Cost of Manual Work — Construction

See what repetitive manual work is costing Construction teams each year — where daily logs, RFIs, and submittals still flow through email, paper, and PDF; nothing is searchable later.

What this means for Construction

  • Daily logs, RFIs, and submittals still flow through email, paper, and PDF; nothing is searchable later.
  • Schedule slippage is detected weeks late because the schedule lives in P6 and reality lives on the jobsite.
  • Rework is the silent margin killer; nobody knows the true cost of defects per project.

Where it pays to act

  • Computer vision on jobsite cameras and 360 captures for progress tracking and safety compliance.
  • AI-assisted takeoff and quantity estimation from drawings.
