Drone expert David Daly explains how UAVs are transforming construction jobsites through real-time progress monitoring, site security, asset tracking and emerging AI-powered technologies

The construction industry is entering a high-tech era, and drones are leading the charge.

Once the domain of hobbyists or military operators, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are now essential tools on jobsites. They’re not just improving project efficiency but are redefining what’s possible.

From creating digital twins of jobsites to safeguarding materials and optimizing equipment use, drones are streamlining workflows, enhancing safety and giving construction professionals powerful new ways to manage and monitor projects in real time.

Few people understand this transformation better than David Daly, chief pilot, training manager and UAV expert at High Stakes University. A Marine Corps veteran with experience in aerospace, real estate, defense and technology, Daly brings a unique perspective on how drone technology is reshaping construction from the ground up.

Key Takeaways

Drones deliver real-time progress monitoring through 2D/3D mapping and live transmission feeds.
UAVs provide flexible site security that extends beyond fixed cameras or personnel patrols.
Drones streamline asset tracking and volumetric calculations, helping teams stay on schedule.
Emerging tech like AI, automation and robot-dog integration is pushing drone use even further.

From Combat to Construction: Daly’s UAV Journey

Daly’s entry into the drone industry started in a deeply personal place. After serving four tours in Iraq and one in Afghanistan, he returned to civilian life facing the mental health challenges of post-traumatic stress disorder.

“When I was flying,” Daly shared, “I noticed that I got relief from some PTSD symptoms like hypervigilance and worrying.” Encouraged by his wife, Daly pursued drone flying as a potential career path—just as the commercial drone industry was beginning to take off.

In 2017, he founded a drone services company and later co-launched High Stakes University. The organization now trains professionals in construction, law enforcement, security and hospitality, teaching not just FAA-compliant drone operation, but also how to apply drones in complex real-world scenarios.

Progress Monitoring in Real Time: Digital Twins and Live Feeds

For construction professionals, drones are transforming how project progress is documented and communicated—especially when it comes to stakeholder reporting and contractual obligations.

“If you had certain phases that needed to be completed,” Daly explained, “the drone can quickly go over that. Because of the capabilities it has, it can map that out in a 2D or 3D fashion so that it can very quickly be shared with stakeholders in the organization. A lot of times that’s also tied into contractual obligations where that can be shared with clients as well.”

One of the most impactful applications is the creation of digital twins—precise virtual replicas of construction sites. These allow teams to detect changes over time, assess delays or progress and make faster decisions.

“Let’s say the next week you do the same thing—you can compare the two and the software will pick out what’s changed,” said Daly. “This becomes a great reporting tool—to be able to say at a progress meeting: ‘Here’s where we’re at; this is what we need to change or adjust in order to get back on schedule,’ or ‘We’re ahead of schedule.’”

Drones also allow for live transmission feeds, adding real-time visibility to project meetings. “You could do a live transmission feed in the middle of a meeting of the drone flying over so people can say, ‘I want to get a better look at that. Can we bring the drone closer into there?’ That’s the main way that it’s used for progress monitoring on a site,” Daly added.

Securing the Job Site: Drones as Autonomous Guardians

Construction sites are vulnerable environments; they’re often left unattended overnight with expensive equipment and materials in place. Drones offer a game-changing advantage in jobsite security.

“A drone doesn’t have the limitations of things like security cameras,” said Daly. “They can go to whatever position you want them to.”

Autonomous drone solutions—sometimes called “drones in a box”—can be programmed to patrol set routes 24/7, offering continuous surveillance and data capture. Unlike stationary cameras, drones provide mobility, adaptability and greater visibility over large or irregular sites.

On-site personnel can also take manual control to conduct additional sweeps of high-risk or newly vulnerable areas, giving teams flexibility to respond in real time.

Asset Tracking and Equipment Efficiency

Beyond safety and monitoring, drones are also helping contractors track and manage expensive equipment more efficiently—especially across large-scale or multi-phase projects.

