Hi,
I have multiple projects linked to all the administrative sides of operating a construction project and I want to know if it's possible to do them all in AI Builder.
Here's what I would need the AI to do:
1. Product submittals
Currently, at the start of a construction project, we review the project's specifications and extract the prescribed products listed to send the required technical documentation as outlined in our contract. Since we work with multiple suppliers, we often have equivalent alternatives to the products specified in the document.
Next, we submit the technical data sheets for our suppliers' products, filling out the shop drawing identification form provided by the general contractor.
I believe this process takes far too much time and could be easily automated.
My Idea
I'd like to know if it’s possible to train an AI model that can:
-
Read an architectural specification document: Extract all the prescribed materials and place them in an Excel file (based on a template).
-
Allow manual review and selection: Let me review the information in the Excel file. Through dropdown menus, I can choose whether to submit the technical data sheet for the prescribed product or an equivalent product.
-
Generate complete technical documents: After I submit the finalized Excel file with my choices, the AI would:
- Retrieve the relevant technical documentation for the selected products.
- Fill out the shop drawing identification form automatically (as the information is always the same but formatted differently depending on the form).
- Generate complete PDF files for each product, including the identification form and related documentation.
-
Send the documents automatically: Optionally, I could approve the AI to send these technical data sheets directly by email.
2. Change orders (CO)
When I have a contract, I often receive Change Orders (CO), which are instructions that affect the scope of work by adding or removing contractual tasks. To handle these, I need to:
- Analyze the changes by comparing the current plans with the ones provided for the DDC (changes are always indicated with clouds on the plans).
- Quantify the new partitions, ceilings, or elements required to complete the work.
- Estimate the quantity of materials needed for the task.
- Produce a detailed quote, allowing me to manually control the level of breakdown (ventilation) for the submission.
- Send the finalized quote as an amendment or change order to the contract.
Would all of this be possible in AI builder?
Thank you!
