For mechanical, electrical and plumbing contractors, AI earns its keep on the paperwork around the job: tender packs to read, bids to draft and crew hours to cost against the right job. AI per Aziende, an Italian studio, builds these tools to order: they pull requirements and deadlines from tender documents, draft bids from your own rates and turn crew messages into site reports costed by job; a person signs off every document. You start with a free intro call built around one of your live jobs.
The tender closes in ten days and someone has to read all of it: eligibility, mandatory site visit, bonds, exclusions. It usually falls to the owner or a senior estimator, pulled off live jobs. The requirement buried on page 143 is the one that costs you.
One foreman texts, another writes on paper, a third remembers on Friday. Working out which hours and materials went to which job becomes office work in its own right, and real margins only show up once the job is closed.
A valuation needs installed quantities, photos and agreed variations. When that data is spread across chats, email and notebooks, the claim goes in late and so does the payment.
Drawings, commissioning reports and product data from past jobs sit in shared folders with inconsistent names. When a client asks what you installed three years ago, someone loses a morning looking.
Upload the tender documents and the AI returns a summary: eligibility criteria, deadlines, documents to prepare, risky clauses. Every point links back to the page it came from, so checking it takes a minute.
From the bill of quantities or a scope list, the AI assembles a draft bid with your descriptions, rates and standard terms. An estimator checks it, adjusts it and signs it: no bid leaves without review.
Foremen send a voice note or message on WhatsApp or Telegram at the end of the day: hours, headcount, materials, issues. The AI turns it into clean lines filed under the right job, ready for the office.
With hours, quantities and photos already filed per job, the AI prepares the progress summary your valuation starts from. The project manager checks it against the contract and decides what to claim.
We connect the AI to documents from your past jobs. Ask in plain language and get an answer with a link to the source file.
Three steps, and the first one is a no-strings conversation.
Thirty minutes online with the owner or operations lead. We take one real job and look at where time leaks: tendering, the office, site. If AI won't help, we say so on the call.
We take a current tender or project and build the first version on those documents. You judge it on your own data, not on a demo.
The tool goes into everyday use with estimators and foremen. We refine it with you over the first weeks and keep it maintained.
Bids, claims and client correspondence stay drafts until one of your people approves them. AI shortens the work; accountability stays where it belongs.
We don't sell a one-size package: AI agents, automations and custom software are our trade. The tool fits your jobs, not the other way round.
If an off-the-shelf product already covers a step well, we say so on the intro call. We only build where it actually pays off.
Yes. Current AI models can read long tender packs and specifications and extract eligibility criteria, deadlines, required documents and clauses that need attention. What matters is how it's set up: in the tools we build, every point in the summary links back to the original page, so your estimators verify rather than trust. The decision to bid stays with you.
There are established platforms for construction estimating, project management and job costing, and many MEP firms run well on them. They fit when your process fits their model. Custom AI earns its place in the gaps: reading tender packs, collecting crew reports from chat apps, drafting documents from your own rates. On the intro call we tell you honestly which route suits you.
Let foremen use what they already use: a voice note or a message at the end of the shift. The AI reads it, recognises the job, headcount, hours and materials, and files them neatly for the office. Nobody on site has to learn a new app, and nobody in the office has to retype anything.
No, and it shouldn't. The AI gathers and organises what a claim needs: installed quantities, hours, photos and variations flagged by the crews. The summary goes to the project manager, who checks it against the contract and decides what to submit. A progress claim has financial weight, so a person signs it off.
No. The starting point is your current setup. If the new tool needs to exchange data with your existing system, we check that on the intro call; it depends on the software and what it can import or export. Often it's enough for the AI to produce data and documents in a format your office already handles.
For an MEP firm the price depends on what we build: a tender reader is a different job from a system collecting reports from ten crews. A fixed price list would mislead you. On the free intro call we work out what your firm actually needs, then give you a clear price before any work starts. And if the numbers don't work, you'll hear that from us first.
Tender packs, bids and site data are used only to run your tool. On the intro call we go through where they are stored, who can access them and how access is split by role, for example estimators on one side and site crews on the other. No document goes to a client without a person approving it first.
A free 30-minute intro call: show us a live tender or project and we'll tell you where AI takes work off your office and crews, and where it doesn't.
Thank you. We'll write to you to set up the call: we reply within 4 hours on working days (Italian time).
