AI and automation for the business of building
For contractors, trades, suppliers, and manufacturers who want clearer numbers, faster quotes, and less time lost to paperwork.
Common challenges
across the building industry
Financial visibility
Most businesses find out what a project or order really made weeks after it’s done. By then, it’s hard to know what’s left to reinvest.
We connect your accounting, labour and material costs so you see how each project or order is tracking while it’s still in progress. An AI assistant spots the patterns across your work and answers your questions in plain language.
Change orders and order changes
Extra work gets agreed to on site, or a spec changes after an order is placed. Then it never makes it onto an invoice.
Your team sends a voice note or a photo from the site or the shop floor. AI turns it into a change order, so the paperwork is done the same day and the work gets billed.
Estimating and quoting
The first quote in often wins the work. When quotes depend on one person and one spreadsheet, you can only take on so much.
AI reads your drawings, specs and past work to draft a first quote. The person who knows your numbers reviews it and makes the call.
Scheduling and coordination
One late delivery, a production delay or a rainy day can shift the whole week. Fixing it usually means a morning of calls and texts.
When something moves, an AI agent works out who’s affected and sends the updates. The office, the shop and the field work from the same information.
Company knowledge
Your best people carry years of know-how. When they retire or move on, most of it leaves with them.
We turn that know-how into an AI assistant your team can ask, like how you price a custom order or which supplier to call. New hires get up to speed faster.
Businesses acrossthe building chain
Architects and engineers
Architects and engineers lose hours to revisions, RFIs, and project paperwork that pull them away from design. We help you track every change, answer routine questions faster, and keep project files where your team can find them.
Manufacturers
Windows and doors, trusses, and other building components mean custom quotes, tight production schedules, and plenty of back and forth. We help you quote faster, keep orders accurate, and see the real cost of each run.
Suppliers and distributors
Your customers want quick answers on pricing, stock, and delivery. We automate the routine questions so your team can focus on the orders that need attention.
General contractors and builders
From the first estimate to the final invoice, we help you see what each project is making and bill for every change.
Specialty trades
Roofing, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC crews juggle lots of jobs with margins that disappear in the details. We help you quote, schedule, and track each job without adding hours in the office.
Property managers and owners
Once the building is finished, the work shifts to tenant requests, repairs, and rent. We help you handle the routine requests automatically and keep each unit’s history in one place.

An AI assistant for your numbers
Ask about your jobs the way you’d ask your bookkeeper. The assistant looks across every project at once, so it catches the patterns you don’t have time to look for.
Training for crews and office teams
We start with AI literacy, so everyone understands what these tools can and can’t do. From there, we focus on the tools that fit your work. Training is available in French or English.
