What Clients Say
"Before AIQ, we were drowning in manual scheduling for our 15 carpentry and painting crews—delays cost us two weeks on a kitchen remodel last summer due to mismatched plumber arrivals. Now, everything syncs automatically through the app, and we've cut overtime by 40% on our $100K+ residential jobs. It's like having an extra project manager without the $80K salary."
Mike Rivera
Owner, Rivera Residential Construction (Serving Phoenix metro area, specializing in kitchen and bath remodels)
"I used to spend Fridays reconciling invoices from lumber suppliers and hardware stores; it was a nightmare during our peak spring season for deck builds. Their custom system pulls it all together in minutes via integrated scans, and we caught a $5K overcharge on cedar siding materials last month. ROI was immediate—worth every penny for our small team of six handling 20 jobs a year."
Sarah Chen
Operations Manager, Chen Home Builds LLC (Bay Area specialists in outdoor renovations and additions)
"As a general contractor handling commercial kitchen renos and office fit-outs, client change requests for fixture placements were chaos via texts and calls amid tight deadlines. The AI workflow we built tracks them flawlessly with photo uploads and approvals, reducing disputes by half and avoiding $10K in rework costs. We've taken on 20% more jobs this year without adding staff, scaling from 15 to 18 projects annually."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this automation handle the unique chaos of construction sites?
Construction is unpredictable—weather, supply delays, last-minute changes. Our custom AI is built to thrive in that environment. We start by mapping your specific processes, like coordinating framers and electricians on a tight deadline. The system uses predictive algorithms trained on historical project data to anticipate issues, such as auto-rescheduling if rain hits. For a mid-sized contractor, this means fewer callbacks and a 25% drop in idle time. Unlike generic tools, ours integrates directly with field apps like PlanGrid, ensuring data flows from the job site to your office without manual input. We've seen teams save 15 hours weekly on coordination alone, letting foremen focus on quality work rather than paperwork.
What if I already use software like Buildertrend or CoConstruct?
No problem—we specialize in bridging existing tools without disruption. Our team audits your current setup, identifying gaps like manual data transfers between scheduling and invoicing. We then engineer deep, two-way integrations that pull in real-time updates, such as crew progress from Buildertrend directly into automated payroll. This creates a single source of truth, eliminating errors that cost contractors an average of 10% in overruns. For one client using CoConstruct, we automated change order approvals, cutting processing time from days to hours. It's all custom-coded for reliability, so your workflow feels native, not bolted-on.
How long until I see a return on this investment?
Most clients hit positive ROI within 3-6 months. We focus on high-impact areas first, like automating timesheets and material orders, which alone can save 20 hours weekly at $50/hour labor rates—that's $4,000 monthly recouped. Industry benchmarks show general contractors waste 30% of time on admin; our systems reclaim that, boosting billable hours. Take a recent project: a 50-employee firm saw $120K in annual savings from reduced errors and faster billing. We provide a detailed ROI projection upfront, based on your revenue and pain points, ensuring the build aligns with your cash flow needs.
Is this secure for sensitive project data and client info?
Absolutely—security is non-negotiable in contracting, where you're handling blueprints, budgets, and personal details. We use enterprise-grade encryption and comply with standards like SOC 2, plus construction-specific regs for data privacy. Your custom system runs on secure, owned infrastructure, not shared clouds prone to breaches. Features include role-based access, so field crews see only job-relevant info, while admins get full oversight. We've audited systems for firms dealing with government contracts, ensuring audit trails for every change order. In one case, this prevented a potential $50K dispute by logging all approvals immutably.
Can this scale if my business grows from residential to commercial jobs?
Yes, our architectures are designed for growth. Starting with your current scale—say, 10 crews on home remodels—we build modular components that expand effortlessly. Add commercial bids? The AI adapts to handle larger budgets, multi-phase timelines, and more subcontractors without rebuilds. We've scaled solutions for contractors doubling revenue in two years, maintaining 99.9% uptime even during peak seasons. It's like reinforcing a foundation: solid from day one, ready for taller structures. Clients report seamless transitions, with efficiency gains compounding as job volume increases.
What happens if I need tweaks after launch?
Support is baked in—we're partners, not vendors. Post-launch, we offer a 90-day optimization phase with bi-weekly check-ins to refine based on real usage, like adjusting AI thresholds for supply alerts. Beyond that, our maintenance ensures your system stays current with industry shifts, such as new building codes. For a contractor we worked with, a simple tweak to vendor integration saved an extra 5 hours weekly after the first quarter. No nickel-and-diming; updates are proactive to keep your operations humming.
