Planaut

Planaut is an AI co-pilot for construction project management that helps contractors, builders, and project teams turn project documents into actionable project controls. Upload drawings, specs, addenda, PDFs, images, or spreadsheets, then use AI to extract scope, classify work, answer questions with source references, generate CPM schedules, create cost estimates, track budgets, and manage RFIs, submittals, change orders, daily reports, and field activity.

Unlike generic project management software, Planaut is built around the documents and workflows that drive real construction projects: scope, sequence, cost, budget, deliverables, and field execution. Every output is editable, reviewable, and designed to keep construction professionals in control while reducing the manual work behind planning and project administration.

Key Features:

• Intelligent Document Processing: Upload specs, drawings, plans, images, and spreadsheets. Planaut extracts scope items, quantities, classifications, and source references automatically.
• Schedule Generation: Create CPM schedules with trade sequencing, dependency logic, critical path analysis, Gantt views, and PDF or CSV exports.
• Cost Estimate Generation: Build detailed construction estimates from extracted scope, past cost data, custom rate sheets, labor, materials, equipment, markups, and production assumptions.
• Document Chat: Ask questions across project documents and get AI-powered answers with page-level references.
• Budget Management: Convert estimates into budgets, track costs against budget, import invoices, and flag cost variances.
• RFIs, ASIs, and Submittals: Draft, organize, and track project deliverables with AI assistance and approval workflows.
• Field Management: Capture daily reports, time and materials, issue logs, inspections, punch lists, and field progress in one place.
• Proactive Project Guidance: Monitor schedules, loose ends, and project risks so teams can catch issues before they escalate.

Use Cases:

• Contractors turning bid documents into scopes, estimates, and schedules.
• Project managers creating construction schedules from plans and specifications.
• Builders tracking budget, cost, RFIs, submittals, change orders, and daily activity.
• Construction teams centralizing documents, contacts, project controls, and field workflows.
• Small and growing construction teams that want AI automation without losing control of the final work product.
