or method

Ask in plain English and get the document, revision and page, helping your team avoid working from a superseded instruction.

Custom RAG & domain LLMs

Tender from what you have already built

Bring past projects, subcontractor rates and programme lessons into a first draft of a quotation, leaving your estimator to review rather than start blank.

Custom AI systems & agents

Site paperwork that reaches the office

Pull delivery notes, checklists and daily reports into one record, so the office stops chasing photos of paper from twelve sites.

Project stories

What this could look like in your business.

M&E contractor · Greater Manchester

Accounts checks the exceptions, not every line.

Two people in the accounts team of an M&E contractor match supplier invoices by hand against purchase orders and delivery notes in Sage. It is slow, and things slip through.

A custom AI agent now does the matching and drops anything that doesn't line up into a shared inbox with the reason attached, like 'quantity invoiced 40, delivered 36'.

Each supplier's invoice format needed tuning during the pilot. Anything the agent isn't sure about stays with accounts for review.

Accounts spend their time on the exceptions, and duplicate or overpriced lines get caught before payment.

Industrial distributor · West Midlands

Quotes that don't wait for Dave.

A second-generation fixings and industrial supplies business. Dave has been there 22 years and holds most of the customer pricing in his head. When he's on holiday, repeat quotes stall at the counter.

We connected an assistant to their existing CRM and five years of order history. Anyone on the counter can ask for a customer's last price on M10 resin anchors and pull up the order it came from.

The product codes needed cleaning up before the answers could be trusted, so that came first. Dave still handles the tricky quotes himself.

Repeat quotes no longer wait for one person to be back at his desk.

What to measure

Agree the targets. Test the improvement.

These are measures for a pilot, not claimed client results. We agree your starting point and targets during discovery, then review the evidence with your team.

Time spent on site paperwork

Hours lost chasing, copying and rekeying documents between site and office.

Cost visibility between valuations

How early variances and unlogged variations show up in your numbers.

Time to find a method or specification

Minutes from a question on site to the current document in front of someone.

Quote turnaround

Days from enquiry to a reviewed quotation going out.

Systems we connect
SageXeroQuickBooksSharePointExcelAconexProcorePlanRadarOutlookAnything with an API

We build around the tools you already run. Anything with an API or a database is fair game, with access and scope agreed during discovery.

Who this is for

The common thread is documentation: many sites, many trades, and records that have to line up afterwards.

  • Main contractors and housebuilders running several schemes at once
  • M&E and specialist subcontractors with heavy invoice and certificate loads
  • Civils and infrastructure teams working to strict document control
  • Commercial and quantity surveying teams carrying the cost reporting
How we work

Discover, build, evaluate, operate.

01

Discover

Start with the task taking too much time. We look at the data, the systems and the constraints, then agree a starting point and the measures that show whether it worked.

02

Build

We build a focused version on one high-value problem, with the boundaries, permissions and approval points your team needs.

03

Evaluate

Your team compares the result against the agreed starting point. Gaps and teething problems are reviewed together before a wider rollout.

04

Operate

We monitor quality, cost and drift, then extend the system where it earns its place in the workflow.

FAQs

Questions, answered.

What the system does, what stays with your team, and how your data is handled.