“If one team is not using [an asset] but they’re scheduled for it,” Daly explained, “you can have that drone track that and say: ‘They’re not using the macro now; let’s bring it to the other team so that they can use it and move along the schedule more efficiently.’”

Drones also simplify once-manual workflows like volumetric calculations, which traditionally required survey crews to measure material piles.

“You can fly a drone over a pile of gravel—it’ll do a volumetric calculation and instantly spit out for you: this is how many tons of rock you have or if you need to order more,” said Daly.

What’s Next: AI, Machine Learning and Robot Dogs

While drones are already transforming today’s construction workflows, emerging technologies are pushing the boundaries even further.

“Drones on their own—or if you have a pilot that’s flying them—can do terrific things,” said Daly. “But when you start looking at a lot of the platforms that are out now, they have AI, machine learning and automation built into them where you can eliminate a lot of the human factor within that.”

Some of the most cutting-edge applications include:

Thermal mapping for detecting energy loss, such as heat escaping from rooftops.
Swarming technology, where multiple drones collaborate and share data across a jobsite.
Ground-based robotics integration, including robot dogs that coordinate with drones for site walkthroughs and safety scans.

“There’s technology now—the drone and the ground base asset like the robot dog—they can integrate each other’s information so you can have it before everybody even gets to a site,” Daly noted. “You can have the drone in the sky and the dog on the ground going around and checking for any safety issues or if something is out of place that shouldn’t be.”

Building Smarter, Safer and More Efficient Sites

As Daly’s experience demonstrates, drones are not just a futuristic add-on; they’re quickly becoming core infrastructure for modern construction teams. From improving communication and site security to unlocking time and cost savings, UAVs are proving their value on projects of all sizes.

With automation, AI and integrated robotics on the rise, the future of construction is increasingly being built—and protected—by eyes in the sky.

From Oil to Algorithms: How Energy’s Future Depends on Connected Construction Teams

Technology & Innovation
Philippe Herve

As electricity replaces oil as the engine of economic growth, connected construction teams are key to building the energy infrastructure of the future

For more than a century, oil fueled the growth of the global economy. But today, a new power source is rising to prominence—and reshaping the built world along the way.

Electricity, not oil, is now the backbone of economic expansion in the United States and around the world. With demand surging due to rapid growth in data centers, electric vehicles (EVs), domestic manufacturing and renewable energy infrastructure, the spotlight is shifting toward the systems and structures needed to generate, transmit and store electricity at scale.

This transformation puts the construction industry at the center of the energy transition. But unlike past infrastructure booms, the new wave of energy projects requires far more than steel and concrete. To succeed, it depends on highly connected, collaborative teams—and digital tools that can keep everyone aligned, efficient and compliant from planning to final inspection.

A New Energy Economy Emerges

After decades of relatively flat energy consumption, electricity demand in the US is climbing fast—and it’s not expected to slow down. A recent Wall Street Journal article noted that demand is being driven by a confluence of factors: the rapid rise of artificial intelligence, a growing fleet of EVs, expansion of domestic manufacturing under the Inflation Reduction Act and CHIPS Act, and a broader push to electrify everything from water heaters to home heating systems.

……

Key Infrastructure Driving the Transition

What Projects Are Powering the Electric Economy?

As electricity becomes the new backbone of economic growth, a wave of complex infrastructure projects is reshaping the built environment. These are the critical developments driving the shift:

Utility-Scale Solar and Wind Farms: Large-scale renewable energy projects are being deployed across rural and coastal areas to meet rising demand with clean, sustainable power.
High-Voltage Transmission and Grid Interconnection Upgrades: Modernizing the electrical grid requires new transmission lines, substations and interconnection points to distribute power efficiently and reliably.
EV Charging Networks: Extensive charging infrastructure is expanding along highways and in urban areas to support the growing number of electric vehicles on the road.
Hydrogen Production and Clean Energy Manufacturing Plants: New industrial facilities focused on low-carbon hydrogen and advanced clean-tech manufacturing are being built to support decarbonization goals.
Data Centers for Cloud and AI: The explosion of AI and digital services is fueling demand for energy-intensive data centers—many of which require dedicated grid infrastructure.

