Stop Losing Weeks Onboarding New Engineers Automate It and Reclaim 20+ Hours Per New Hire
You're probably thinking, 'Onboarding shouldn't eat up our project timelines.' Here's the thing: manual processes for bringing on structural engineers or site supervisors lead to delays in CAD reviews and safety certs. Our custom automation saves 15-25 hours per week on admin, cuts errors by 40%, and boosts your ROI by streamlining from contract to first site walkthrough.

Why Choose Us
Let's be honest, your onboarding isn't one-size-fits-all. We dive into your workflows—think permit approvals, CAD file shares, and crane operator certs—and craft a tailored AI system. It's not about slapping together apps; it's engineering a unified pipeline that auto-assigns tasks, verifies credentials, and syncs with your ERP. Short on time? We handle the build so you focus on deadlines. The result: a robust, owned system that scales with your projects, cutting the chaos of manual chases.
What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Time Savings That Hit Your Bottom Line Hard
Reclaim 20 Hours Per Week on Admin Drudgery
Reclaim 20 Hours Per Week on Admin Drudgery: Picture skipping the back-and-forth emails for concrete pour permits and scaffold training quizzes—our automation pushes them directly to mobile apps, so your foremen can focus on RFI resolutions during peak build phases. Firms report a 30% productivity surge, converting those hours into extra rebar inspections or assembly line tweaks, delivering immediate ROI on your next project milestone.
Cut Onboarding Costs by 35% with Error-Free Flows
Cut Onboarding Costs by 35% with Error-Free Flows: A single mistake in Form 300A filings can push back your steel erection schedule by a week. We automate OSHA verifications and e-filings integrated with your HRIS, slashing rework that racks up $5K+ per delay. This means quicker crew ramps on bridge builds or factory expansions, fewer audit penalties, and steady cash flow without surprise holds.
Boost Efficiency with Instant Project Access
Boost Efficiency with Instant Project Access: New hires log in to get tailored dashboards featuring Revit blueprints, certified vendor portals for HVAC suppliers, and site-specific safety briefs on fall protection. Ditch the chaos of shared drives or legacy file servers. This trims full productivity ramps from weeks to days, ensuring you hit deadlines on custom fabrication runs or high-rise framing without the typical 15% lag in output.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, onboarding a new structural engineer involved two weeks of chasing I-9 forms and MEP drawings for our tilt-up warehouse project—it was derailing our slab-on-grade timelines. Now, it's streamlined to three days with auto-sync to our Procore and Autodesk BIM 360, saving us 18 hours per hire and keeping our critical path on track without field delays."
Mike Rivera
Lead Engineer, BuildTech Constructors
"Our rotating shifts at the plant had us drowning in paperwork for forklift and welding certifications under OSHA 1910. AIQ's automation auto-flags missing docs and pushes updates to our ruggedized tablets via integration with Epicor ERP. We've halved onboarding from 10 days to 5, avoided two potential Lockout/Tagout violations, and kept production humming without compliance hiccups."
Sarah Patel
Operations Manager, Forge Manufacturing
"As a mid-sized firm, manual handovers for AutoCAD blueprint access were costing us big on modular prefab projects—new drafters took a full week to get up to speed. AIQ customized it to our Revit and Bluebeam workflows, so team members access specs and RFIs in under 4 hours. The ROI hit after onboarding our first three hires; we saved $12K in delayed bid submissions and accelerated our shop drawings phase."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this automation handle our varying project types, like civil vs. industrial engineering?
We start by mapping your specific workflows—civil might emphasize permit flows, while industrial focuses on machinery certs. Our custom build creates branched automations that adapt: for a bridge project, it prioritizes geotech docs; for a factory setup, it syncs with inventory systems. It's all tailored, integrating with your tools like Bluebeam for markups. We've done this for firms with mixed portfolios, saving them 22 hours per onboarding on average. No rigid templates here—it's built to flex with your bids and builds.
What if our team uses legacy software that doesn't play nice with AI?
Legacy systems are common in construction—think old ERP or CAD setups. We specialize in robust, two-way integrations using APIs or even custom bridges if needed. For instance, we once linked a 15-year-old accounting tool to modern project management for seamless invoice approvals during onboarding. It takes a bit more upfront work, but the result is a unified flow without forcing a full overhaul. Your data stays secure, and we test everything in simulated field conditions to avoid disruptions.
How secure is this for sensitive project data like blueprints?
Security is non-negotiable in engineering, where IP like structural plans can make or break bids. We build with end-to-end encryption, role-based access (e.g., new hires see only their project's specs), and compliance with standards like ISO 27001. Data never leaves your controlled environment unless you specify. In one rollout for a manufacturing client, we added audit trails that passed their external audits without a hitch. It's designed to protect against breaches while keeping onboarding smooth—no compromises.
Can we scale this as we hire more seasonal workers for big projects?
Absolutely—scalability is baked in. For seasonal surges, like ramping up for a large infrastructure job, the system auto-scales tasks and permissions without manual tweaks. We've handled this for a firm that doubled their engineer count during a highway expansion; it managed 15 onboardings in a week, cutting admin from 40 hours to 8. We monitor usage and optimize post-launch, ensuring it handles peaks without slowing your core ops.
What's the typical timeline to get this up and running?
From consultation to live, it's usually 4-6 weeks for a custom setup, depending on complexity. Week 1: We audit your current process, like how you handle subcontractor integrations. Weeks 2-3: Build and integrate with your stack. Weeks 4-5: Test with mock onboardings, including field simulations. Final week: Deploy with training. One engineering firm went live in under a month after we focused on their core pain of safety briefings. It's efficient because we avoid the bloat of generic solutions.
Do you provide ongoing support after launch?
Yes, we don't just build and bail. Post-launch, you get 3 months of hands-on support to iron out any kinks, like fine-tuning for new regulations. Then, optional maintenance packages ensure it evolves—say, adding modules for emerging tech like BIM workflows. Our clients in manufacturing appreciate this; one reported zero downtime over a year, with us updating for their annual cert changes. You're owning the system, but we're your long-term partner for tweaks.
