AI workflows for construction project admin teams
Construction paperwork has to be right: a date, an RFI (request for information) number, a change order amount. These six templates cover the minutes, logs, submittal checks, notices and task hand-offs that fill a project admin week. Each one has checks built in, such as quoting your own record word for word or matching each number to it, and asks for a fix when a check fails. The last check is yours.
What this looks like in your week
- Turning owner, architect and contractor meeting notes into decisions, actions with an owner and a date, and open questions.
- Pulling workers, weather, work done, delays and incidents out of field notes into rows for a daily log, or amounts and days out of change order messages.
- Checking a submittal or a bid against the specification or bid package, one requirement at a time, before it goes out.
- Rewriting a field note or a contract notice as a plain message for an owner, a client or a crew lead, with every date and number kept.
- Handing a routine such as the submittal log or the pay application to a relief coordinator, with no passwords in the hand-off.
- Looking back on a finished project or phase and writing down what to change next time, without blaming a firm or a person.
