Built with a contractor, not for a demo

We have just completed a proof of concept with an A2 CW contractor, built around the pain points they actually raised. This is what came out of it.

67% measured against one A2 CW contractor’s own pre-AI baseline. We set yours in the readiness review, so the gain is measured on your numbers.

01What we ran

Their pain points, not our feature list

The contractor told us where the hours were going. We built against that, and measured against how they worked before. Nothing here is a projection — it is what the POC produced on their documents.

Where the hours were going

  • Searching drawings and specs for one figure
  • Re-typing the same quantity a third time
  • Chasing which revision is current
  • Checking one document against another
02How you benefit from these new ways of working
A

Tendering & contracts

Up to 67% productivity

Faster turnaround when you are putting a tender together, and when you need a figure out of a contract that is already signed.

  • A whole tender pack read in one pass — drawings, contracts, specifications and priced tables together
  • Contract information extracted on request instead of hunted through page by page
  • Every figure returned with the page it was printed on, so it can be checked
B

Business qualifications for opportunities

New requirement

ISO quality management used to be enough on its own. It is not any more.

  • Environmental and cybersecurity management standards are now expected for new opportunities
  • Neither standard is reachable without proper data and AI systems underneath
  • Getting the foundations right is what makes you eligible, not just efficient
C

Site efficiency

Stages connected

With good data and AI systems in place, the project stages stop working in isolation — tender, construction and post-project draw on the same information.

  • A tender QS finds what the tender actually said while pricing variation works on site
  • Time that used to go on searching goes back into the work
  • Previously this needed BIM tools. It is now reachable with good internal information.
D

Overall project stages

Risk priced right

Four things change across the whole job once the information is in order.

  • Reducing abortive works, through good internal coordination
  • Automated intelligent checking of drawings and inaccuracy
  • Reducing risk by catching it first, so it gets priced correctly
  • Better management of that risk across the project
03From the console

Four screens from the proof of concept

Taken from the POC itself. Tender numbers, client names and reference codes are redacted — the file paths, page numbers and clause references are the real ones.
