ErectOS
One workspace for field execution, cost control, BIM context, project memory, and owner reporting.
Problem
Critical context is scattered across field notes, drawings, spreadsheets, emails, cost systems, and meetings.
Teams reassemble reality every week from disconnected logs, photos, RFIs, submittals, and cost trackers.
Owners ask what changed, why it changed, and who approved it, but the evidence trail is fragmented.
BIM and drawing context rarely reaches the workflows where schedule, scope, and cost decisions happen.
The system of record is still reconstructed after the fact, even on projects that already bought software.
Why now
The missing piece was not another form. It was a system that can read messy project context and route work safely.
LLMs can summarize, classify, draft, and reconcile project material when bounded by permissions and source context.
Documents, drawings, financial records, and media can be indexed into a project graph instead of locked in silos.
Construction firms want AI that respects sensitivity, access, audit trails, and client-specific workflows.
Solution
Each module is useful alone, but the compounding value comes from the shared project graph and workflow engine.
RFIs, submittals, deficiencies, documents, meetings, safety, and owner-facing reporting.
Budgets, commitments, change events, tendering, client cost portal, and variance visibility.
IFC geometry, drawing context, markups, spatial references, and issue location workflows.
RAG, project memory, daily briefs, task routing, sensitivity controls, and workflow automation.
System design
Documents, events, geometry, permissions, and financial context become retrievable operating context for people and agents.
Construction entities, relationships, approvals, costs, and lifecycle state are modeled directly.
Project entities resolve across files, messages, drawings, invoices, tasks, and meetings.
Answers and actions inherit the access model rather than bypassing enterprise controls.
Briefs, retrieval, drafting, validation, and routing can be composed into repeatable project workflows.
Wedge
The initial value is clearer reporting and faster operational alignment. Expansion follows the project record.
Give project leadership a trusted view of budget, commitments, change exposure, and evidence.
Layer RFIs, submittals, deficiencies, meetings, and action tracking into the same operating record.
Turn the project graph into daily briefs, variance explanations, risk routing, and portfolio reporting.
Evidence
The scaffolding is not a prototype mock. It is a production-oriented system with domain depth and infrastructure requirements.
Mapped across delivery, finance, safety, property, HR, and BIM workflows.
Domain coverage for project, commercial, document, user, and workflow records.
Web server, queue worker, and Temporal worker designed as separate production roles.
BIM extraction, document processing, and worker builds are first-class platform concerns.
Temporal and BullMQ support long-running construction processes and asynchronous automation.
Defensibility
Generic AI can draft. ErectOS can know which project, contract, drawing, cost item, and approval path matters.
Construction entities are modeled as operating primitives rather than generic records and comments.
AI actions can be permissioned, auditable, sensitivity-aware, and routed through human approvals.
Every module adds context that improves briefs, reports, retrieval, and downstream automation.
Operating plan
The deck should keep the sequence explicit: prove a narrow workflow, expand surface area, then standardize deployment.
Deliver a controlled cost portal and project readout that reduces manual reporting work.
Add field, document, RFI, change, meeting, and BIM context around the same project record.
Standardize data ingestion, project briefs, governance, and portfolio-level risk visibility.
Ask
This scaffold is ready for narrative iteration, quantified traction, partner-specific examples, and exported decks.
Investor, design partner, strategic customer, and internal board versions should share structure but differ in proof.
Tie the wedge to a concrete deployment story, decision maker, workflow, timeline, and success metric.
Swap scaffold numbers with current traction, pipeline, usage, pricing, and pilot economics as they firm up.
ErectOS is the construction project memory that turns fragmented delivery work into governed, AI-assisted execution.
