Construction is the least AI-adopted industry in Australia

Margin advantage in construction
isn’t won on site.

Contract administration still runs on spreadsheets, PDF markups, and email chains while every other industry has moved on. The firms that automate first win on margins and delivery speed.

The Problem

The industry digitised everything except the commercial workflow that actually moves money.

Still analogue

90%

of contract admin is manual

WBS in spreadsheets. Claims as PDFs. Variations in registers no one trusts. Both parties maintain separate versions of the same data.

AI-ready

Minutes

not days

AI can read a contract, track cumulative progress, flag discrepancies, and generate payment certificates. The tools exist. Construction just hasn’t adopted them yet.

Compounding cost

Every period

the gap widens

Every month spent on manual reconciliation is margin lost. The firms that move to AI-first contract administration compound that advantage every claim period.

The Platform

Structured data. Scoped access. AI at every step.

Structured, not scattered

WBS, claims, variations, forecasts, retention, and compliance — in one structured data model. Not twelve spreadsheets.

  • Work breakdown structures
  • Claims & variations
  • Cost forecasts
  • Compliance documents
  • Retention & payments
One model. Scoped access.

Contractors and clients work from the same data. Permissions control what each party sees. No reconciliation meetings.

  • Shared contractor-client access
  • Role-based permissions
  • Multi-contract portfolios
  • Counterparty scoping
AI across every step

From reading contracts to flagging assessment discrepancies, AI handles the work that used to take days. You make the decisions.

  • Contract analysis
  • Progress tracking
  • Claim assessment
  • Payment certificates
  • Discrepancy detection

Capabilities

From scope to certified payment.

01

Build your WBS once

Every claim, variation, and forecast traces back to one structure. Build it once, never rebuild it.

02

Claims that carry forward

Progress is cumulative and automatic. No manual reconciliation. Fully auditable.

03

Variations with full context

Linked to WBS items with approval workflows. No separate register that falls out of sync.

04

Compliance that blocks, not chases

Expired insurance or missing certificates? The claim won’t submit. Obligations enforced, not emailed about.

05

Costs with confidence intervals

First principles, unit rates, actuals, and Monte Carlo simulation. Know where your project is heading — P10 to P90.

06

Portfolio visibility

Health scores, cash flow, earned value, and assessment erosion — across every contract, every project.

For the firms ready to move first

If this sounds like your week, we built this for you.

Commercial Managers

You spend the first week of every month rebuilding a claim in Excel. Reconciling cumulative progress by hand. Hoping the formulas are right.

There’s a better way. There is.

Project Directors

You manage ten contracts across three projects and still can’t get a single view of your financial position without chasing five people.

Now you can.

Principals & Clients

You assess claims against a spreadsheet you didn’t build and don’t trust. Every period is a reconciliation exercise, not a commercial decision.

Work from the same model instead.

AI is reshaping every industry. Construction has a window to move.
