From Estimation to Closeout:
AI Purpose-Built to Maximize Margin

In construction, you can have a full year of work and lose all of your margin to one bad job. Scope gaps at bid, change events that
go unrecognized, entitlements that expire before they're claimed — and 59% of contractors say they cannot spot an overrun while
it's still fixable. AltaML deploys agentic AI that works across the full construction lifecycle to maximize and preserve margin.

SOUND FAMILIAR?

MARGIN DOESN'T DISAPPEAR ALL AT ONCE.
IT BLEEDS OUT ACROSS EVERY PHASE OF THE JOB.

The same margin-eroding patterns show up on job after job, and most of them are visible in the data before they hit the financials.
Here's where the margin goes:

budget-spending
Scope creep
Bids priced thin get thinner during execution. Scope gaps that look minor at estimate become expensive during construction. AI analyzes bid documents against historical project data, flagging scope items so they can become change orders or disputes. 
document-correct
Permitting

Permit applications sit in review queues for weeks. AI checks a submission against code requirements before it goes out, flags what's missing, and leaves a full audit trail behind every decision.

clipboard-list
Project delivery

RFIs and change orders pile up faster than anyone can track. AI reads submittals, redlines, and specifications, flags what's changed, and surfaces what needs a decision — so nothing sits unanswered in a shared drive.

Hard Hat
Field operations

Field crews write up inspection notes and locate requests days after the site visit, once details have already faded. AI turns field notes and photos into completed reports and filings before the crew leaves site.

OUR WORK IN CONSTRUCTION

AI ACROSS EVERY PHASE OF THE JOB

search Document Retrieval Find the right drawing, spec, submittal, or RFI in seconds, instead of digging through a shared drive or a stack of PDFs.  
file-text Smart data extraction Automatically read drawings and specifications and pull the material takeoff to draft a proposal.  
tool Predictive maintenance & asset management

Track equipment condition and usage across a fleet, flagging maintenance needs before a breakdown stalls a crew.

truck-fast Dispatch & Route Optimization

Plan crew and material delivery routes across a multi-site portfolio, cutting drive time and idle hours between sites.

Construction's AI Platform

AltaForge is AltaML's proprietary AI platform, purpose-built for construction. It connects to the systems you already run, learns your projects, and powers every accelerator we build, from drafting a proposal to reviewing a permit.

We build on what you already run.

We don't replace Procore, Trimble, Autodesk, or Sage. We connect to them, so the systems you already pay for and already trained your team on get smarter instead of getting swapped out.

Every accelerator you deploy
makes the next one smarter.

Proposals, permits, drawings, and field reports all read from the same contextual layer: a knowledge graph built from your contracts, drawings, change history, and workflows. The more of it you use, the smarter all of your tools get.

Speed of software, depth of a custom build.

Off-the-shelf estimating tools are fast but generic. A homegrown AI team takes years to build. We sit in between: accelerators built for construction, tuned to how your business runs, live in weeks instead of years.

"AltaML has been a great partner throughout our engagement. The team quickly understood what we are trying to achieve, and continue to translate that understanding into practical algorithms and solutions that drive meaningful value for our business. They consistently work with the urgency and performance our business requires and conduct themselves with integrity, good faith, and a genuine commitment to building a long-term partnership."
