A toolkit for builders and contractors

01 · The problem

Generic AI didn't know the trade

On construction work the same gap kept showing up: off-the-shelf AI casts a wide net. It didn't know the codes, the scopes, or how a jobsite runs, so its output needed re-checking every time.

The patterns went into a kit, so the trust did not have to be rebuilt on each job: a construction roadmap for the AI to follow.

Before: Off-the-shelf AI did not know the codes or the scopes, so every answer needed re-checking.

02 · The goal

What we set out to move

AI answers a contractor can use without re-checking every one.

03 · How it was achieved

Quote, estimate, build SOPs, research code

  • Quoting and estimating

    Generates quotes and estimates grounded in real codes and jobsite data.

  • SOP builder

    Turns how a firm works into written, repeatable procedures the crew can follow.

  • Code research

    Answers code questions against the applicable references in minutes, with the citation attached.

04 · The solution

What works now

  • Quotes and estimates grounded in real codes and jobsite data.
  • Code questions answered in minutes, with the citation attached.
  • In beta at a builder, where estimates turn around in minutes.

After: Estimates and code answers come from real codes and jobsite data, with the citation attached.

The five steps and the controls

Grounded, and checkable

The kit works from real codes and jobsite data, and code answers come back with the citation attached so a person can check them.

Every task goes through the same five steps: capture, prepare, draft, approve, record. The model does the first pass. Nothing runs on its own until a named person has approved it, and a job runs by itself only after it passes a pilot. See the five steps

It is the kit a construction Company Build or Managed Retainer runs on. A builder runs the beta for estimating, code research and SOPs. It is built for construction first, and the framework carries outside construction too.
