WHY IT EXISTS

Why This Tool Exists

The Problem

Construction teams spend 3-5 hours per RFP, contract, or specification manually reviewing complex legal documents to identify risks, flag missing information, and understand obligations. Without automated review, teams miss critical payment terms, insurance requirements, and indemnification clauses that create financial exposure. Legal disputes arise weeks or months into projects due to overlooked contract provisions. Specialty contractors and subcontractors lack access to legal expertise for document review, leading to poor bidding decisions and change order disputes.

The Solution

AI-powered platform that analyzes contracts, RFPs, and specifications in 10 minutes using CrunchAI™, which combines construction-specific training data with large language models (OpenAI/Anthropic) and retrieval-augmented generation. Platform identifies critical clauses, flags risks, summarizes documents in plain language, and provides expert-built guidance. Integrates with Procore (daily insights to field teams) and Microsoft Word (in-document analysis and redlining). Reduces contract review time by up to 80% while ensuring comprehensive risk coverage.
