For Construction Firms & Main Contractors

Tenders, subbies, RAMS, retentions. All chased while you're on site.

AI back-office for UK construction firms — main contractors, fit-out, M&E, civils, housebuilders. Handles tender enquiries, subbie & supplier comms, RAMS & PQQ chasing, and the invoice + retention chase that always slips. Plugs into Procore, Buildertrend, Causeway, Sage Construct, Xero and WhatsApp. Live in 48 hours.

Conversations are handled by AI agents trained on your firm's voice, project rules and PQQ library. Anything tied to a binding price, programme date or formal variation always gets human sign-off — the AI never commits the firm without you.

What we automate

Five things every main contractor & mid-tier construction firm asks us to take off the office.

📨

Tender & enquiry intake

Every inbound enquiry — web form, email, LinkedIn, referral — gets answered the same hour with capability statement, relevant case studies and a qualifying question set (value, programme, location, procurement route). Goes/no-goes flagged for commercial director review next morning.

📋

PQQ & RAMS chasing

Tracks every open PQQ, ITT, SQ, RAMS & pre-construction info request. Polite chase sequences to subbies/suppliers + internal nudges to your QS & project teams when deadlines slip. PQQ-on-time rate lifts from 64% to 92% in month one.

👷

Subbie & supplier comms

Day-to-day "where are the drawings?", "when's pour day?", "is the lift in?" subbie WhatsApps answered from your project programme + drawing register. Routine queries cleared without the PM's phone going off. Anything material flagged into the project comms log.

💷

Invoice & retention chasing

Stage applications, valuation chases, retention release at PC + final account — sequenced WhatsApp/email with statutory late-payment language (Construction Act / Late Payment of Commercial Debts Act 1998). Days-to-pay falls from 67 to 32 in the first quarter. Retention pots stop sitting forgotten.

📞

Switchboard triage

Site office calls answered, routed by project & trade. Subbie payroll queries to accounts, design queries to PM, defects to aftercare, sales to BD. After hours, urgent site issues escalate to the duty manager — routine stuff queued for 7am.

Built for CDM, CIS & the Construction Act — not Silicon Valley

UK construction has hard rules. The AI knows them — and where its limits are.

🦺

CDM 2015 awareness

The AI doesn't sign off RAMS, method statements, F10 notifications or designer/principal-contractor duties — it chases them, logs them and escalates gaps. Health & safety queries always get routed to a competent person, never AI-answered.

🧾

CIS, retention & Construction Act

Subbie CIS status checks, retention tracking with the right contractual notice language (interim & final), payment notice / pay-less-notice timelines aligned to HGCRA 1996 + LPCRA 1998. Statutory interest escalation built in.

🔒

UK-hosted, isolated, audited

UK data residency, per-firm isolation, no shared training. Drawing registers, programme dates and commercial-in-confidence data never leave your tenancy. Every conversation logged for project audit trail.

Pricing built for UK contractors, not enterprise SaaS

No per-project fee. No per-PQQ surcharge. Upgrade or downgrade any month.

Honest answers

Five things commercial directors & MDs always ask before signing.

Can it actually talk to subbies on WhatsApp without making us look daft?
It answers routine programme & drawing queries in your firm's voice — "drawings are on Asite, rev C, latest is Tuesday", "pour day Thursday weather-permitting, here's the access map". Anything that needs a commercial decision (variation, daywork, programme slip with cost impact) gets routed to the PM or QS with a one-line summary, never AI-answered. Your subbies see one number, get answers in minutes, and stop ringing the PM at 7am.
What stops the AI accidentally committing us to a price or programme date?
Hard rule: the AI never commits the firm to a binding figure, programme date or variation. It can quote your published rates card, it can confirm dates that are already in the programme, and it can chase. Anything outside that — a new price, a programme change, a formal variation, a defect ownership call — gets queued for human sign-off with a draft response ready. We've built it the way a junior PM gets supervised, not the way Silicon Valley builds chatbots.
How does the retention chasing actually work without ruining the relationship?
Three-stage, tone-matched to the client: gentle reminder at PC + 30 days, firmer at PC + 60 days with reference to the contract retention clause, formal pay-less / notice language at PC + 90 days aligned with HGCRA 1996 + Late Payment of Commercial Debts Act 1998 if still unpaid. Every message goes through your QS for a one-tap "send" approval the first month, fully automatic after. Average retention release time drops from 8 months to 3.
We work with frameworks & portals (Bloom, ESPO, YPO, CCS). Can it monitor those?
Yes, on the Group / Multi-Site tier. Monitors framework portals you're on (Bloom, ESPO, YPO, CCS, NHS SBS, LHC, etc.) for relevant lots / DPS / mini-comps, surfaces the ones that fit your capability & geography, and pulls the PQQ / RAMS pack into the chase queue. Doesn't bid for you — surfaces & tracks, your BD & commercial teams write the bid.
How long does setup take and what do you need from us?
48 hours from contract signed. 2-hour Zoom to capture firm voice, project list, programme access (Procore / Buildertrend / Causeway / Sage Construct credentials), subbie list, capability statement, PQQ library, rates card and escalation rules. We connect WhatsApp Business, your finance system, your project tool and your shared inbox. You're live the next morning. First fortnight every reply is silently QS-reviewed; voice tweaks land overnight.

The PM's phone shouldn't be the bottleneck.
