RFI Formulated & Verified

Drawings cross-referenced, code citations attached, and design workarounds proposed.

2

PCO Cost / Schedule Flagged

If an RFI involves a potential change order (>$5,000) or critical path risk, it pauses for PM review.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything General Contractors Need to Know

Clear answers on Procore integrations, CSI MasterFormat spec parsing, submittal compliance, and change orders.

How does the AI draft RFIs from jobsite photos and voice notes?
Superintendents can send a voice memo or jobsite photo via Slack/Teams or mobile app. The AI identifies the location, cross-references project blueprint coordinates and CSI spec divisions, and generates a formal, code-compliant RFI draft with proposed solutions.
Can it review subcontractor submittal cut-sheets against spec books?
Yes. The AI extracts technical specifications from vendor cut-sheets (e.g. ASTM tensile strength, fire ratings, CFM airflow, warranty lengths) and compares them line-by-line against your project specification book, generating an automated review stamp and itemized deviation log.
How does it integrate directly into Procore and Autodesk Construction Cloud?
Using official 2-way REST APIs, the AI syncs with your active Procore or Autodesk ACC project. It creates RFI drafts, updates submittal logs, and synchronizes drawing revisions in real time.
How long does onboarding a new construction project take?
Connecting your Procore account takes under 15 minutes. Ingesting full project drawing sets and 50-division CSI specification books takes approximately 1–2 hours.