These projects depend on close coordination between public agencies, utilities and construction teams—and digital tools to keep them on track.

……

One of the most telling examples is the planned expansion by Dominion Energy, which is set to double its electricity generation capacity over the next 15 years to keep up with demand—much of it concentrated around Northern Virginia’s booming data center corridor, nicknamed “Data Center Alley.”

Meanwhile, a 2024 report from the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) projected that total US electricity demand could grow by up to 76% by 2050, depending on the pace of electrification and technology adoption. Demand from industrial consumers—such as semiconductor fabs and hydrogen production facilities—is projected to be especially strong.

This growth comes with major implications for utilities, public agencies, construction firms and energy developers alike: The need to modernize and expand America’s electrical grid has never been more urgent.

Construction’s Critical Role

Whether it’s building utility-scale solar and wind farms, EV charging networks, grid interconnection points or high-voltage transmission lines, construction professionals are on the front lines of the shift toward an electrified economy.

These projects are often highly complex, involving dozens of stakeholders: contractors, engineers, utility companies, permitting officials, environmental consultants and municipal governments. They must meet stringent safety, compliance and sustainability requirements while staying on budget and schedule—a challenge that grows exponentially when teams are spread across disciplines and geographies.

Today’s energy infrastructure projects also differ from traditional builds in another crucial way: they’re expected to be both fast and future-proof. That means coordinating timelines with grid capacity upgrades, ensuring interoperability with emerging technologies and staying ahead of changing regulatory frameworks.

In this high-stakes environment, effective communication and coordination aren’t just nice to have; they’re essential to keeping projects on track and delivering long-term value.

Delays and Disconnection: A Growing Concern

Despite the growing urgency of energy transition projects, permitting delays and bureaucratic bottlenecks continue to stall progress.

According to data from Berkeley Lab, the median wait time for new power sources to connect to the grid reached five years in 2023, the most recent year for which data is available. The interconnection process—essentially, getting permission to connect a power source to the grid—has become a major roadblock, especially for solar and wind developers.

Many projects also face challenges during the planning and design phases, where traditional, paper-heavy workflows and siloed teams make it difficult to respond quickly to feedback or maintain a single source of truth.

From markups lost in email threads to outdated drawings floating between teams, the cost of miscommunication can be enormous—especially on infrastructure projects that require careful regulatory oversight and precise technical coordination.

Why Connected Teams—and Tools—Matter

As the pace and complexity of energy infrastructure projects accelerates, connected construction workflows are becoming a critical advantage. Platforms like Bluebeam offer centralized tools for design review, permitting coordination, documentation, compliance and real-time communication.

For example, Bluebeam Revu allows construction professionals to:

Speed up permitting and plan reviews by enabling real-time markups, standardized workflows and easier collaboration with agencies and reviewers.
Maintain version control and reduce rework by tracking changes and comments across disciplines and stakeholders.
Ensure audit-ready documentation for inspections, regulatory compliance and project closeout.
Access and update plans remotely, helping distributed teams work more efficiently and transparently.

In an environment where even small delays can have cascading effects—from missed tax credits to regional energy shortages—teams that can work faster and smarter have a distinct edge.

Supporting Both the Private and Public Sectors

One of the unique challenges of energy infrastructure is the need to bridge the gap between private development and public oversight. While utilities and developers are often responsible for design and construction, permitting and regulatory review are handled by local, state and federal agencies.

That’s why connected platforms like Bluebeam aren’t just for contractors but are equally valuable for public-sector partners managing plan review, compliance documentation and interagency collaboration.

By streamlining communication between public agencies and private stakeholders, Bluebeam helps shorten timelines, reduce confusion and keep critical infrastructure projects moving forward.

