Civils.ai case study
Example of the savings over 3 months on the design of a $520 million infrastructure project.

473

queries answered
"We mainly use Civils.ai for retrieving information across multiple of our 400+ page tender specifications helping us check our proposals."

15 minutes

saved per query
"As a conservative estimate we saved 15 minutes per query, in certain cases like when questions arise during site visits it has saved us significantly more than this."

89%

answer accuracy
"Auto checking our plans against tender specs is a game changer, the only improvement in accuracy we would like to see is more data captured from CAD drawings."

return on investment
"You can't put a ROI on promoting project safety, but this is based upon the efficiency time cost saving and not considering any rework savings."
Don't just take our word for it

Senior Project Manager
"Before discovering Civils.ai, our team was bogged down with endless hours of manual data entry. This repetitive task not only hampered our productivity but even led to cases of carpal tunnel. Since using we have not only enhanced our operational efficiency but also fostered a healthier work environment."
Edward Armstrong
Geoff Pook
Principal Engineer
"The ability to transcribe data from borehole logs and reports, no matter how old, has been a great time saver as we are have access to vast data sets of existing ground investigation data but much of it is not in AGS format. We have also been very pleased with the collaborative approach to enhancing the features with our suggestions taken on board to enhance the data output and are excited about what new features are in the pipeline."

Omid Khalaj
Principal Engineer
"Integrating Civils.ai into our operational workflow has been a game-changer for our team. Their AI's ability to digitize and make vast sets of PDF data, such as geotech reports, has significantly improved our efficiency. The responsiveness to feedback in launching new features to search and visualize data have also been welcomed. Civils.ai has not only enhanced our operational workflows but also led to better quality of submissions and impressed our clients."
Edward Armstrong
Miro Briss
Senior Project Manager
"The RAG model Civils.ai introduced to us caught our attention as it can help us to form a foundation for considerable improvements in change and risk management. The Civils.ai team has a great attitude with a fast response time, as you would expect from a start-up team aiming to develop part of a solution to resolve productivity friction in the construction industry."
Why choose Civils.ai?
Fine-tuned for construction

We develop proprietary AI specifically for construction, we've been fine-tuning our application over the past 2 years on over 100k public datasets optimising for construction document structures and terminology.

Analyse all your files (including scans & handwriting)

Many project decisions rely on analysing archived data. We outperform other AI applications by using cutting-edge methods to process historic scanned documents ensuring you aren't losing key data.

Best in class data privacy

We work in compliance with your project NDA's. We offer options to run Civils.ai on your companies own cloud server, ensuring data is hosted on your terms. Your project data is not used for any form of AI training. Data processed by our application is discarded 12 hours after your project is deleted, including any backup data.

Available on all devices

Always have answers about your project even when you are away from your laptop. Civils.ai is a web application available on tablets and mobile phones.

Frequently asked questions
Answers to common questions about our services for individuals and companies.

Searching for technical information across construction project reports and drawings is a drain on resources with a reported 40% of construction data being used by the right people at the right time.

This is especially true in time restricted activities such as tendering for new projects or evaluating tender submissions.

Working mainly on tender support we have proven Civils.ai to save up to 20% of the resource cost needed on the project.

By helping your team members get access to specifications, building codes, CAD and drawing information we've also found Civils.ai improves submission quality and overall team morale as less time is spent on repetitive and manual tasks.

We also include our online AI in Construction Training Course with all our software licenses, meaning in the worst case you are upskilling your staff with relevant industry skills whilst testing a real AI solution.

Your uploaded data is stored within a relational database and cloud object storage with our best in class cloud infrastructure provider. All document data is anonymised and un-anonymised data is only viewable the user account from which the data was uploaded.

All data is transmitted through TLS and uses best practice encryption.

Yes you can automatically to delete any data you uploaded at any time by clicking the delete button when you are in your project database.

You can also write to us to request that we delete your data at any time and all data related to you will be deleted when you delete your account.

Data is stored securely on servers in the United States, by a vetted, best in class cloud infrastructure provider.

For businesses with data residency restrictions we can arrange to store data within your locality.

Yes, you certainly can.

Our system is currently optimised to process individual borehole record PDF's but you can also upload entire geo reports and we will extract the data.

We currently support any form of PDF document or report.

You can upload anything from contracts or specifications to design guides to fine tune your project AI and train it to answer questions on your documents. For geotechnical reports we can extract borehole data.

Our technology currently does not support the spatial interpretation of geometry and it does not support numerical reasoning and calculations.

For extraction of data from modern PDF's, we achieve over 95% accuracy inclding from complex table structures. For older PDF's (sampled before 1975) these are more challenging and such a high degree of accuracy cannot be guaranteed, but we are sure you will still be pleasantly surprised at how accurate the results are.

We use maximum payment security. If your card is not accepted firstly, disable your VPN or proxy server. Then make sure your name, CVC and postal code match the one on your payment card and of your bank account. Also your card country should be the same as your billing country. And finally make sure you enable 3D Secure or similar authentication on your card with your bank.

We are not currently hiring but always interested to meet new and interesting people for potential future collaborations. We suggest that you join our Discord community and introduce yourself and we can take it from there.

The discord community is also a great place to meet other like-minded digital engineers and share your ideas and we host online events from time to time.
