AI Agents
Specialized autonomous agents working in coordination
Master Orchestrator Agent
Coordinating 8 specialized agents with dependencies, parallel execution, and quality gates requires sophisticated workflow management.
Core Logic
Plans multi-agent execution workflows with dependency tracking, manages parallel and sequential execution phases, resolves conflicts between agent recommendations, validates final output quality before delivery, and coordinates agent communication through structured message protocols. Tools: Workflow Planner, Conflict Resolver, Quality Gate.
Document Intelligence Agent
Construction blueprints and specifications contain dimensions, room names, material requirements, and code references that must be accurately extracted for downstream processing.
Core Logic
Applies OCR engine optimized for architectural drawings, extracts dimensions, room names, and material specifications, analyzes document layout to understand drawing hierarchy, generates vector embeddings for semantic search, and achieves 97%+ extraction confidence. Tools: OCR Engine, Entity Extractor, Layout Analyzer.
Quantity Calculation Agent
Manual quantity takeoffs are error-prone and don't account for waste factors, unit conversions, or construction phase sequencing.
Core Logic
Applies engineering formulas for 8 material categories (Foundation, Structural, Walls, Flooring, Roofing, Electrical, Plumbing, Finishing), calculates waste factors based on material type and installation complexity (5-15%), converts between units (metric, imperial), and generates 127+ material line items with calculation breakdowns. Tools: Formula Engine, Waste Calculator, Unit Converter.
Knowledge Retrieval Agent
Material specifications, building codes, and historical project data are scattered across multiple sources and difficult to retrieve contextually.
Core Logic
Performs semantic vector search across 150,000+ construction documents, retrieves building codes for specific jurisdictions and project types, queries material specification databases with 78%+ similarity threshold, and enriches context for downstream agents with relevant knowledge. Tools: Vector Search, Building Code Lookup, Material Database.
Cost Optimization Agent
Procurement teams miss cost savings from bulk ordering, supplier alternatives, and strategic timing of purchases.
Core Logic
Compares pricing across multiple suppliers in real-time, calculates bulk discount opportunities with category consolidation, analyzes ROI for material substitutions at equivalent quality, and identifies savings through optimized sourcing strategies. Tools: Price Comparator, Bulk Calculator, ROI Analyzer.
Compliance & Safety Agent
Ensuring material plans comply with building codes, safety regulations, and material certifications requires cross-referencing multiple regulatory sources.
Core Logic
Validates against regional building codes (structural, fire safety, energy efficiency), checks material safety certifications, verifies compliance with accessibility requirements, and generates compliance checklists with pass/fail status and remediation recommendations. Tools: Code Validator, Safety Checker, Certification Verifier.
Sustainability & Carbon Agent
Construction projects need to track carbon footprint, identify sustainable alternatives, and pursue environmental certifications (LEED, BREEAM, WELL, HQE) but lack automated analysis tools.
Core Logic
Calculates total carbon footprint with Scope 1/2/3 breakdown (materials, transport, construction), retrieves Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) for materials, identifies green alternatives with CO2 reduction potential, analyzes certification requirements and progress (LEED, BREEAM, WELL, Passivhaus, HQE, DGNB), and generates sustainability recommendations with cost-benefit analysis. Tools: Carbon Calculator, EPD Lookup, Green Alternatives Finder, Certification Analyzer.
Market Intelligence Agent
Material prices fluctuate based on market conditions, and procurement timing decisions are made without visibility into price trends, supply chain risks, or supplier performance.
Core Logic
Monitors real-time commodity prices for construction materials, tracks global supply chain disruptions (weather, geopolitical, logistics), analyzes supplier performance ratings (reliability, quality, delivery, sustainability), and generates AI-powered price forecasts with buy/wait/hedge recommendations. Tools: Real-Time Price Monitor, Supply Chain Tracker, Supplier Performance Analyzer, AI Price Forecaster.
