Alabama construction firms are losing margin to admin overhead — daily reports, sub coordination, compliance docs, and change orders that take hours instead of minutes. I build AI tools that cut that time down, and stay on monthly to keep them working.
The problem
Construction margins are already thin. The admin overhead eating into them is largely automatable. Here's where the time actually goes.
Weather, crew count, work completed, issues — the same information entered manually every afternoon. An AI tool can generate a draft from a 2-minute voice note.
By the time a change order is documented, someone's already done the work and you're arguing about who approved what. A structured workflow fixes this before it becomes a dispute.
Scheduling, certifications, insurance docs, lien waivers — chasing subs for paperwork is something a well-designed system can handle automatically.
Pulling scope sheets, specs, and pricing from past jobs to build a new bid shouldn't take a full day. AI can generate a first draft from your project history in minutes.
What I build
Built for your workflow, your documents, your subs. Not a generic project management tool you have to adapt your business to fit.
Superintendent speaks or types a brief summary. AI generates a formatted daily report, logs it to the project file, and emails it to the GC — in under 3 minutes.
Most requestedChange request comes in via text, email, or form. It gets logged, routed for approval, tracked, and filed — with a clear paper trail from first request to signed document.
Enter the project details. AI pulls relevant scope language, specs, and pricing from your past bids and generates a structured first draft. Your estimator refines, not rebuilds.
Insurance certs, W-9s, lien waivers — the system tracks what's current, what's expiring, and automatically requests renewals before they become a compliance problem.
Toolbox talks, incident reports, and safety checklists generated from templates and logged automatically. Keeps you audit-ready without adding paperwork to the foreman's day.
Actual vs. budget by project, labor cost trends, subcontractor spend — all in one view built from your existing data. See where you're bleeding before the project closes.
How it works
I don't come in with a slide deck. I come in with questions. The work starts after I understand your specific operation.
30 minutes. You walk me through what's grinding. I find where time and money are actually going.
One specific problem, one tool, one clear price. No 10-step roadmap. We start with what hurts most.
I build it and train your PM and office staff. The goal is that it runs without me needing to be on-site.
I stay on. Fix what breaks. Find the next thing. Less than one part-time admin hire.
Compared to other industries, construction still lags in technology adoption. The firms closing that gap are taking margin from the ones that aren't.
