Paper to ledger

AI for construction reads your daily paperwork

Timesheets, delivery notes and subcontractor invoices read into your job costing, each approved by a person.

Bids and proposals

Draft bids built from your own past proposals

First drafts of bids are built from past proposals. An estimator corrects and prices them, keeping pricing safely with a person.

  1. 1

    Starts from your past proposals

    First drafts are built directly from the firm's past proposals, preparing the text for an estimator.

  2. 2

    Names the proposal it read

    Each drafted section names the specific past proposal it came from, leaving a clear trail.

  3. 3

    Pricing stays with the estimator

    Pricing always stays with a person. An estimator corrects and prices the drafts on a plan table.

Building your process takes three to six weeks

Builds for a single document type usually take three to six weeks. Second types go faster because review screens already exist. Build work is run remotely from Mount Pleasant.

  1. 1

    Follow one document type

    Build work starts by following one document from the gate to the ledger and measuring the current hours spent.

  2. 2

    Test on real site photographs

    Photographs from site have glare, shadow, folds and partial cover. Builds are tested against a few hundred real site photographs.

  3. 3

    Check handwritten quantities

    Handwritten quantities are tested against your own sheets on the review screen before moving forward.

  4. 4

    Write back to the system

    Write-back goes to whichever system holds the job, which may be accounting, costing or the project management tool.

  5. 5

    Review accuracy and spend

    Extraction accuracy and spend are reviewed on a set cadence after the build. Measured document sets test every later change.
