We automate 'what-if' modeling for site constraints like soil conditions or assembly line bottlenecks, letting you bid boldly. Civil engineering teams have <span class="gradient">halved their bid prep time</span> from weeks to days, securing 15% more contracts without lowballing on variables like utility tie-ins. Your edge in competitive tenders gets laser-focused overnight.
What Clients Say
""On our $15M interstate bridge replacement, we were hemorrhaging two full days weekly to scheduling snafus—subs arriving late for girder placements, delaying concrete curing. After AIQ customized their AI for our Primavera integration, we saw a 35% drop in conflicts, finishing 10% under budget in just 14 months. It's like they engineered smarts right into our critical path.""
Mike Harlan
Senior Project Manager, Harlan Civil Engineering & Bridges
""In our sheet metal fabrication shop, shift handoffs were chaos—press brakes idle for hours waiting on aluminum extrusions from overseas suppliers. AIQ's bespoke system synced with our SAP ERP, forecasting delays from vendor lead times and rerouting inventory. We pocketed $45K in overtime savings in Q1 2023 alone, no kidding.""
Sara Patel
Operations Director, Patel Precision Fabrications LLC
""Site weather was our Achilles' heel on retail strip mall developments—heavy rains halting masonry and roofing phases. Now, AIQ's tool pulls NOAA forecasts and auto-reallocates crews to interior framing or HVAC installs. During last year's hurricane season in Florida, we shaved losses from four days to just one per site. Total client-pleaser for tight urban timelines.""

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your AI handle unpredictable factors like weather in construction scheduling?
Weather is a beast in this industry—we get it. Our custom AI pulls from reliable sources like NOAA APIs and your past project logs to predict impacts. For instance, if rain's forecast for a pour day, it auto-suggests rescheduling crews or equipment while factoring in drying times and subcontractor availability. We've built this for firms in variable climates, reducing weather-related delays by up to 40%. It's not guesswork; it's data-driven, with overrides for your on-site judgment. Setup includes training your team to trust and tweak the predictions, ensuring it fits your workflow without overriding your expertise.
Can this integrate with our existing project management software?
Absolutely, integration is our bread and butter. Whether you're on Procore, Oracle Primavera, or a manufacturing ERP like Epicor, we create deep, two-way connections that pull in real-time data—no more manual exports. Take a typical engineering firm: we linked their scheduling AI to Autodesk BIM 360, syncing model updates with crew assignments automatically. This eliminates silos, cuts errors from double-entry, and gives you a single view of the project timeline. We handle the heavy lifting, testing for edge cases like network outages on remote sites, so your system stays robust.
What's the timeline for building and deploying a custom scheduling solution?
It depends on your complexity, but most engineering firms see a prototype in 4-6 weeks, full deployment in 8-12. We start with a quick audit of your current setup—say, mapping how you handle multi-phase builds or assembly line shifts. Then, iterative builds let you test on a pilot project, like a small fab job, before scaling. One client went live in under two months, handling their Q4 rush without a hitch. We're ROI-focused, so we prioritize quick wins like automating notifications to get value fast, while polishing the rest.
How do you ensure the AI understands our specific engineering workflows?
We don't assume—we map it out with you. Through workshops and site walkthroughs, we capture nuances like how structural engineers coordinate with MEP trades or how manufacturing tolerances affect shift planning. Our AI learns from your data: past schedules, delay logs, even RFI histories. For a recent partner, we tailored it to their precast concrete ops, predicting cure times based on ambient conditions. It's flexible, with user feedback loops to refine over time. Think of it as custom rebar for your processes—strong, adaptable, and built to last.
Is this solution scalable for growing firms with multiple projects?
Yes, scalability is core to what we do. Our systems handle everything from single-site builds to portfolio-wide manufacturing ops, supporting 10 to 500+ users without slowdowns. We use advanced frameworks that grow with you—add sites, integrate new tools, or ramp up for seasonal peaks. A mid-sized firm we worked with scaled from three concurrent projects to twelve; the AI auto-balanced resources across them, cutting coordination time by 50%. It's not rigid; we design for expansion, monitoring usage to preempt bottlenecks, ensuring your investment compounds as you grow.
What kind of support do you provide after implementation?
Ongoing support is non-negotiable in field-heavy industries. Post-launch, we offer 24/7 monitoring for the first month, then tiered plans with dedicated engineers. This includes quarterly optimizations based on your project data—like fine-tuning for new regs or supplier changes. For example, after deploying for a manufacturing client, we adjusted their model mid-year for a supply chain shift, saving them weeks of downtime. Your team gets a hotline for tweaks, plus training refreshers. We're partners, not vendors—committed to keeping your schedules tight and your operations humming.
