How can general contractors use AI?

In short

General contractors use AI to see every job in one place and to keep the paperwork moving: agents track schedules, submittals and RFIs, match invoices to orders and receipts, assemble daily reports from the field, and flag cost and schedule risk early. Project managers and superintendents approve commitments, and the record of each job stays complete.

Why construction suits a shared model

Every job runs on a mix of project management, accounting, scheduling and document tools, plus whatever the subs use. A model of jobs, cost codes, commitments, documents and crews ties them together, so a late delivery shows up in the schedule, the cost report and the owner update at once.

Frequently asked questions

Does AI work with our project management software?

Fig connects to the project management, accounting and scheduling tools a contractor already runs, in place.

Can crews use it in the field?

Yes, by voice, photo and messaging on the phones they already carry, with sign-in tied to their role.

What should a contractor measure?

Days to pay subs, overdue submittals and RFIs, change order cycle time and schedule variance, against a baseline.
