AI for builders

Building jobs run for weeks or months, which means a lot of writing: scopes, variations, progress updates and subbie coordination.

Where builders save the most time

  • Turning site walk-through notes into a clear scope of works.
  • Writing variation notices in plain English so clients understand what changed and why.
  • Weekly progress emails to clients drafted from a few bullet points.
