Construction agent

Built for the $10M–$100M contractor — too big to run on the site engineer's memory, too small for a year-long enterprise rollout. Start with one or two read-only use cases and expand once the results have earned it.

SAP knows what you spent. Primavera knows you're late. The BOQ knows what you planned. No system connects them.

sign-off on every action

How it runs

From documents in to decisions out.

Each agent starts with a small set of operating actions, clear escalation, and visible ownership.

The pipeline

Ingest

Daily site reports, SAP cost exports, Primavera schedule updates and the BOQ land in one place each morning.

Cross-reference

Spend is lined up against progress against plan, item by item, instead of waiting for month-end.

Flag

Divergences surface with the exact source line quoted: the delayed pour, the uninstructed variation, the short delivery.

Brief

The PM and commercial lead get a ranked morning brief: what moved, what it touches, what to do first.

Decide

A human accepts, overrides or escalates each flag. The agent logs the decision and watches the follow-through.

Agent actions

01

Early risk detection

Site reports, cost ledgers and the schedule are cross-checked daily, so a divergence surfaces the morning it happens — not at month-end.

02

Cash-flow intelligence

Every flag is traced through to its cash and margin consequence, so risk shows up in the numbers that matter, not just the schedule.

03

Management copilot

A ranked morning brief gives the PM and commercial lead what moved, what it touches and what to do first, in one screen.

What it reads, does and shows

Reads

  • Daily site reports (email, WhatsApp exports, PDF)
  • SAP FI/CO and PS cost ledgers
  • Primavera P6 schedules and float
  • BOQ line items and variation registers
  • Supplier POs and delivery notes

Does

  • Reconciles claimed progress against certified quantities
  • Traces a site event through schedule, cash and margin
  • Builds variation candidates from uninstructed work
  • Drafts the morning exceptions brief

Shows

  • A ranked flag list with the triggering line quoted
  • The cash and margin consequence per flag
  • A one-screen project pulse for management review

Worked example

A cancelled pour, traced to money

Workflow trace

Illustrative walkthrough — not a client result

Thursday's site report notes the concrete pump broke down and the Block C pour was cancelled. This is how the agent walks that single line through the project.

Read

Pour cancelled — pump breakdown; replacement available Sunday.

Schedule

The Block C slab sits on the critical path; a three-day slip consumes the remaining float.

Cash

Twelve carpenters idle until the pour; formwork crew cost accrues with no earned value.

Procurement

The Sunday pump slot clashes with the rebar balance delivery — same crane window.

Action

Flagged high. Suggested: confirm the pump slot, resequence Block D formwork, notify the client engineer today.

What changes once the agent runs it

Finding the problem

Month-end reconciliation, weeks after the event

Next-morning flag with the source line quoted

Variations

Uninstructed work discovered at final account

Variation candidates raised while the crew is still on site

Management view

Chasing three systems and a WhatsApp thread

One ranked brief, evidence attached

What the spine unlocks next

Connect the systems once, and these come free.

Not shipped today — the natural next step once the spine is in place. Same reasoning, applied to more decisions.

01

BOQ vs. reality

Planned 10,000 tiles, trending to 12,000 — caught while there's still time to file the variation.

02

Change-impact analysis

A drawing revision or supplier delay traced through quantities, procurement, schedule, billing and cash.

03

Procurement intelligence

Required-on-site dates vs. the real supply path — a PO is not a delivery.

04

Resource visibility

Idle equipment and crew conflicts across sites, with feasibility checked before anything moves.

05

Cross-project learning

Every job teaches the system your real productivity rates, supplier reliability and client payment patterns.

Controls

Production means the team can trust it.

The system is designed with human review, evaluation, auditability, permissions, and monitoring before expansion.

Human-in-the-loop stays visible.

The agent handles the repetitive path. People still own approvals, exceptions, and high-risk decisions.

Read-only — never writes to your systems

Runs in your private cloud

Deterministic math, not model guesses

Sources, freshness and confidence on every answer

Proof signal

Concluding an implementation with Vel Amrith, a construction and facility-management company in Riyadh, and in discussions with a second, larger Gulf group.
