BuildAEC
AI-native construction ERP
“Win, price, build, bill — one AI-native platform.” CRM, AI takeoff, estimating, project and field management, and construction accounting in a single system.
A contractor bidding work runs a CRM that does not know about the estimate, an estimating spreadsheet that does not know about the project, and an accounting package that knows about none of it. Every handoff is a re-keying step, and quantity takeoff — the gate on how many jobs can be bid at all — is still done by hand with a scale ruler and a highlighter.
BuildAEC collapses the stack of disconnected tools a contractor normally runs into one AI-native ERP. Bids start in a CRM built for AEC pipelines, get priced through estimating, and convert straight into projects — no re-keying between systems.
Its AI Takeoff reads construction plans with vision models, detects spaces, and produces a priced bill of quantities with confidence scoring on every line, so estimators review judgment calls instead of measuring by hand.
Execution and money close the loop: document-controlled project management, real-time field capture, and construction-specific billing including AIA progress draws and lien waivers.
Takeoff by vision model, reviewed by human
Plans are read directly: spaces detected, quantities derived, a priced bill of quantities produced. Every line carries a confidence score so the estimator reviews the nineteen uncertain items rather than re-checking all three hundred.
One record from bid to invoice
An opportunity in the CRM becomes an estimate, the estimate becomes a project, the project bills against the same line items. Nothing is re-entered because nothing crosses a system boundary.
Construction accounting, not general accounting
AIA progress draws, retainage and lien waivers are first-class objects. General-purpose accounting packages model these as workarounds, which is why contractors keep a spreadsheet alongside them.
Field capture that survives the site
Daily logs, labor, equipment and safety records are captured on a phone in conditions where connectivity is optimistic, and reconcile against the project when they land.
- AI Takeoff — vision plan analysis, space detection, confidence-scored BOQ
- CRM — pipeline management built for AEC bidding
- Estimating — pricing that converts bids into projects
- Project Management — full job execution with document control
- Field Management — real-time capture from the jobsite
- Accounting — AIA progress draws and lien waivers
- CRM, takeoff, estimating, project management, field operations and billing in a single AI-native platform
- Confidence-scored quantities that direct review effort instead of demanding blanket verification
- Bid-to-project conversion with no re-keying between stages
- Purchasable as suites over a always-on platform core, so a specialty trade does not pay for a general contractor feature set
