Join 150+ businesses with streamlined operations and 25% faster project delivery
The "Data Silo" Problem
Disjointed CAD models and ERP inventory data causing inaccurate rebar and concrete volume estimates for structural pours
Field crews working off outdated AutoCAD blueprints and Revit models, leading to costly on-site rework for MEP installations
Manual invoice matching for subcontractor change orders against accounting ledgers, consuming AP team hours on lien waiver verifications
Scattered safety logs across mobile apps and paper forms, complicating OSHA 300 compliance for crane operations and scaffold inspections
Predicting downtime for CNC mills and forklifts from fragmented CMMS records, risking overruns in fabrication shop schedules
Bid teams managing Excel spreadsheets for cost forecasting on precast concrete jobs, often overlooking steel price volatility from mill disruptions
Seamless Integration That Ties Your Engineering World Together
With over a decade in construction tech, we've helped 50+ engineering firms build AI systems that handle the chaos of job sites and shop floors
Why Choose Us
Let's be honest, you're probably thinking your tools are fine, but here's the thing: disconnected systems are like pouring concrete without rebar—looks solid until the first stress test. At AIQ Labs, we start by mapping your exact workflow, from Revit models to Procore updates. Then, we craft a unified AI platform that pulls data from every corner—CAD files, inventory trackers, even weather APIs for site planning. No more hunting for the latest revision. It's a single source of truth, custom-built to fit your firm's scale, whether you're a 20-person civil engineering outfit or a mid-sized manufacturer churning out steel beams. We use advanced frameworks to ensure it's scalable, not some fragile patch job.
What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Centralized Operations That Drive Real ROI
Streamlined Project Workflows
Picture this: AI auto-syncs your Revit engineering designs with field tablet updates from Trimble devices, slashing change order disputes by 35% on commercial builds. No more back-and-forth emails—everything flows in real time via a unified BIM dashboard, keeping your timelines tight and budgets intact for multi-phase projects.
Smarter Resource Forecasting
We build predictive models using historical data from past bridge retrofits to forecast rebar tonnage or welder labor gaps, reducing overstock by 25% and preventing those last-minute rushes to steel fabricators that kill margins on infrastructure jobs.
Error-Proof Compliance and Reporting
Automated checks against IBC building codes and OSHA fall protection regs mean fewer violations and faster audits for high-rise sites. Engineering firms we've worked with report closing monthly Form 300A reports in days, not weeks, freeing up your structural team for actual load-bearing design work.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ, our team wasted 15 hours a week reconciling Revit blueprint revisions with our SAP ERP for foundation pours. Now, the AI handles it seamlessly—cut our rework costs by $40k last quarter on a warehouse expansion alone. It's like having an extra civil engineer on the payroll."
Mike Harlan
Senior Project Engineer, Apex Civil Engineering & Construction
"We were drowning in manual inventory checks for steel beam fabrication runs on our shop floor. Their custom integration pulled data from our Haas CNC machines and Procore suppliers into one dashboard. Stockouts dropped 60%, and we're hitting deadlines without the overtime chaos on assembly line projects."
Sara Lopez
Operations Manager, ForgeTech Steel Manufacturing
"Integrating AI for bid predictions was a game-changer on our highway infrastructure tenders. It factors in real-time lumber and asphalt prices from RSMeans data, so our estimates are spot-on. Won three big contracts this year that we might've lowballed before—ROI was immediate with a 20% margin boost."

Simple 3-Step Process
Discovery and Workflow Audit
We sit down with your engineers and site leads to uncover pain points, like mismatched Revit files or delayed material logs. This maps your unique needs—no cookie-cutter audits here.
Custom AI Design and Build
Our team engineers the integration, connecting your tools into a unified platform. Think AI that auto-flags discrepancies in structural calcs or predicts delays from weather data—tailored to your projects.
Deployment and Optimization
We roll it out with training for your crew, then monitor and refine. Over the first three months, we tweak based on real job site feedback, ensuring it scales as your firm grows.
Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does AI integration handle the variability of construction projects?
Construction isn't cookie-cutter, right? That's why we design our AI to adapt to your specific workflows, like varying site conditions or custom fab runs. We start with your historical project data to train models that predict things like concrete pour delays based on weather and crew schedules. For manufacturing, it could mean optimizing CNC queue times around rush orders. The result? A flexible system that learns from each job, reducing surprises by up to 30%. We've seen engineering firms use this to shave weeks off timelines without adding headcount. It's all custom-coded to fit your operations, ensuring it scales from small retrofits to massive infrastructure builds.
What if my firm uses legacy software like older versions of AutoCAD?
Legacy tools are common in engineering—think those battle-tested systems that keep humming despite the years. We specialize in bridging old and new without a full overhaul. Our team creates secure, custom APIs to pull data from your AutoCAD files into the unified platform, then feeds it to modern AI for analysis. No ripping out what works; instead, we enhance it. For instance, one client with 15-year-old ERP integrated it seamlessly, gaining real-time inventory visibility that cut excess steel stock by 20%. We test everything rigorously to avoid downtime, so your projects stay on track.
How secure is the data in your integrated AI systems?
Security is non-negotiable in construction and manufacturing, where IP like proprietary designs or bid strategies is gold. We build with enterprise-grade encryption and compliance in mind—think SOC 2 standards and role-based access so only authorized engineers see sensitive CAD revisions. Data stays on your servers or secure clouds, with AI processing that anonymizes personally identifiable info. We've helped firms pass strict audits for government contracts by embedding automated logs for every data touchpoint. Bottom line: Your unified platform is fortified like a well-reinforced structure, protecting against breaches while enabling smooth data flow.
Can this integration work for both office-based engineers and field teams?
Absolutely—bridging the office-to-field gap is where we shine. Our solutions include offline-capable mobile apps that sync when connectivity returns, perfect for remote sites with spotty signals. Engineers in the office get detailed dashboards for design reviews, while foremen access simplified views for daily logs, all pulling from the same truth. Take a bridge project we integrated: Office teams monitored progress via AI-flagged variances, and field crews updated via voice notes that auto-populated reports. This cut miscommunications by 40%, keeping everyone aligned without extra meetings.
What's the typical timeline and cost for AI integration?
Timelines vary by complexity, but for most engineering firms, we deliver a core integration in 8-12 weeks—starting with a quick audit, then building and testing phases. Costs? It's custom, but expect $50k-$150k for a full workflow unification, depending on your tools and scale. That's often recouped in 6-9 months through savings like 25% less admin time or fewer bid errors. We're ROI-driven, so we provide a detailed projection upfront. One manufacturing client saw payback in four months after automating inventory forecasts, turning a fixed cost into a growth accelerator.
Will I need to train my team extensively on the new system?
We keep it straightforward—no steep learning curves that disrupt your rhythm. Our platforms mimic familiar interfaces, like integrating naturally with your existing Procore or Bluebeam setups. We include hands-on training sessions, tailored to roles: Quick 2-hour overviews for field teams on mobile updates, deeper dives for engineers on analytics. Post-launch, we offer a support hotline and iterative tweaks based on feedback. Firms we've worked with report teams up to speed in under a week, with adoption rates over 90% because it's built around their daily habits, not forcing new ones.