The Broader Sustainability Opportunity

The shift to electricity isn’t just about supply and demand. It’s also about reducing emissions and improving sustainability across the built environment.

By helping teams work digitally, Bluebeam supports broader environmental goals:

Reducing paper usage and printing costs.
Minimizing travel to jobsites or city offices for plan reviews.
Improving project outcomes through better coordination and reduced waste.

These benefits align closely with the goals of many energy developers, municipalities and design firms aiming to meet ESG targets and reduce the environmental impact of construction itself.

Building the Grid of the Future

As oil’s dominance fades and the electric economy takes shape, construction professionals will continue to play a leading role in shaping the built environment.

But the demands of this new era require new ways of working—ones built on digital collaboration, real-time transparency and integrated data.

By enabling connected teams to plan, build and manage projects more effectively, Bluebeam helps lay the foundation for a faster, cleaner and more resilient energy future. It’s not just about tools—it’s about empowering the people and processes that will make the energy transition real.

Building Smarter: How Pinnacle Engineering Uses Bluebeam to Transform Structural Design

Tips and Tricks
Frank Kalman

Discover how Pinnacle Engineering streamlined structural design workflows, improved collaboration and enhanced client communication using Bluebeam Revu and Studio.

Andy Carson, principal structural engineer at Pinnacle Engineering, recalls the frustration of working on a major project before his firm fully integrated Bluebeam into its workflows.

Emails piled up with different versions of the same PDF, each containing conflicting markups from various team members. Client updates were delayed, and tracking changes across multiple disciplines required constant back-and-forth communication. With project timelines growing tighter and remote collaboration becoming more common, Carson and his team knew they needed a more efficient way to work.

That’s when Pinnacle Engineering embraced Bluebeam Revu and Bluebeam Studio, tools that would transform the way the firm approached structural design. No longer constrained by inefficient document sharing, Pinnacle’s engineers began working in real time, improving coordination with architects, technicians and clients.

The result wasn’t just improved efficiency but a fundamental shift in how the firm designed, reviewed and delivered projects.

The Challenge: Overcoming Collaboration Bottlenecks

Structural engineering projects rely on seamless coordination between multiple stakeholders, often across different locations and disciplines. Before adopting Bluebeam, Pinnacle’s workflow had several key inefficiencies.

First, version control was a major obstacle. Engineers and designers were frequently working on separate PDF files, meaning updates were often lost in email threads or had to be manually merged.

Miscommunication was another challenge, as project updates were passed along through emails or meetings, slowing down decision-making. Remote collaboration was limited, with teams unable to work simultaneously on the same document.

Finally, clients lacked visibility into real-time design progress, which often delayed approvals and increased the need for revisions.

These issues were compounded by the increasing complexity of projects and the expectation that design iterations happen quickly. Pinnacle needed a solution that would streamline communication, speed up approvals and improve overall efficiency—all while maintaining the highest level of precision in structural design.

The Solution: A Digital-First Approach with Bluebeam

Pinnacle’s transition to Bluebeam Revu and Studio marked a turning point for the firm. The software provided an all-in-one platform for document markup, collaboration and tracking, allowing engineers to work more efficiently and stay aligned with project stakeholders.

One of the most significant benefits came from Bluebeam Studio Sessions, which enabled real-time collaboration on project drawings. This proved particularly valuable during the COVID-19 pandemic, when teams had to work remotely yet still maintain the same level of productivity.

“Bluebeam was amazingly effective for collaborating on PDFs and sets of drawings remotely,” Carson said. “We really leaned into Bluebeam Studio and Bluebeam Sessions to work in real time from different locations.”

This capability eliminated version control issues and reduced the time spent coordinating updates. Instead of emailing revised PDFs back and forth, Pinnacle’s engineers could work on the same document simultaneously, making markups in real time and ensuring that all changes were immediately visible to the entire team.

