Reporting that leaves the spreadsheet behind.

AEC projects generate field data all day — equipment hours, quantities, inspections — and most of it dies in spreadsheets. We build the pipelines that move it from the field to the office, and make it ready for AI.

// the report should be a byproduct of the work, not a second job

// the operating reality

Field data dies on the way to the office.

The superintendent knows exactly what happened on site today. By the time that knowledge survives a notebook, a spreadsheet, a PDF export, and an email thread, it's three days old and nobody can query it. Project controls end up steering by documents instead of data.

x status == buried_in_attachments + status == queryable_by_anyone
Manual re-entry

Field data is captured automatically at the source — not entered once, not transcribed three times.

From blueprint to plan 5 days

The AI-Ready Data Audit turns a preliminary blueprint into a validated engineering plan, for $5,000.

// what we build

From the field to the office

// 01 Field reporting that writes itself

Equipment state, runtime, and downtime captured automatically at the source — not reconstructed from a notebook at the end of the shift. Daily reports and inspection logs delivered where the office actually reads them. No evening transcription shift, no operator stuck filling out a form.

// 02 Field data extraction

Project history locked in spreadsheets, Access databases, and aging project-management systems — extracted, structured, and made queryable without disrupting the jobs that depend on them.

// 03 AI readiness for operations

Governed, read-only access layers so AI can answer real questions about schedules, quantities, and crews — without touching the source systems or leaking project data.

// proven on the ground

We've already built this for a foundation contractor.

We built the custom ERP behind a large commercial foundation contractor's operations — then extended it with sensor-driven field capture aimed at the problem every heavy civil operator knows: rig downtime and shift reports that don't survive the trip from the field to the office.

We don't learn the field from a brochure. We build operational data infrastructure for regulated, hard-environment industries — aviation MRO, defense, industrial manufacturing — where the data has to be accurate, traceable, and yours. Heavy civil is the same problem on a different jobsite.

// what you could ask

Questions your project data should answer

> Which projects are behind on daily reports?
> Where are quantities trending over plan?
> Which crews are blocked, and on what?
> What is the open inspection and punch-list backlog?
> Which submittals are sitting unanswered?
> Where is rework concentrated across jobs?

// yours to keep

On-prem. Air-gap-capable. Yours.

Field capture, equipment telemetry, and project record stay in your environment. On-premise and air-gap-capable. No mandatory cloud, no offshore handling — which matters when the work is publicly funded or government-adjacent.

> deploy field_capture --target on_prem

+ equipment telemetry → your network

+ project record → your database

+ air-gap mode: supported

Alice writes the report so the field doesn't have to.

Alice is our construction and civil reporting bot: punchier reporting, delivered automatically from what the field already captures. If your daily reports are a nightly chore, start there.

// where to start

Map the access problem before buying another AI tool.

The AI Data Access Blueprint is a free preliminary map of where an AI initiative will stall in your operation: data access, legacy systems, governance, or ownership. The paid audit then validates it against your real systems.

We map the fix in 5 days for $5,000 — credited toward the build if you hire us.
