Our Solutions
Turn Construction Document Complexity Into Your Competitive Advantage
When your critical project documentation exceeds what standard AI can handle, you’re left with manual searches, missed insights, and costly delays. We specialize in making massive construction document sets work seamlessly with AI—delivering the speed, accuracy, and cost-effectiveness your team needs.
The Challenge You Face:
- Specifications too large for standard AI tools (15+ volumes, 5,000+ pages)
- Manual searches taking 15-45 minutes when answers are needed in seconds
- AI tools that hallucinate or miss critical details buried in cross-references
- RFI backlogs stalling progress and frustrating owners
What We Deliver:
- Speed: Sub-second responses instead of 15-45 minute manual searches
- Accuracy: Precise answers with exact spec section citations for audit trails
- Cost: 50-70% lower processing costs compared to brute-force approaches
- Scale: Handle documents from thousands to hundreds of thousands of pages seamlessly
Construction-Specific Solutions
Instant Specification Lookup
Your Challenge: Identifying the right spec section across 15 volumes takes 15-45 minutes per query. Junior staff don’t know where to look. Senior staff are constantly interrupted.
Our Solution:
- Semantic search optimized for CSI MasterFormat structure
- Automatic recognition of Divisions 00-49 and section numbering
- Cross-division relationship mapping
- Natural language queries (“What’s the concrete strength for elevated slabs?”)
Your Results:
- 95% time savings on spec lookups
- 67 hours saved per person per month (at 200 lookups/month)
- $33,500/month team savings (5 people at $100/hr)
Automated Cross-Referencing
Your Challenge: Modern specs reference other sections, drawings, standards (ASTM, ANSI), and codes (IBC, NFPA). Manual cross-referencing takes 30-60 minutes per query.
Our Solution:
- Automatic indexing of all cross-references
- Relationship mapping between specs, drawings, and standards
- Complete answers with all relevant cross-references in single query
- Drawing sheet and detail reference resolution
Your Results:
- 30-60 minute process reduced to 10-second response
- Complete context without missing related requirements
- Fewer scope gaps from missed cross-references
Intelligent RFI Correlation
Your Challenge: RFIs often ask questions already answered in specs—but finding the answer requires deep knowledge of all 15 volumes.
Example: “What is the required fire rating for corridor walls on Level 2?”
Manual Process: Check architectural specs (Division 09), fire protection specs (Division 07), code requirements (IBC), drawings (wall types), cross-reference fire rating requirements. Time: 1-3 hours.
Our Solution:
- Ask the question directly
- Get comprehensive answer citing all relevant sources
- Spec Section 09 22 00: “Corridor walls shall be 1-hour rated”
- Drawing A-201: “Level 2 corridors designated as Type 1HR”
- IBC Section 1020.1: Code requirement context Time: 5-10 seconds
Your Results:
- 60% faster RFI responses
- Fewer “clarification” RFI cycles
- Better answers = fewer change orders
Code Compliance Verification
Your Challenge: Ensuring spec compliance with IBC, IFC, NFPA standards, local amendments, energy codes (IECC, ASHRAE), and accessibility standards (ADA, ICC A117.1). Manual verification takes hours and is prone to errors.
Our Solution:
- Index all applicable codes
- Cross-reference specs against code requirements automatically
- Identify potential conflicts
- Flag missing requirements
Example Query: “Verify fire alarm system specs comply with NFPA 72 and local amendments”
Result:
- Comprehensive compliance analysis
- Specific citations to code sections
- Identified gaps or conflicts
- Time: 2-3 minutes vs. 2-3 hours manually
Your Results:
- Comprehensive compliance verification across 500+ code requirements in minutes
- Early identification of code conflicts saving $50K-200K in redesign costs
- 40-50% reduction in plan review cycles and resubmissions
Change Order Impact Analysis
Your Challenge: A single change ripples through specs, drawings, and related systems. Missing one impact = costly change order.
Example: “If we change from cast-in-place to precast concrete for parking structure, what other specs are affected?”
Manual Analysis: Review structural specs, check architectural finishes, review waterproofing, check MEP coordination, identify submittal impacts, review schedule implications. Time: 4-8 hours, often incomplete.
Our Solution:
- Identifies all related spec sections
- Maps dependencies and cross-references
- Surfaces drawing coordination requirements
- Flags submittal and procurement impacts Time: 2-5 minutes, comprehensive
Your Results:
- Fewer missed impacts = fewer surprise change orders
- Faster change order pricing = better negotiations
- Comprehensive analysis = better project decisions
Our Approach: Specialized AI Techniques
We don’t use one-size-fits-all solutions. We match the right technique to your specific document characteristics and needs—often combining multiple approaches for optimal results.
Fast Search Across Massive Documents (RAG)
How It Works: We create a searchable index of your entire document collection with semantic understanding. When you ask a question, we instantly retrieve only the relevant sections and feed them to the AI—delivering precise answers with exact citations.
Best For:
- Well-organized documents with distinct sections (specs, contracts)
- Applications requiring citations and audit trails
- Cost-sensitive deployments where API usage matters
- Question-answering and fact-finding use cases
Technical Approach:
- Semantic chunking that preserves context boundaries
- Multi-modal embeddings for text, tables, diagrams, and scanned PDFs
- Hybrid search combining semantic similarity with keyword precision
- Full citation trails linking responses to exact sources
Understanding Connections Across Documents (GraphRAG)
How It Works: We build a knowledge graph that captures entities, relationships, and hierarchies from your documents. Instead of just finding similar text, we understand how concepts connect—enabling reasoning across complex document networks.
Best For:
- Documents with complex cross-references
- Multi-document analysis requiring relationship understanding
- Compliance checking with interconnected requirements
- Change impact analysis with cascading dependencies
Technical Approach:
- LLM-powered entity and relationship extraction (95%+ accuracy)
- Custom construction domain ontologies
- Efficient graph traversal optimized for LLM context windows
- Seamless integration with RAG for retrieval + reasoning
Executive Summaries With Drill-Down Detail (Multi-Layer Summarization)
How It Works: We build hierarchical document understanding with multiple abstraction layers—from high-level themes down to specific details. Users can start with summaries and drill down progressively to find exactly the detail level they need.
Best For:
- Documents requiring both overview and detail
- Exploratory analysis of unfamiliar specs
- Executive decision-making with supporting detail available
- Multi-document synthesis
Technical Approach:
- RAPTOR (Recursive Abstractive Processing for Tree-Organized Retrieval)
- Domain-tuned hierarchies matching CSI MasterFormat structure
- Query-driven layer selection (broad queries → overviews, specific → details)
- Entity linking across levels to preserve traceability
Hybrid Solutions: Combining Approaches
The Reality: Most real-world construction challenges benefit from combining multiple techniques strategically.
Multi-Layer + RAG (Construction Specifications): Hierarchical overviews for navigation, precise retrieval for details. Start with spec division summaries, drill to exact sections—perfect for RFI responses.
RAG + GraphRAG (Spec Cross-References): Fast semantic search enhanced with relationship understanding. Find specific sections AND understand how they connect to drawings, standards, and other specs.
Semantic + Keyword Search (Code Compliance): Vector search for conceptual matches, keyword search for precise terminology. Catch both “substantially similar” language AND exact code citations.
