Everything your team needs.
Nothing you have to manage.

construction.live gives project managers, estimators, and site engineers one AI workspace that reads documents, checks numbers, and catches problems before they reach the job site.

01AI-powered

AI Document Analysis

Read 200 pages in 90 seconds. Flag what matters.

AI document analysis is the automated review of construction documents including specs, submittals, RFIs, and contracts. It uses AI trained on construction workflows to pull out key requirements, spot conflicts, and surface risks much faster than a manual review.

Upload any project document and construction.live reads it with full construction context. It knows the difference between a structural spec and a mechanical schedule. It understands that Division 03 covers concrete, that a submittal register is not the same as a shop drawing log, and that a change order tied to a prior RFI has cost implications downstream.

Most teams spend 4 to 6 hours reviewing a spec package before a bid. This brings that down to minutes, with every requirement, exclusion, and ambiguity already highlighted.

Capabilities

Spec review
Submittal analysis
Contract parsing
RFI drafting
Drawing cross-reference
Issue flagging
Works with PDF, DOCX, XLSX, and CAD exports
Understands CSI MasterFormat structure
Cross-references multiple files at once
Example prompt

"Review this submittal package and flag anything that does not match the Division 07 spec, especially waterproofing requirements."

Bid Leveling

Stop comparing numbers. Start comparing scopes.

Bid leveling is the process of adjusting multiple subcontractor bids to a common scope baseline. It accounts for inclusions, exclusions, and assumptions so a general contractor or owner can make a fair comparison rather than just picking the lowest number.

The cheapest bid is rarely the best one. When teams skip proper leveling, they often award scopes with missing exclusions and absorb the difference as a change order months later. construction.live reads each bid package, pulls out what is in and what is out, and builds a normalized comparison matrix automatically.

Upload three mechanical sub-bids and ask for a leveled summary. The AI will show where Bidder A excluded vibration isolation, where Bidder C priced a smaller equipment package, and where the spec requires something none of them included.

Capabilities

Scope normalization
Exclusion extraction
Bid comparison matrix
Qualification summary
Missing scope flags
Example prompt

"Level these four electrical bids against Division 26. Build a comparison matrix and flag any scope that appears in the spec but not in any of the bids."

03Calculations

Engineering Calculations

Quantities, formulas, and load calcs. Verified and ready to use.

Engineering calculations in construction include quantity takeoffs, material sizing, unit conversions, structural load analysis, and formula generation for estimating and procurement. These are tasks that traditionally require specialist software or a licensed engineer's time to complete correctly.

Over 50% of construction.live sessions involve formulas or data calculations. From concrete volume with waste factors to rebar density to HVAC load estimates, the AI generates Excel-ready formulas, checks unit consistency, and shows its working so your team can verify the logic.

You do not need to know the formula. You need the right answer with a clear, traceable method. construction.live delivers that fast enough to use mid-estimate and accurate enough to present to a client.

Capabilities

Quantity takeoffs
Material calculations
Excel formula generation
Unit conversions
Load calculations
Waste factor analysis
Outputs Excel-ready formulas
Shows full working, not just a result
Example prompt

"Calculate the total concrete volume for this foundation drawing, apply a 10% waste factor, and give me a cost breakdown at $185 per cubic meter supply and place."

04Intelligence

Project Intelligence

An AI that understands your project, not just your question.

Project intelligence is the ongoing AI analysis of construction project data including schedules, documents, emails, meeting notes, and field reports. It helps project managers and site teams identify risks, track progress, and make faster decisions across the full project lifecycle.

construction.live builds a working understanding of your project from every file you upload. Ask it to compare the mechanical schedule in the drawings against what the spec requires. Ask it to flag anything in a field report that contradicts the last RFI response. Ask it which open submittals are sitting on the critical path.

It runs automated daily checks, reviews your inbox, tracks deadlines, and compiles reports on a schedule you set. Your team gets full project awareness without manual effort. Set it up once and it runs in the background while you are on site.

Capabilities

Schedule analysis
Risk identification
Meeting intelligence
Deadline tracking
Automated reporting
Cross-document analysis
Example prompt

"Based on the project schedule and current submittal log, which open items are most likely to cause a delay in the next 30 days?"

Scope Gap Detection

Find what is missing before it becomes a change order.

Scope gap detection is the process of identifying work that is required by a contract or specification but not included in any subcontractor bid, the project schedule, or the approved estimate. These gaps are one of the most common causes of cost overruns, claims, and budget disputes in construction.

Industry data shows that 60 to 80 percent of construction change orders come from incomplete scope definition at the bid stage. Scope gaps are almost always preventable with a thorough review. The problem is that most teams do not have the time to do that review manually on every package.

Upload your specification, your estimate, and your sub-bid packages. Ask construction.live to identify what the spec requires that nobody has priced. It cross-references all three at once, flags the gaps, ranks them by estimated cost exposure, and gives you a clear picture of what needs to be sorted before you sign anything.

Capabilities

Spec vs estimate crosscheck
Bid coverage analysis
Unpriced scope flags
Cost exposure ranking
Pre-award risk summary
Works across GC estimates and sub-bid packages
Flags exclusions and qualifications in bid letters
Example prompt

"Cross-check this specification against our estimate and the three sub-bids. Give me a ranked list of scope items that appear in the spec but are not priced by anyone."