Another major efficiency gain came from Bluebeam’s overlay tools, which allowed Pinnacle’s engineers to compare different versions of structural and architectural drawings instantly. Previously, design teams had to manually review drawings on separate screens or even use physical overlays. With Bluebeam, they could now align structural grids with architectural layouts in a matter of seconds, improving accuracy and reducing the risk of design conflicts.

“Bluebeam Revu significantly speeds up decision-making,” Carson said. “In the past, you’d have to compare drawings visually across screens. Now, overlays make it all happen in one place.”

Driving Efficiency with Custom Toolsets

Beyond improving collaboration, Bluebeam also streamlined repetitive tasks within Pinnacle’s workflow. One of the firm’s favorite features is the Tool Chest, which allows users to create and reuse custom markup tools.

For Senior Structural Engineer Ben Thirgood, the Tool Chest has been a game-changer.

“My favorite feature from Bluebeam is definitely the Tool Chest,” Thirgood said. “I’ve put together so many things that I use day-to-day—within 5 or 10 minutes, I’ve got a detail ready.”

This ability to create standardized markups has helped Pinnacle ensure consistency across projects, reduce manual work and speed up the document review process. Instead of drawing the same elements repeatedly, engineers can pull from a library of pre-built annotations and apply them instantly, saving valuable time.

Enhancing Client Engagement and Communication

While Bluebeam has significantly improved internal collaboration, it has also had a meaningful impact on how Pinnacle engages with its clients.

Traditionally, structural engineers worked through a series of design iterations before presenting updates to clients. However, this often led to delays in approvals and misalignments in expectations. By integrating Bluebeam into its client workflows, Pinnacle has been able to provide greater transparency and real-time visibility into the design process.

“The clients that we work with like to see how the design is developing live,” Carson said. “Bluebeam allows that to happen because markups can be done, saved and changed in real time.”

With this new approach, Pinnacle’s clients can review live project updates, make informed decisions faster and provide feedback directly on shared documents. The result: Fewer misunderstandings, faster approvals and a more streamlined workflow for everyone involved.

Measurable Improvements in Workflow Efficiency

Since fully integrating Bluebeam into its workflows, Pinnacle Engineering has seen significant improvements across multiple areas.

Faster turnaround times: Document tracking and real-time collaboration have cut response times by 10-20%, allowing teams to meet tight deadlines more effectively.
Greater accuracy in design markups: With overlay tools and the ability to standardize annotations, engineers catch potential issues earlier, reducing costly revisions.
Improved client engagement: Live-tracked markups and shared access to documents have led to smoother, more transparent communication with clients.
More efficient internal processes: Features like the Tool Chest have eliminated repetitive work, freeing up engineers to focus on design rather than administrative tasks.

“Because of the reduced lag in issuing information and receiving comments, we’ve typically seen a reduction of 10% to 20% in getting information back,” said associate Andres Gajjar.

These improvements have not only boosted efficiency within Pinnacle’s internal teams but have also enhanced the overall client experience, ensuring projects stay on track and on budget.

Looking Ahead: Scaling Bluebeam’s Impact

With the success of its Bluebeam implementation, Pinnacle is now looking at ways to further leverage automation and integration capabilities to drive even greater efficiency. The firm is exploring how to connect Bluebeam with other project management tools, as well as expanding its use of Bluebeam Studio Sessions for broader collaboration across more disciplines.

“From an engineering perspective, it’s the best PDF markup tool for collaboration in the industry,” Carson said.

For Pinnacle, the transition to digital-first workflows has not just been about keeping up with technology but about fundamentally transforming the way structural engineers work.

A Model for the Future of Engineering Collaboration

Pinnacle Engineering’s journey with Bluebeam serves as a blueprint for firms looking to modernize their workflows. By embracing digital collaboration, real-time markups and client transparency, the firm has reduced inefficiencies, accelerated decision-making and strengthened relationships with stakeholders. For other engineering firms facing similar challenges, Pinnacle’s story proves that adopting the right digital tools can make all the difference.

