The Problem in General Contracting

These are the challenges AI solves for general contracting contractors every day.

1

Trade coordination failures cascade into costly delays

When one sub runs late, it delays every trade behind them. AI tracks real-time progress across all trades, detects schedule slippage early, and suggests resequencing options to keep the project moving.

2

RFI and submittal tracking drowns your project team

Managing hundreds of RFIs, submittals, and change orders manually leads to missed items and delayed responses. AI automates tracking, sends reminders, and flags items approaching deadline.

3

Budget overruns surface too late to correct

By the time you realize a project is over budget, the damage is done. AI provides real-time cost tracking against budget, flagging variances as they develop so you can course-correct early.

Frequently Asked Questions: AI for General Contracting

Answers to the most common questions about AI in the general contracting trade.

How does AI help general contractors coordinate trades?

AI integrates schedule data from all subcontractors, tracks task dependencies, and monitors real-time progress. When one trade falls behind, AI immediately calculates the downstream impact and suggests schedule adjustments to minimize overall project delay.

Can AI predict project schedule delays?

Yes. AI analyzes historical project data, current progress rates, weather forecasts, and resource availability to predict schedule risks weeks before they materialize. Early warning gives GCs time to add resources, resequence work, or negotiate with subs.

How does AI automate RFI and submittal tracking?

AI logs all RFIs and submittals, assigns them to responsible parties, tracks response deadlines, and sends automated reminders. It flags overdue items in daily reports and escalates critical path items that could delay construction.

Can AI help GCs with budget tracking and cost control?

Yes. AI tracks committed costs, actual expenditures, and pending change orders in real time against the project budget. It forecasts final cost at completion and flags line items trending over budget, giving project managers time to intervene.

What is the ROI of AI for general contractors?

General contractors using AI report 30% better schedule efficiency, 50% faster RFI response times, and earlier visibility into budget risks. For GCs managing $5M or more in annual volume, AI typically saves $10,000 to $30,000 per month in avoided delays and improved project outcomes.
