AI FOR CONSTRUCTION & GENERAL CONTRACTORS
Sub and supplier coordination
Most schedule slippage isn't dramatic — it's the electrician who didn't confirm Thursday, the RFI that sat unanswered for nine days, the delivery nobody re-verified. Keeping trades and suppliers aligned is a full-time nagging job that no small GC can staff. The AI does the nagging: schedule confirmations, RFI chasing, delivery checks — drafted, sent, tracked, and escalated before they become delays.
HOW IT WORKS IN YOUR BUSINESS
A Day With This Running.
An illustrative walkthrough, not a customer case study. Actual behavior depends on your tools, data, review rules, and implementation.
'Confirming your crew for Thursday at the Maple job — site will be ready, inspection passed Monday.' Every trade on this week's schedule gets one; responses are tracked automatically.
The electrician hasn't confirmed by Wednesday noon — you find out Wednesday, when a phone call can still save Thursday, not Thursday at 7 AM when nobody shows.
The window-detail RFI to the architect gets a polite follow-up every three days, automatically, with the growing schedule impact noted. Nine quiet days becomes two nagged ones.
Deliveries re-verified before need dates, trades sequenced with confirmations, unanswered items escalating to you — the job flows because nothing falls silent.
BEFORE & AFTER
What You Could Measure.
These are hypothetical before/after examples, not measured results or performance guarantees. Establish your baseline and test realistic targets in a pilot.
▸Before: A few times a month — each costing days
▸After: Rare — confirmations catch the misses early
▸Before: 1–2 weeks of inbox aging
▸After: Days — persistent, polite chasing
▸Before: An hour-plus of calls daily
▸After: A morning glance at the exceptions
Illustrative potential impact: Fewer trades showing up to sites that aren't ready — the quiet schedule-killer on every small GC's jobs.