The oil and gas industry stands at a pivotal crossroads, where entrenched traditions clash with the pressing need for sustainable transformation.

Environmental mandates, shifting public expectations and investor demands have put fossil fuel giants under unprecedented pressure. They must transition to cleaner energy sources while battling the unforgiving reality of staying profitable in a hyper-competitive market.

This high-stake balancing act has forced the industry to rethink how it operates, making technological innovation less of an option and more of a necessity. Enter digital collaboration and document management tools.

These technologies might not command the spotlight like gleaming wind turbines or vast solar arrays, but these behind-the-scenes powerhouses are driving the energy transition forward. By simplifying complex project workflows, locking down compliance and speeding up critical decisions, digital collaboration platforms are transforming how oil and gas companies meet the demands of a rapidly evolving energy landscape.

The Growing Energy Transition Pressure on Oil & Gas Companies

The global energy sector is undergoing a major transformation as countries set increasingly ambitious renewable energy targets.

For instance:

The European Union aims for a 100% renewable electricity system by 2035.
Denmark targets 100% renewable electricity by 2030.
Several US states have set goals for 100% clean electricity, with varying deadlines.

To align with global climate objectives, the oil and gas sector faces the imperative to significantly reduce its carbon footprint. McKinsey & Co. estimates that achieving net-zero emissions by 2050 will require the industry to cut emissions by at least 3.4 gigatons of CO₂ equivalent annually—a 90% reduction from current levels.

This monumental task necessitates substantial investment in low-carbon technologies, including carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS). McKinsey’s analysis suggests that annual global investment in CCUS technology needs to reach $120 billion to $150 billion by 2035 to meet net-zero targets.

The International Energy Agency (IEA) underscores the pivotal role of the oil and gas industry in scaling up crucial technologies for net-zero transitions. The IEA reports that approximately 30% of the energy consumed in a net-zero energy system by 2050 will come from low-emission fuels and technologies that could benefit from the skills and resources of the oil and gas sector.

In response to these challenges, major oil and gas companies are increasingly investing in low-carbon solutions. The Oil and Gas Climate Initiative (OGCI) reported record low-carbon investments of $29.7 billion in 2023, totaling $95.8 billion since 2017, reflecting the industry’s commitment to a net-zero future.

These investments are not merely expenditures but strategic moves to diversify portfolios and maintain competitiveness in a rapidly evolving energy landscape.

How to Protect Your Construction Contracts from Tariff Chaos

Construction & The Economy
Frank Kalman

New U.S. tariffs on steel and aluminum are driving up construction costs—this free AI-powered tool helps contractors quickly assess contract exposure and mitigate financial risk

The U.S. construction industry is bracing for another round of price volatility as the federal government recently announced steep tariff hikes on steel and aluminum imports. Duties on Chinese steel and aluminum are set to double, increasing from 25% to 50%, and other global trade restrictions could further impact supply chains.

For general contractors, subcontractors, developers and suppliers, these tariff changes introduce significant financial risk, particularly for projects with fixed-price contracts that do not account for cost increases. With steel and aluminum among the most widely used materials in construction, these new tariffs could cause budget overruns, delays and legal disputes.

“The construction industry operates on tight margins, and sudden cost increases like these can throw entire projects into financial uncertainty,” said Josh Levy, CEO and co-founder of Document Crunch. “If contractors don’t know what’s in their contracts, they could end up eating the cost of these tariffs—sometimes in the millions of dollars.”

Industry leaders and risk managers are now faced with a pressing question: How can firms protect themselves from sudden tariff-driven cost increases?

To help contractors assess and mitigate risk, AI-powered document intelligence and compliance platform Document Crunch, in partnership with the Nemetschek Group, has launched a free Tariff Risk Assessment Tool. The tool is designed to help construction firms quickly analyze their contracts for exposure to tariff-related cost fluctuations, providing instant clarity on financial and legal obligations.

