AI for Subcontractors
How specialty subcontractors can benefit from AI technology.
Definition
AI for subcontractors helps specialty trades improve efficiency and quality. AI can help with drawing review, scope verification, coordination, and quality documentation. Subcontractors can use AI to win more work and deliver better outcomes.
In Depth
Subcontractors perform the trade-specific work on construction projects — concrete, steel, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire protection, finishes. AI helps subcontractors with the document management challenges that come from working on multiple active projects simultaneously, each with different document management platforms and procedures.
The multi-project challenge is unique to subcontractors. While a GC might manage 5-10 projects, a busy mechanical subcontractor might have 20-30 active projects across different GCs and different platforms. AI provides a unified search across all of these projects, so the foreman looking for a spec requirement does not need to remember which project platform to log into.
