AI for construction and civil contractors

The margin is won on site and lost in the paperwork

Ask a contractor where a project's margin went, and the answer is rarely the physical work. It is the site instruction that became unpaid work because the variation was never priced and claimed. It is the extension of time that failed because the delay was never evidenced as it happened. It is the progress claim assembled in a rush against a statutory deadline. It is the subcontractor claim paid because there was no time to verify it. And it is the tender priced on gut feel because the estimator was buried and the actuals from the last comparable job were scattered across three systems. On a fixed-price contract, every one of those comes straight out of margin.

Tender pricing, subcontractor rates, project correspondence and claim positions are among the most commercially sensitive information a contractor holds. That is exactly the data you cannot send to a public cloud model, and exactly why every Wild Systems build is self-hosted on hardware you own.

What we build for contractors

Every build sits on a private knowledge layer that unifies your scattered information, tenders, contracts, correspondence, site records, actuals and subcontractor history, and makes it instantly searchable. On top of that core, we build the capability costing you most:

• Tenders priced from your record. Estimates drafted from what comparable jobs actually cost you, not what the last spreadsheet hoped, for your estimator to check and submit. More tenders out, priced with evidence.
• Variations, captured and claimed. Site instructions, emails, meeting notes and diaries watched for work outside the contracted scope, priced from your actuals, and drafted into notices inside the contractual timeframes, so nothing gets built for free.
• Subcontractor claims, verified. Claimed work checked against site evidence before payment, and licences, insurances and compliance confirmed current before anyone is engaged or paid.
• Project correspondence, one thread. Requests for information, directions, approvals and disputes searchable and cited in seconds, so the commercial position is always reconstructable.
• Claims and evidence, deadline-proof. Progress claims assembled with the trail behind them and statutory and contractual deadlines tracked, so no entitlement is lost to a missed date.
• Estimating judgement, captured. The retiring estimator's pricing instinct, the productivity rates that prove out, the subbies who perform, held in a searchable layer before it leaves.

Because the infrastructure is self-hosted, your rates, margins and claim positions never leave your own systems. For a contractor, that information is the business, and it stays yours.

Built around your operation, not a template

No two contractors run the same way, so every build is bespoke. We start with a short discovery phase across your estimating, contracts and site teams to find exactly where the margin is leaking, then design the AI operations layer around your real workflow and the systems you already run.