Why Tariffs Create Contract Risks for Construction Firms

The construction industry is no stranger to material cost fluctuations, but tariffs present a unique challenge. Unlike market-driven supply chain price shifts, tariffs are imposed suddenly due to geopolitical policies and trade disputes—often without warning.

For construction professionals, this creates three major risks:

Locked-in Pricing with No Adjustments: Many projects are bound by contracts signed months or years in advance—and these agreements often lack clauses that allow for price renegotiations due to tariffs.
Unclear Cost Responsibility: When tariffs increase costs, who absorbs the financial burden? The contractor, supplier or client? Without clear contract language, firms risk unexpected cost overruns.
Legal and Financial Uncertainty: Many contractors don’t have the time or resources to manually review contracts to determine if they contain price adjustment clauses or force majeure provisions that may provide relief.

“One of the biggest problems we see is that many contractors assume they have protection in their contracts when, in reality, they don’t,” Levy said. “Without the right clauses in place, you could be stuck footing the bill for something completely outside of your control.”

This lack of clarity is especially problematic for small- and mid-sized contractors who cannot afford expensive legal reviews but still need to protect themselves from financial losses.

How the Document Crunch Tariff Risk Assessment Tool Works

Recognizing the immediate need for risk assessment, Document Crunch has launched a free, AI-powered Tariff Risk Assessment Tool that provides contractors with instant visibility into their contractual exposure.

Using AI-driven document analysis, the tool scans contracts for key risk indicators, such as:

Price Adjustment Clauses: Identifies language that allows cost-sharing for material price changes.
Force Majeure and Supply Chain Disruptions: Highlights clauses that protect against delays due to tariffs.
Change in Law Provisions: Determines whether new tariffs qualify as a reimbursable project cost.
Notice Requirements: Ensures contractors meet deadline and format obligations for reporting cost changes.

“Contractors don’t have weeks to dig through contracts—our AI can analyze them in minutes and flag exactly where you may have risk exposure,” Levy said.

By automating this process, Document Crunch eliminates the need for time-consuming manual contract reviews, enabling firms to proactively address financial risks before they escalate.

Who Can Use It?

Available for free to general contractors, subcontractors, material suppliers and developers.
Users can assess up to 10 contracts—a limit designed to cover most active projects a user is managing today.

How to Access It:

Why AI-Powered Document Intelligence Is Critical for the AEC Industry

Beyond tariffs, document intelligence is becoming an essential risk management tool for construction firms. As the industry faces increasingly complex regulatory environments, AI-powered platforms like Document Crunch help firms proactively manage risks, reduce disputes and protect profit margins.

“We’re seeing more firms adopt AI for contract management and general compliance across all project documents, not just for tariffs but for all kinds of project risks,” Levy said. “The days of manually combing through project documents are over; technology can help construction firms stay ahead of financial threats.”

Here’s why more construction firms are turning to AI-driven contract analysis:

Faster Risk Assessment: AI scans complex documents in minutes instead of days or weeks, accelerating project approvals and financial planning.
More Informed Decision-Making: Contractors get clear, actionable insights, eliminating guesswork in contract negotiations.
Stronger Financial Protection: By identifying cost exposure early, firms can renegotiate terms or adjust pricing strategies before cost increases impact profitability.
Scalability: Large firms managing dozens of contracts across multiple projects can automate compliance and risk checks, reducing administrative burdens.

Don’t Let Tariffs Put Your Projects at Risk

The construction industry is at a critical moment—and firms cannot afford to wait. Tariff increases are already driving up costs, and without contract protections, companies may be forced to absorb unexpected expenses that cut into margins.

The good news: The Document Crunch Tariff Risk Assessment Tool is free to use—and provides immediate clarity on financial exposure.

“We built this tool because we believe contractors deserve to know where they stand,” Levy said. “With tariffs hitting the industry hard, this is about more than just business—it’s about doing the right thing to help the industry navigate uncertainty. This is a true moment in time and we want to help the industry sustain itself through this time.”
