Client Outcomes

Firms that closed the loop.

We were tracking RFIs across Procore, a shared Google Sheet, and someone's Outlook folder. Automate collapsed that into one screen. Our CA phase overhead dropped by 40% on the first project.

The submittal log was the thing keeping me at the office until 9 PM. Now it self-populates from the Revit model. I haven't manually updated a spec section reference in three months.

I can finally show the principals exactly where billable hours are going. Not a feeling, not an estimate — actual data. That conversation changed our fee structure on the next three proposals.

Drawing distribution used to mean a 2-hour export session every Friday. Now the moment a model saves with a new revision, the right consultants get the right PDF. The GC called it 'unsettlingly fast.'
