Why This Tool Exists
General contractor estimating teams manually read specification books and drawing sets to build scopes of work, then compare incoming trade bids line by line to check coverage. The process is slow, error-prone, and scope gaps discovered after award become costly change orders.
AI models extract scope items from uploaded specifications and drawings, generate trade packages, and level submitted bids against the extracted scope to flag gaps and exclusions. The vendor claims 98% match accuracy, scope ready in under an hour, and roughly 50% time savings in preconstruction.

Cloud platform that reads a construction project's contracts, drawings, specifications, RFIs, and communications across connected systems (SharePoint, Procore, Outlook, etc.), answering questions with citations to the exact source page or revision, auto-drafting recurring reports and compliance checks, and converting site voice notes into structured diary entries, RFIs, and variations.
AI platform that indexes an AEC firm's contracts, drawings, specifications, RFIs, and BIM models so teams can query project knowledge instantly and validate submittals against requirements. Uses a computer-vision pipeline to parse drawing sets and a construction-domain-tuned LLM to answer questions and flag scope conflicts before construction begins.
Y Combinator-backed (F24) AI company whose current flagship product automates Division 8 (doors, frames, and hardware) takeoffs and estimating for commercial construction, cross-referencing door schedules, floor plans, hardware specs, and elevations to flag discrepancies before a bid goes out. The company's original 2024 product (marketed at fresco-ai.com) was a broader generative-AI documentation copilot that turned superintendents' site-walk videos and photos into reports and punch lists; that jobsite-documentation use case appears in early press coverage but is not featured on the company's current Division 8 marketing site (fresco.build).
