A comprehensive architecture for capturing field operations data through multimodal AI ingestion and structuring it into the databases that power the construction lifecycle — from subcontractor to general contractor.
Every channel through which field-generated information can be captured, digitized, and routed into structured databases — organized by capture type.
The twelve primary data stores that should power the construction lifecycle, organized by architectural tier. Click any database to explore its entities and ingestion feeds.
The central registry and single source of truth for every project in the organization. All other databases reference back to the Project Master for context, hierarchy, and authorization. Holds contract terms, team roles, phases, and site details.
Tracks every person on site — employees, apprentices, and sub labor — from onboarding through payroll. Manages certifications, time entries, crew structures, pay rates, union classifications, and productivity metrics. The primary engine for cost control and compliance.
Master registry of all subcontractors, suppliers, and service providers. Tracks prequalification, insurance/bonding status, scope assignments, contract terms, and performance history. For a GC, this is critical for risk management; for a sub, it covers their own suppliers and sub-tier contractors.
Manages the project timeline at every level — from the contractual CPM master schedule down to daily work plans. Tracks activities, dependencies, constraints, delays, float consumption, and resource loading. The backbone for production planning and delay claim documentation.
Tracks the full lifecycle of every material — from specification through procurement, delivery, storage, installation, and waste. Manages purchase orders, vendor pricing, delivery scheduling, on-site inventory, material test reports, and surplus/return processing.
Manages owned and rented equipment — from heavy iron to hand tools. Tracks location, utilization, maintenance schedules, calibration records, rental agreements, and total cost of ownership. Prevents loss, optimizes fleet deployment, and ensures instruments are calibrated for test-and-inspect work.
The financial engine — tracks every dollar from original budget through change orders to final cost. Manages cost codes, committed costs (subs and POs), actual costs (labor, material, equipment), billing/pay applications, revenue recognition, and cash flow forecasting. Enables real-time earned value analysis and cost-to-complete projections.
Records every inspection, test, and quality event throughout the project. Manages inspection hold points, test results, non-conformance reports, punchlist items, commissioning records, and warranty obligations. Ensures work meets specifications and code requirements before being covered or accepted.
Comprehensive safety management — tracks incidents, near-misses, observations, training, JHAs (Job Hazard Analyses), and OSHA recordkeeping. Powers leading-indicator analytics (observation-to-incident ratios), behavioral safety programs, and EMR (Experience Modification Rate) projections.
Tracks all regulatory, contractual, and owner-mandated compliance requirements. Manages building permits, trade licenses, environmental compliance, prevailing wage/certified payroll, diversity/inclusion tracking (DBE, MBE, WBE), and sustainability certifications (LEED, WELL).
The structured repository for every project document — drawings, specifications, RFIs, submittals, transmittals, photos, and reports. Manages version control, review/approval workflows, distribution, and the final close-out document package. Every other database generates records that ultimately land here.
The chronological, searchable record of all project communications — meetings, correspondence, daily reports, notices, and directives. Critical for dispute resolution, delay claim documentation, and institutional memory. Captures not just what was communicated but the decisions made and commitments given.
