Construction
You run tight projects. Your back office shouldn't be the thing that costs you margin.
Your best people stay on judgment and relationships - this is about the estimating and admin work you haven't hired for yet.
We build the estimating, sales, and operations systems that keep your pipeline full and your margin intact.
The Short Answer
The construction industry covers general contractors, sub-contractors, and specialty trades that plan, build, and remodel commercial, residential, civil, and infrastructure projects. Operationally it spans pre-construction estimating, bid and proposal management, project scheduling, subcontractor coordination, change-order tracking, RFI and submittal workflows, jobsite safety reporting, materials procurement, equipment fleet management, and progress billing. AI is increasingly applied to estimating accuracy, schedule risk modeling, document automation (RFIs, submittals, daily logs), safety video analytics, predictive maintenance on equipment fleets, and AR collection on long-cycle projects.
You Know This Problem
Sound familiar?
Estimating Bottlenecks
Your best estimators are the bottleneck on every bid. Manual estimating creates delays that cost you work.
Sales-to-Operations Handoff Failures
Jobs get won and the ops team finds out too late - or without the right context. Rework and scope surprises follow.
Subcontractor Management Overhead
Coordinating subs is a full-time job. Availability, compliance docs, communications - it's all manual and error-prone.
What We Build

System / Agent
What It Does
Estimating Workflow Automation
Streamline the estimating process so your best people spend time on judgment, not data entry.
Bid & Proposal Tracking CRM
A clean view of every active bid, with automated follow-up reminders and status tracking.
Sales-to-Ops Handoff System
Structured handoff from sales to project management - with full context every time.
Subcontractor Coordination System
Automated sub availability checks, onboarding, and communication management.
Change Order Management
Track, document, and approve change orders faster - with full audit trail.
Client Communication Agent
Proactive project updates sent to clients on schedule - no PM intervention needed.
Days → hours
Estimating turnaround when your best estimators stop doing data entry
$1M+/yr
Cost of the next 10 estimating and back-office hires as you take on more work (stated assumption, ~$100K loaded each)
4h+
PM time per week on status updates and admin, handed back (stated assumption)
The AI hype machine sells you tools. Your own reflex says post another req. Both leave you paying for the same slow process forever.
Your current team stays - this is about the roles you haven't posted yet. People do the judgment work; systems do the process work.
Stop buying hours. Start owning systems.
Featured Case Study
Real results in construction.
13% Efficiency Gain - Sales to Signature, Run by Agents
A candid note on fit: Production Theory is a Las Vegas custom fabrication studio, not a general contractor, but it runs the same configure-quote-build chain your estimating and project teams run on every bid - a custom quote off an intake brief, a signed agreement before work gets scheduled, and a project status that lives in someone's head unless it's pushed into the CRM by hand. Revenue Institute built the pipeline as one agent-run flow from quote to signature to CRM record, and the studio's operating efficiency rose 13% without adding administrative headcount - the same math a bid-heavy contractor is chasing.

Common Questions
Quick answers to what most construction leaders ask before we kick off.
When the work picks up we just hire another estimator or PM. Why systems instead?
Because the hire is the reflex and it's the one that eats your margin. Every vendor is selling you AI right now, and most of it is hype worth ignoring. But throwing another estimator or office hire at a slow process just locks in the cost. Ten more back-office hires runs roughly $1M a year in loaded payroll (a stated assumption at about $100K each), plus months of ramp, for estimating and admin a system runs once. Your best people stay on judgment and relationships; the system does the takeoff prep, follow-ups, and change-order paperwork. You move from staffing every busy season with more headcount to winning more work on the crew you already have. This is about the roles you haven't posted yet.
We've tried software before and it didn't stick. What's different?
Most software fails because it's generic. We build systems around how your specific business operates - not the other way around. Adoption is part of our implementation process.
Every project is different. Can AI handle the variability?
Yes. AI excels at pattern matching across variability. The more diverse your projects, the more opportunity there is to find consistent wins in the process - estimating, subcontractor management, client communication.
Will this work on a job site, not just in the office?
Yes. Field updates run through SMS, email, or whatever app your crews already use. We don't ask anyone to learn a new tool to do their job.
How long before we see margin impact?
First system in 30-60 days - the first milestone in a deployment arc that puts a working system in your business inside the first 100 days. The design target is measurable margin improvement inside a quarter - usually in change orders captured, RFI turnaround, or admin hours recaptured.
We use Procore, Sage, or Foundation. Do we have to rip that out?
No. We integrate with whatever you run today. Our job is to make those systems work together, not replace them.
What about subs and vendors who aren't on our systems?
We meet them where they are - email, PDFs, phone. The AI handles intake and structures it for your team. They don't change anything on their end.
How is this priced? Per project?
Flat engagement, not per-project. You own the systems we build. There's no per-bid or per-job fee that scales with your revenue.
