Built for contractors your size — $75M to $300M, 15-30 projects in flight.
AI-enhanced construction platforms that connect field to office — intelligent RFI management, AI-powered estimation, predictive cost control, and automated daily reporting. AI is finally reaching the jobsite, and we build the systems that make it useful for contractors your size.
Sound Familiar?
Problems we solve
RFI process is email-based chaos. Architects send requests. Contractors search for answers. Weeks pass. No one knows the status.
Submittals live in PDFs scattered across email and shared drives. GCs can't tell which version is approved.
Daily reports are paper or PDF. Office can't see actual progress without calling the superintendent.
Punch lists are spreadsheets maintained by hand. Walk the site, note issues, type them up, email them, wait. No accountability on closeout.
Change orders get disputed because nobody can trace who approved what scope change, or when.
Your project cost reports are two weeks behind because time, materials, and sub invoices aren't connected to cost codes in real time.
Capabilities
What we build
RFI Management with Status Tracking
Structured RFI workflow that replaces email chaos with timestamps, routing, and documented resolutions.
Create RFIs on-site from mobile, route to the right recipient (architect, engineer, specialist), track status with comments and attachments, close with documented answer. Every RFI has a timestamp, responsible party, and resolution.
Digital Submittal Organization & Approval Routing
Submittals organized by trade, tied to the schedule, and routed through approval chains — with version control.
Product specs, samples, test results, certifications — organized by trade and specification section. Upload, auto-route for approval, track status, archive with version control. No more hunting through email for the approved version.
Offline-Capable Mobile for Field Teams
Field data capture that works without connectivity and syncs automatically when signal returns.
Not all jobsites have reliable connectivity. We build mobile apps that work offline: daily reports, time entry, material tracking, punch list items, RFI responses — all sync when connectivity returns. Data accuracy improves because you're recording in context, not transcribing from paper notes hours later.
AI Cost Forecasting & Budget Intelligence
AI-powered cost prediction that spots budget overruns before they happen — plus real-time cost code tracking.
Mid-market contractors manage 50–100 cost codes per project. We integrate time tracking, material receipts, and sub invoices directly to cost codes, giving you real-time budget position on demand. AI models trained on your historical project data predict cost overruns weeks before they materialize — flagging which cost codes are trending over budget and which subs are likely to generate change orders. Cost control becomes predictive, not reactive.
Change Order Management & Approval Workflow
Full change order lifecycle — from proposal through approval to documented implementation.
Propose changes with affected tasks and cost codes, estimate impact, route for approval, document approved scope and price, track implementation. Fewer disputes. Faster approvals. Clear audit trail.
AI-Assisted Daily Reporting & Progress Documentation
AI-enhanced field reports — automated progress photo analysis, natural language report generation, and intelligent safety observation flagging.
Replace paper daily logs with AI-assisted mobile reporting. Superintendents capture crew counts, equipment usage, weather conditions, safety observations, and progress photos — and AI helps fill in the rest. Natural language processing turns voice notes into structured reports. Computer vision analyzes progress photos to track completion percentages. AI flags safety concerns in photo documentation automatically. Office staff see complete, structured reports before the end of the day.
The Difference
Why AppAxis
Fixed-Price, No Surprises
We scope your platform and quote a fixed price before work begins. No per-user fees that multiply as your team grows. No change-order surprises. You know the investment upfront — the same way you'd expect a sub to bid a project.
Pilot-First Approach
We don't pitch 18-month transformation roadmaps. We deploy a working module on one project in 4–6 weeks — real data, real field teams — and prove the value before expanding.
You Own the Code
Construction platform vendors charge per user and lock you into their ecosystem. We build on your infrastructure, deliver your source code, and transfer full ownership. Your platform grows with your company, not your vendor's invoice.
Built by People Who Understand Jobsites
Our team understands RFI workflows, cost code structures, submittal chains, and field-to-office data flow. You won't spend your first month teaching us your industry.
Scenario
Field-to-Office Digital Transformation
Challenge
A $150M general contractor was managing RFIs through email, submittals through shared drives, and daily reports on paper. Office visibility lagged days behind the jobsite.
Solution
We built a unified platform with offline-capable mobile, automated RFI routing, digital submittals, and real-time cost tracking — deployed on the first project in 5 weeks.
Result
RFI turnaround reduced from weeks to days. Real-time cost visibility eliminated end-of-month surprises.
Our Approach
How we work with contractors
Assessment
We start by understanding your current workflow — how your PMs, supers, and office staff actually handle RFIs, submittals, dailies, and cost tracking. What tools are you using? What's duct-taped together? Where does information die between the field and the office?
Proposaltype
We deliver a working prototype built on your actual project data and workflow — not a generic demo. You see how RFIs route, how cost codes populate, how the mobile app handles offline sync. Your field team tests it before you commit to a full build.
Weekly Showbacks
During the build, you see working progress every week. Real project data flowing through real workflows. You steer the build with your feedback, not a change-order process.
