AI for contractors.Site paperwork, prepared properly.

RAMS, compliance packs, subcontractor documents and site records take skilled people away from the work that needs them. I build custom AI that drafts from your own templates, checks documents and keeps records organised, with competent people reviewing and signing off.

Is it right for you?

Where AI helps
a construction business.

Most site documentation reuses the same knowledge in slightly different forms. AI is good at the reading, matching and first drafts. Judgement about site risk stays with a competent person.

A good fit when

  • Producing RAMS and method statements takes hours of senior time each week
  • Main contractors each want compliance and pre-qualification information in their own format
  • Checking subcontractor insurance, cards and accreditations is manual and easy to miss
  • Knowledge is buried in past RAMS, specifications and manuals that are hard to search
  • You want a consistent, versioned record of documents and submissions

Probably not yet when

  • Your document volume is low enough that templates in Word do the job
  • You want safety documents produced without a competent person reviewing them. I won’t build that
  • An off-the-shelf construction platform already covers your process well

What I build

Custom AI for
the documents behind every job.

Each system is built on your own templates, approved content and the tools you already use.

01

RAMS and method statement drafting

First drafts produced from your approved templates, previous RAMS and the details of the job. The competent person reviews, adjusts and signs off; the system handles the assembly and version history.

02

Compliance and pre-qualification packs

The right information assembled in each main contractor’s format, including insurance, accreditations, policies and operative details, kept current and ready to review before submission.

03

Subcontractor document checks

AI reads insurance certificates, CSCS cards and accreditations, extracts expiry dates and cover levels, and flags anything missing, expired or below requirement for your team.

04

Search across your technical knowledge

A knowledge assistant over specifications, past method statements and manuals, so teams find the right approach and can see exactly which document it came from.

Inputs and outputs

What goes in.
What comes out.

A few typical shapes of construction document work custom AI can take on:

Input

Job details and a scope of works

Output

A RAMS first draft from your templates, with gaps flagged for the competent person

Input

A main contractor’s pre-qualification questionnaire

Output

Draft answers from your policies and past submissions, each linked to its source

Input

A folder of subcontractor documents

Output

A checklist of what’s valid, what’s expiring and what’s missing

Input

A question about how you’ve handled a task before

Output

The relevant past method statements, summarised with references

Typical examples to illustrate the shape of the work, not client results.

Built for safety-critical documents

Faster drafts.
Same accountability.

Safety documentation needs competent judgement. The system prepares, checks and records. People with the right knowledge decide.

Your templates, your standards

Drafts are built from your approved templates and content, so the output follows how your business already works.

Competent person sign-off

Nothing is issued without review. The system highlights what it’s unsure of and what needs site-specific input.

Versioned records

Every draft, revision and submission is recorded with dates and authors, so you can see what was issued, when and by whom.

Works with your tools

I connect to the document storage, email and project systems you already use where their integrations allow, confirmed during scoping.

Ownership and running costs

Yours to run.
Costs you can see.

Deliverables

What you receive

You own the custom work I build for you.

  • A working system connected to your agreed tools
  • Templates and rules your team can maintain
  • Documentation and a handover session
  • Test results from your own past jobs
  • A clear list of what needs human sign-off

Costs

What it costs to run

I estimate running costs during scoping, based on your document volumes.

  • Hosting and infrastructure
  • AI model usage, which scales with how much the system is used
  • Any third-party licences or APIs
  • Optional ongoing engineering and support

How a project runs

Map. Shadow. Own.

A focused first version. Tested in the real world. A clear path to what comes next.

01

Map.

I go through the documents you produce, your templates and the main contractors you work with, then agree a focused first version and a fixed price.

  • Documents & templates
  • Client requirements
  • Costed first version
Scope before commitment.
02

Shadow.

The system drafts alongside your existing process on real jobs. Your competent people compare and correct until the drafts are consistently useful.

  • Build on your templates
  • Draft alongside your team
  • Agreed acceptance criteria
Evidence before dependence.
03

Own.

I move it into everyday use, document how to update templates and train your team. Ongoing support is available if you want it.

  • Go-live
  • Training & documentation
  • Support options agreed
Your system, clearly handed over.

Questions

Good questions.
Straight answers.

Discuss your AI project
Can AI write a RAMS?

It can produce a strong first draft from your approved templates, previous RAMS and the job details. A RAMS still needs a competent person who understands the site to review, adapt and sign it off. I design the system around that review, not around replacing it.

How can AI help a construction company?

Mainly with document-heavy work: drafting RAMS and method statements from your templates, assembling compliance and pre-qualification packs, checking subcontractor documents and searching past technical knowledge. It saves skilled time on assembly and checking, while decisions stay with competent people.

Will the documents meet main contractor requirements?

The system uses your approved content and each main contractor’s format, and highlights gaps. Your team reviews everything before it’s submitted, so responsibility for content stays where it belongs.

Does it work for smaller contractors and trades businesses?

It can, if document work takes up a meaningful share of someone’s time. If your volume is low, well-organised templates may be enough, and I’ll tell you so.

Which tools does it connect to?

Usually your document storage (such as SharePoint, Google Drive or Dropbox), email and, where integrations allow, project or compliance platforms. I confirm your specific systems during scoping.

What does it cost?

The first conversation is free. After scoping, we agree a fixed price for the defined work, with hosting, AI usage and any support estimated separately. Book a call to talk it through.

A useful first conversation

Which document takes your best people the longest?

Bring an example (a RAMS, a pre-qualification pack or a subcontractor file) and I’ll talk through what AI could prepare and what should stay with your team.
