AI FEATURES
Copilot modes
Four purpose-built modes for construction cost management. The copilot runs entirely on your infrastructure — no data leaves your server.
Overview
The executive copilot is a conversational reasoning layer on top of your live project data. Unlike a general-purpose AI assistant, each mode has a defined analytical framing, a fixed output structure, and access to your project records — estimates, costs, BOQ items, and field reports.
Daily brief
Purpose: A morning operational summary. Opens your day with full situational awareness across all active projects — without manually checking each one.
What it reads: All active projects, cost entries from the past 7 days, BOQ positions flagged for review, upcoming milestones and deadlines, and field reports submitted since the previous brief.

TOP 3 EXPOSURE ITEMS
1. MEP INSTALLATION (02.05)
Estimated: EUR 420,000 | Committed: EUR 398,000
Risk: Scope creep on BMS integration — unresolved RFI 034
Recommended contingency uplift: +EUR 28,000
2. EXTERNAL CLADDING (03.02)
Rate benchmarked 8 months ago — DE market +6.2% since then
Recommended rate revision: EUR 187/m² → EUR 198/m²
Impact: +EUR 34,000 on current quantities
3. STRUCTURAL STEEL (02.02)
Quantities based on pre-tender design — IFC not yet updated
Low-confidence flag on 340m² of mezzanine area
Recommended: Quantity re-check before subcontract awardEstimate review
Purpose: A QA pass on a draft estimate before it leaves your desk. Catches missing items, inconsistent rates, and scope gaps before a client or procurement panel sees the number.
Usage: Navigate to an estimate and click Copilot review, or open the copilot, select Estimate review mode, and paste the estimate ID or a scope summary.
ESTIMATE REVIEW — Est. E-2026-0092
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
ISSUES FOUND: 4
[HIGH] Missing: Preliminaries section
Typically 8–12% of net cost for this project type.
EUR 2,400,000 net × 10% = EUR 240,000 not included.
[HIGH] Rate anomaly: External render (04.01.020)
Used rate: EUR 28/m². Market benchmark (DE, 2026): EUR 42–48/m².
Possible input error — check unit (m² vs m run).
[MEDIUM] Missing: Roadworks reinstatement
Site access via public road — check if S278 agreement required.
[LOW] Contingency: 5% applied
For a project at RIBA Stage 3, 10–15% is standard.
Consider increasing to EUR 350,000.
OVERALL: Estimate requires revision before issue.Project executive
Purpose: A plain-language briefing for project owners, board members, or clients who need the financial picture without line-item detail.
Output: Written in clear, non-technical language. Suitable for presenting to a non-construction audience. Structured as: current financial position → key risks → recommended decisions.
PROJECT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY — Office Tower Phase 2
Prepared 20 April 2026
THE FINANCIAL POSITION
The project is currently tracking at EUR 2,418,000 committed
against a budget of EUR 2,850,000 — 85% of budget utilised
at approximately 72% construction completion. The project is
currently within budget but the margin is narrowing.
KEY RISKS TO BUDGET
The mechanical and electrical fit-out has one unresolved change
request that could add up to EUR 28,000 if approved. Cladding
rates were set in mid-2025 and market prices have risen since then;
a rate revision may add a further EUR 34,000 if required by the
subcontractor at next valuation.
DECISION REQUIRED
To maintain adequate contingency through to practical completion,
we recommend approving a contingency increase of EUR 65,000.
No budget approval is required for construction to continue at
the current rate.
