Who we work with
AI for Canadian builders and contractors
On most jobs, the numbers arrive late. Estimates, change orders and costs sit in different places until someone pulls them together.
Projects
Where AI pays off first in construction
Estimating and takeoffs
Today. Estimators measure drawings and price each line by hand.
After. Quantities and prices are drafted from drawings and past bids. The estimator checks and adjusts.
Change orders
Today. Changes are agreed on site and priced weeks later, if at all.
After. Each change is logged, priced and sent for approval the same week.
Job costing
Today. Actual costs show up at month end, after the overrun.
After. Costs by job update weekly from time, purchasing and subcontractor bills.
Safety and site reports
Today. Paper forms are filled in on site and filed in the office.
After. Reports are captured on a phone and summarized for the people who need to act.
Example project. A general contractor finds cost overruns only at month end. The first project pulls time, purchasing and subcontractor bills into weekly cost by job. This is an illustration, not a client.
Systems
Built on the systems you already run
We connect to your current tools. These are the ones we see most in construction.
Funding
Funding that can fit these projects
We scope the project first, then check these programs. Only programs marked "Grant" are grants.
Regional Artificial Intelligence Initiative
Covers larger adoption projects, including outside implementation costs. You repay it.
Amount: Up to 50% of eligible costs.
BDC LIFT
A loan for AI projects and equipment.
Amount: Loans of $25,000 to $5M.
Digital Modernization and Adoption Plan
For Ontario companies: up to $15,000 toward a digital adoption plan.
Amount: Up to $15,000.
Ontario Job Grant
Training for your staff in Ontario.
Amount: Up to $10,000 per trainee.
Questions
Common questions
Do our site crews need new software?
Usually not. We start with the tools they use today and add a phone form only where paper is the bottleneck.
Can AI read our drawings?
It can draft quantities from many drawing types. An estimator still checks every takeoff before it goes into a bid.

Answer a few questions about the project. We reply with a first scope and the funding that fits it. Funding is never guaranteed, and we tell you when a program is not a good fit.
