What Clients Say

"We were drowning in manual updates between our field tablets running Procore and our office ERP software—lost a whole week on one interstate bridge project due to mismatched rebar counts from drone surveys. AIQ Labs built us a custom sync tool that pulls geospatial data straight from our DJI drones into Revit models. Now, everything's in one place, and we've finished two infrastructure jobs ahead of schedule this quarter, saving 15% on labor."

Mike Harlan

Senior Project Engineer, Harlan Bridge & Infrastructure Constructors

"Forecasting deliveries for galvanized steel beams was a nightmare with our old Excel spreadsheets; we'd overorder by 15% every time on warehouse expansions. Their AI system analyzes our past RFQs, supplier lead times, and market volatility, and it's spot-on within 5% accuracy. Saved us $45K in excess inventory last year alone—no more storage headaches for our prefab shop."

Sara Lopez

Operations Manager, Precision Steel Fabricators Inc.

"Compliance reports for EPA wastewater permits and OSHA hazmat handling used to take our team days to compile from scattered site logs for audits. After implementing their custom AI dashboard, it generates everything automatically from IoT sensors on equipment. Passed our last unannounced inspection with zero findings on a $10M industrial plant, and the boss finally stopped breathing down my neck about paperwork delays."

Safety and Compliance Director, Reilly Industrial Engineering Group

Simple 3-Step Process

Step 1

Discovery and Workflow Mapping

We dive into your current processes, from CAD modeling to fabrication schedules, to pinpoint bottlenecks like delayed RFIs or inventory mismatches.

Step 2

Custom AI Design and Prototyping

Using your data, we prototype tailored automations—think AI that validates structural designs in real-time—ensuring it fits your multi-site operations like a glove.

Step 3

Integration, Testing, and Launch

We integrate with your existing tools, test under real field conditions, and hand over a fully owned system that scales as your projects grow.

Why We're Different

We build from code up, not just assemble no-code widgets, so your AI withstands the rigors of site dust and deadline crunches—unlike agencies that leave you with fragile setups.

True ownership means no ongoing subscriptions; we create assets you control, freeing you from the 'tool churn' that plagues 70% of engineering firms.

Our engineers have boots-on-the-ground experience in construction, so we get the grit of permitting delays and supply variances—no generic advice here.

Deep, two-way integrations with BIM software and ERPs ensure data flows smoothly, eliminating the 'sync failures' that cost teams hours weekly.

Scalable by design: starts small for your current crew size, expands for new contracts without rebuilding—perfect for growing SMBs hitting scaling walls.

Field-tested reliability: every solution undergoes on-site simulations, mimicking real weather impacts or crew shifts for zero surprises at launch.

ROI-focused from day one: we tie AI directly to metrics like material waste reduction, delivering measurable wins in your first quarter.

No vendor lock-in: unlike assemblers reliant on third-party APIs, our custom code lets you own and evolve the system independently.

Holistic workflow overhaul: we don't just add AI; we reengineer your entire pipeline, from bid estimation to punch lists, for end-to-end efficiency.

Proven in tough environments: our in-house platforms handle high-stakes scenarios like regulated manufacturing, ensuring your solution is production-ready out of the gate.

Common Questions

How does your custom AI handle the variability of construction sites?

Let's be honest, no two sites are alike—weather, crew changes, supply hiccups. We train our AI on your specific historical data, like past project logs from rainy seasons or vendor delays, to create adaptive models. For instance, it can predict steel delivery shifts based on traffic patterns near your yard. This isn't rigid software; it's flexible, like adjustable scaffolding, ensuring it molds to your workflow. We've seen firms cut delay-related costs by 25% after implementation. The key? We start with a deep audit of your operations, then iterate based on field feedback, so it's built tough for real-world chaos.

Can this integrate with our existing CAD and ERP systems?

Absolutely, and that's where we shine. You're probably thinking about the headaches of brittle connections breaking during crunch time. We engineer deep, two-way APIs that sync seamlessly—pulling CAD revisions into your project dashboard or pushing ERP inventory updates to site tablets. Take a mid-sized firm we worked with: their AutoCAD files now auto-populate material lists in their Sage system, slashing manual entry by 40 hours weekly. No superficial plugs; it's robust code that handles high-volume data without glitches, even on mobile networks at remote sites. We own the integration, so you avoid the subscription traps.

What's the timeline for building and deploying a custom solution?

It varies by complexity, but here's the thing: for most engineering firms, we deliver a MVP in 4-6 weeks, with full rollout in 8-12. We kick off with a quick discovery session to map your pain points, like takeoff inefficiencies, then prototype fast using agile sprints. Testing happens on a pilot project to mimic real conditions—think dust and deadlines. One client went live with their forecasting AI in under two months, immediately spotting a $10K overorder. We're ROI-driven, so we prioritize high-impact features first, ensuring you see wins early while we scale the rest.

How do you ensure the AI is accurate for our manufacturing processes?

Accuracy is non-negotiable in fabrication— a wrong tolerance can scrap an entire batch. We build models using your proprietary data, fine-tuning with machine learning on specifics like alloy behaviors or CNC tolerances. It's like calibrating a laser level: precise and iterative. For a manufacturing partner, we achieved 95% accuracy in defect prediction after training on their six months of weld logs, preventing $30K in rework. We include ongoing validation loops, where your team flags anomalies, and we refine in real-time. No black-box magic; transparent, field-tested AI that earns your trust through results.

What about data security for sensitive engineering blueprints?

Security is baked in from the foundation— we treat your IP like rebar in a high-rise. All custom systems use enterprise-grade encryption, compliant with standards like ISO 27001, and we host on secure, owned infrastructure (no shared clouds unless you specify). Access controls mimic your org chart, so only authorized engineers see proprietary designs. A construction client shared how our setup passed their cybersecurity audit with flying colors, safeguarding CAD files during remote collaborations. We also provide audit trails for every data touchpoint, giving you peace of mind amid rising cyber threats in the industry.

How much does a custom AI solution cost for an engineering firm like mine?

Costs are tailored, just like the solution—starting around $25K for core automations like inventory AI, scaling to $75K+ for full workflow overhauls. But let's focus on ROI: clients typically recoup in 6-9 months through savings on labor and errors. For example, a firm with 50 engineers saved $120K yearly by automating compliance checks. We break it down transparently: discovery is free, then fixed-price milestones tied to deliverables. No endless subscriptions; you own it outright, making it a smart capital investment that boosts your bid win rates and margins long-term.
