Protect Your Budget and Schedule with AI AssistedPlan Review 

What if we could prevent 50% of the most common RFIs before they ever show up? That’s the goal  of the AI plan review pilot we’re rolling out this month—helping us catch coordination issues early  so they don’t turn into delays, change orders, or surprises later. 

Why Owners and Developers Should Care 

Late changes drain budgets. RFIs and conflicting documents chip away at contingency, stretch  schedules, and add costs no one planned for. By bringing AI into preconstruction, we’re aiming to  cut down on RFIs, minimize rework, and improve cost predictability. 

AI in Construction: Cutting Through the Noise 

There’s a lot of buzz around AI, but not all tools deliver real value. We’ve vetted nearly 30 options  and landed on two that actually move the needle. Here’s what matters: AI adoption is accelerating,  many tools overpromise, the market shifts fast, and data security is non-negotiable—which is why  everything we do stays within Microsoft 365’s secure environment, secure servers, or Procore. 

Where AI Actually Helps In Construction 2026 

• Preconstruction risk reduction: Spotting design conflicts, scope gaps and coordination  issues early. We are currently testing this with five projects. 
• Predicting schedule risks: By comparing your project to patterns across thousands of  similar schedules, AI can flag likely delays 
• Improving estimate accuracy: Machine learning helps identify estimate outliers, catch  quantity inconsistencies and improve cost certainty 
• Safety and quality support: Part of our 2026 testing includes new tools highlighting  potential compliance issues and recurring site risks so teams can intervene sooner. 

How We’re Approaching It 

Our focus is simple: test what works, measure results, and scale only what actually saves time or  money. Our pilots are tied to real dollars and days, designed to work smoothly with design teams,  and accompanied by transparent updates. Being your trusted partner is at the core of our AI strategy. 

What’s Coming Next 

We’re starting with negotiated and repeat client projects so we can clearly measure improvements.  Expect three updates a year—and if you want your project considered for early plan review, I’m  happy to talk one-on-one. Bottom line: If AI helps us reduce even a portion of RFIs before they become problems, you get  fewer surprises down the road, more predictable schedules, and better protection for your budget.
