We're rebuilding the most error-prone work in construction.
Civils.ai is on a mission to automate the manual takeoff and document review work that costs the construction industry billions every year — and to give engineers back the time to do the work they love.
There had to be a better way.
In 2022 we started Civils.ai with one goal: automate the complex data-extraction process from PDF pre-construction documents.
Imagine a world where all you need to do is pass your construction drawings and documents to an AI and it understands all the spatial information and material requirements and if there are going to be any construction, design or procurement issues which blow the narrow 5% margin most project run on.
That's what we are building. We started by building the solution for Civil and Earthworks contractors with the aim to solve this for the entire industry.
Engineers building tools for engineers.
A small, distributed team of civil engineers, AI researchers and product builders. We ship new features every two weeks.
Civil engineer turned founder. Spent years pulling takeoffs by hand before deciding to fix the problem at the source.

Top software investors who believe in our mission.
The world's leading software investors back Civils.ai's mission to help the construction industry build a better, safer, faster future.
Built on three principles.
We work with civil engineers, contractors and consultants every day — these are the rules we hold ourselves to.
Consistency
Show upWe don't deliver heroically once and average the rest of the time. We hold the same standard on the 100th project as on the first and we will never settle for mediocrity.
Trust
Earn itWe work in an industry where reputation is everything. So we tell you upfront if something isn't possible, we tell you when we don't know, and we never optimise for closing the deal at the cost of the relationship. We build our software to facilitate this trust, allowing you to check all the answers easily and thoroughly.
Growth
Find a wayWhere there's a will, there's a way. We don't accept “that's just how construction works” as an answer — we back ourselves to find the path through problems the industry has written off. Innovation is mostly attitude, and the right attitude turns most ceilings into doors.
