Industrial Intelligence · Construction & Building
AI for construction & building firms in South Africa.
Tender documents summarised before the deadline panic. Subcontractor claims processed without the paper shuffle. Site diaries digitised as they're written. We automate the admin between site and head office.
The work is world-class.
The paperwork is from 1997.
The hidden machinery is always the same: spreadsheets, paper, WhatsApp threads, and your most experienced people doing data entry. In construction & building, it looks like this —
Tender documents run to hundreds of pages — and deciding whether to bid takes a week nobody has.
Subcontractor claims arrive in every format except the one your QS needs.
Site diaries live in notebooks and WhatsApp photos until someone retypes them.
Head office finds out what happened on site days after it happened.
This is not a technology problem. It's a margin problem. And it is now solvable.
Applied Intelligence
What we automate for construction & building
Tender summarisation
Tender packs read and summarised into scope, risk and deadlines — so bid/no-bid takes an afternoon, not a week.
Subcontractor claims
Claims captured from whatever format they arrive in, structured for your QS to assess instead of retype.
Site diary digitisation
Diaries and site photos captured as they're made, filed against the project, searchable from head office.
Diagnose first.
Automate what pays.
Four services, one system. Month-to-month, like everything we build.
AI Ops Diagnostic
We map how your business actually runs — quoting, invoicing, job tracking, customer comms — and hand you a report that prices your admin waste in Rands and ranks what AI can eliminate. No obligation to build anything. You keep the map.
For builders, the diagnostic maps tendering, claims and the paper trail between site and head office — priced per month.
Process Automation
Automated quoting from drawings and specs. Invoice and delivery-note capture. Digital job cards. Tender document processing. Follow-ups that never forget. Your team approves; the machine types.
For builders this usually starts with tender document summarisation, then subcontractor claims and site diaries.
WhatsApp AI Assistant
Your customers already live on WhatsApp. An AI agent that quotes standard items, answers product questions, gives live job status, and hands complex conversations to a human — 24/7, in the languages your customers use.
Answers subcontractor and client queries, collects site updates and photos, and hands disputes to a human.
Custom AI Systems
Production planning agents. Stock forecasting. Internal copilots trained on your drawings, price lists and history. Engineered bespoke when the shelf runs out.
Bid/no-bid engines and programme copilots trained on your past tenders, claims and site records.
The Flow
From Waste to Working Capital
One process at a time, measured against a baseline. No big-bang IT project. No year of workshops.
Diagnostic
We map your processes and price the waste. One report, everything in Rands.
Pilot
We automate the single highest-value process first. Live in weeks, not quarters.
Proof
We measure hours recovered against a baseline. If the numbers don't hold, you cancel. Month-to-month.
Scale
Automation by automation, until the admin runs itself and your people run the business.
Straight Answers
The objections, answered
“Our work is too specialised for AI.”
Good. Specialised is exactly where generic software fails and bespoke systems win. We build against your actual documents, price lists and processes — nothing off a shelf.
“My team isn't technical.”
If they can use WhatsApp, they can use what we build. The machine adapts to your people, not the reverse.
“We've been burned by IT projects before.”
So has everyone. That's why there are no lock-ins, no year-long contracts, and no invoice before you've seen the diagnostic. We've operated on month-to-month terms since 2017 for a reason: the work has to justify itself every month.
“What about our data?”
Your price lists, drawings and customer records stay yours, hosted on infrastructure we control in enterprise-grade environments. Nothing trains public models.
