INDUSTRIES · CONSTRUCTION & ENGINEERING

New tenders add line items. Closed projects rarely remove them.

Once when you buy the platform. Again when every subcontractor, supplier and client login renews. We replace the contracts that scale with project count.

About this industry

Construction runs on the thinnest margins in any capital-intensive sector — and on a stack of vendor SaaS that scales with every project, every supplier and every document. Procore for project management, Aconex for document control, Primavera for scheduling, Oracle Fusion or SAP for ERP, a fresh portal per major client. Each was bought to fix one project; each now bills on every project. We rebuild the load-bearing pieces as software you own, one workflow at a time.

What renting costs the job

Four contracts every construction CIO knows.

Each one was supposed to streamline projects. Each one is now a line item on every project bid.

Project-platform lock-in

Procore, Aconex, Primavera — your project data lives in their schema. Switching means re-platforming every active project mid-flight.

Per-project licence creep

Pricing scales with concurrent projects, users and modules. Every new tender adds line items; closed projects rarely reduce them.

Client portal sprawl

Major clients mandate their own document portals. Your team reconciles every one of them by hand, programme after programme. Audit weeks become audit months.

Change-order latency

Workflow updates wait in the vendor's roadmap behind everyone else's. The feature your PM needed in Q1 ships in Q4 — after the project closed.

What you build instead

Six workflows we replace, one project at a time.

Start with the contract that bills hardest per project. Two-week pilot in your environment. Production at fixed milestones.

Document-control AI

Drawings, specs, change-orders, RFIs — indexed, searchable, version-controlled by agents that read your project filing structure. Audit-ready by default.

Submittal-review agent

Reads the submittal, checks it against spec, drafts the markup, routes the exception to the right engineer. Closes the review cycles the SaaS workflow leaves queued.

Field-ops orchestration

Daily reports, safety incidents, defect tracking — generated against your project plan, not last quarter's template. Operates against your labour and equipment budget.

Programme dashboards

EVM, schedule slip, cost-to-complete, cash position — read directly from your systems of record. No more vendor BI module licensed per project.

Owned project layer

Project status, RFI tracking, submittal workflows — rebuilt on your data, on your schema. Procore and Aconex become admin screens you control.

Supplier portal you own

Subcontractor onboarding, certs, insurance, payment — one portal under your control. Replaces the client-mandated portals with a single source of truth.

AI Integration

How saasinator brings AI to construction.

Assess

Map every AI opportunity across your project, document, supplier and field-ops workflows. Score by margin impact, project frequency, and what you'd retire first.

Deliver

AI-native workflows replace the manual loops your PMs, document controllers and field engineers run today. Two-week pilot per workflow, fixed scope, working screens.

Operate

Governed agentic systems in production. Every project decision logged, every drawing version traceable, every workflow change owned by your team.

Segments we support

Every part of the build.

Buildings & vertical construction

Commercial, residential, mixed-use towers. The category where document and submittal control are the whole game.

Infrastructure & civils

Roads, ports, utilities, rail. Multi-year programmes where schedule slip and supplier visibility decide the P&L.

Industrial & EPC

Process plants, refineries, manufacturing facilities. Engineer-procure-construct contracts with deep BOM integration.

Specialty contracting

MEP, façade, fit-out, HVAC. Mid-size operators living and dying by per-project licence economics.

Construction services

Cost consultants, QS firms, project-management consultancies. Service businesses with disproportionate SaaS tooling spend.

Real estate developers

Sponsors and developers managing portfolios of active projects with mandated client-side portals.
