Why Choose Us
Let's be honest—you're probably thinking, 'Another tool to learn?' Not with us. At AIQ Labs, we craft a bespoke AI system that plugs right into your workflow, pulling live data from your estimating software, supplier APIs, and even weather forecasts for site delays. No more piecing together quotes like a shaky scaffold. We build it custom, so it fits your exact process, whether you're framing houses or pouring foundations. Here's the thing: this isn't off-the-shelf. It's engineered for construction realities, saving you time and headaches while stacking up real ROI.
What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Time and Cost Wins That Hit Your Bottom Line
Slash 15-20 Hours Weekly on Quote Prep
Slash 15-20 Hours Weekly on Quote Prep for Jobs Like Commercial Framing: Picture this: your estimator isn't buried in blueprints all day. Our AI handles digital takeoffs from CAD files, crunches rebar and drywall quantities, and spits out polished quotes. That's hours back for site visits or family time, translating to a 25% productivity boost. No more overtime just to meet a bid deadline—your team stays sharp and on the job, whether pouring foundations or assembling prefab components.
Boost Bid Accuracy and Win Rates by 30%
Boost Bid Accuracy and Win Rates by 30% on Projects Involving HVAC or Structural Steel: Manual errors? Like pouring concrete without rebar—disastrous. We automate pricing pulls from suppliers for items like copper piping or galvanized beams and factor in labor rates tailored to your region's union scales. Result: quotes that are spot-on, winning more contracts without the underbid regrets. Clients tell us their close rate jumped after ditching guesswork, especially on tight-margin manufacturing runs.
Realize ROI in Under 3 Months with Cost Cuts
Realize ROI in Under 3 Months with Cost Cuts on Material Waste and Overhead: You're ROI-driven, right? Our system pays for itself fast by trimming admin waste in takeoff software and spotting profitable bids early through predictive analytics on steel fabrication timelines. Expect 20% lower quoting costs and better margins on wins, like reducing overages on a $500K warehouse build. It's like upgrading from a leaky toolbox to a precision laser level—efficient, reliable, and game-changing for your cash flow in volatile markets.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ, quoting a mid-size commercial job with custom steel framing took my team two full days—measuring beams from blueprints, pricing amid lumber spikes, revising for overtime rates. Now, it takes under two hours, and we've landed three extra contracts this quarter alone, including a $1.2M office retrofit. The custom tweaks for our union labor rates were a lifesaver, preventing any underbidding on welding crews."
Mike Rivera
Senior Estimator, BuildRight Construction, Midwest Regional Division
"We were losing bids left and right because our spreadsheets couldn't keep up with steel price swings from global tariffs. After implementing their AI quote tool, errors dropped to zero, and we're saving about 18 hours a week on prefab module estimates. It's integrated perfectly with our field apps like Procore—no more double-entry headaches for on-site adjustments to concrete pours."
Sarah Chen
Operations Manager, Apex Builders Inc., Industrial Manufacturing Arm
"Honest talk: I was skeptical about AI in construction, but this system nailed our site-specific add-ons, like soil testing fees and erosion control for a sloped site we always forget. Cut our quote time by 70% from days to hours and helped us bid smarter on a $2M school project we won last month, factoring in local permitting delays that saved us from costly revisions."

Project Director, Harlan Framing Co., Commercial Woodworking Specialists

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this automation handle fluctuating material costs in construction?
Great question—material prices can swing wildly, like lumber during supply chain hiccups. Our AI pulls live data from supplier APIs and your preferred vendors, updating quotes in real-time. We also build in buffers based on your historical volatility, so you're not caught off-guard. For example, if steel jumps 10%, the system recalculates margins automatically, alerting your team to adjust or hold firm. This keeps bids accurate without manual checks, saving you hours of calls to yards. We've seen clients avoid 15% overages this way, all tailored to your regional market.
Will this integrate with our existing tools like Procore or Sage?
Absolutely, integration is our bread and butter. We don't force you into new software; instead, we create deep, two-way connections to tools you're already using. For Procore, that means pulling project specs directly into quotes; for Sage, it syncs cost data without double-entry. Our custom APIs ensure data flows securely and reliably—no brittle Zapier-style links that fail mid-bid. We map it to your workflow during discovery, so estimators see everything in one dashboard. Clients report zero downtime after setup, and it's all owned by you, scalable as your operations grow.
What's the timeline for building and launching this custom system?
You're busy on-site, so we keep it efficient. From our initial consult, we map your process in week one, build the core AI in 4-6 weeks, and test with your real bids in the next two. Full launch? Typically 8-10 weeks total, depending on complexity like multi-sub integrations. We prioritize quick wins, like automating takeoffs first, so you see value early. No endless beta phases—it's production-ready from go-live. One firm went from discovery to quoting a live job in under two months, cutting their prep time by half right away.
How do you ensure the AI understands construction-specific details like permits or subs?
We train it on your data, plain and simple. During setup, we ingest your past quotes, contracts, and even sub lists to teach the AI your nuances—like adding permit fees for urban jobs or factoring sub bids for HVAC. It's not generic; we fine-tune for things like OSHA compliance or regional codes. If a new reg hits, we update it seamlessly. Think of it as a digital foreman who's learned your playbook. Testers in our builds caught 95% of site-specific tweaks automatically, reducing revisions and keeping bids tight.
What kind of ROI can a mid-sized construction firm expect?
ROI is what drives you, and we quantify it upfront. For a firm like yours with 20-50 employees, expect payback in 2-4 months through 15-20 hours saved weekly on quotes—that's about $5K-$10K in labor costs alone, based on estimator rates. Add a 25-30% bump in win rates from accurate bids, and you're looking at $50K+ in extra revenue yearly. We track metrics like time per bid and margin improvements in your dashboard. One client, a 30-person outfit, recouped our fee in three months and added two projects worth $800K thanks to faster, sharper quoting.
Is this system secure for sensitive bid information?
Security is non-negotiable in construction, where bids can make or break jobs. We build with enterprise-grade encryption, role-based access (so only estimators see full details), and compliance to standards like SOC 2. Data stays in your owned system—no cloud rentals exposing you to breaches. We audit for vulnerabilities during development and offer ongoing monitoring. For instance, client bids are anonymized in AI training to protect competitive edges. Firms we've worked with sleep better knowing their sub pricing and margins are locked down tight, just like a well-secured job site.
