Common questions
Can AI write quotes for construction jobs?
It can turn your site notes into a structured quote draft with scope, exclusions and a covering email. Quantities, materials and prices stay with you; check every line before sending.
Can AI help with construction safety paperwork?
It can draft method statements and risk assessments from your template, but a competent person must review them against the actual site. Never file safety documents unchecked.
What should a small builder automate first?
Replying to new enquiries. A fast acknowledgement that collects the job details wins work you would otherwise lose while you're on the tools.
