The answers that decide who is liable
are trapped in inboxes and PDFs.

RFIs, submittals, change orders, and daily logs carry real liability, and they live in email, PDFs, and shared drives instead of anywhere queryable. Crews work off outdated drawings, PMs re-key the same data across Procore, Bluebeam, and Primavera, and thin margins mean you cannot hire your way through the backlog.

McKinsey, Reinventing Construction (2017), reaffirmed 2020

~1% / yr

Construction productivity growth over two decades, among the worst of any major sector.

PlanGrid + FMI, Construction Disconnected (2018)

~$177.5B

Lost each year to non-optimal labour: rework, hunting for project data, and resolving conflicts.

AGC of America / Arcoro (2024)

94%

Of contractors cannot fill craft openings, so the backlog cannot be hired away.

Purpose-built AEC agents, defensible by design.

We start with one high-friction workflow and ship a governed agent for it, then expand. Each one cites its source drawing or spec and leaves a logged trail from day one.

RFI intake & routing

Classifies each RFI by discipline and spec section, routes it, and drafts a first-pass answer cited to the drawing.

Submittal review

Checks submittals against spec sections, flags deviations, and tracks approval through resubmittal and closeout.

Change orders & claims

Drafts cost and schedule justification, cross-references contract language, and builds the documentation a claim needs.

Daily field & safety

Summarises superintendent logs, flags OSHA-recordable events, and tracks progress against the CPM schedule.

Pay applications

Reviews G702/G703 against the schedule of values and checks lien waivers and subcontractor compliance.

The AI your architect-of-record and your GC risk team both sign off on.

Construction is one of the most litigious industries, and RFIs, submittals, and daily logs routinely become evidence. Every AI-assisted output is checked against the source drawings, consequential decisions get a human sign-off, and every input and output lands in a tamper-evident ledger.

Self-hosted, never trains a shared model

See a week of RFI backlog cleared in an afternoon.

EnvelopX replaced a manual, scaffolding-dependent inspection process with a governed agent, inspecting commercial building envelopes an order of magnitude faster, with a full logged record of every finding.

Questions, answered.

No. Drawings, models, and documents run in an isolated, self-hosted environment and never train a shared model. Every access is logged.

Bring us your most painful RFI, submittal, or change-order queue.

In one working session we will map the workflow, score the opportunity, and show you exactly how we would build it, logged and defensible. You leave with a prioritized plan, whether or not you work with us.

We only use this to prepare for your session. No spam, no data sharing.
