Construction Data Is Sensitive, Regulated, and Often Irreplaceable
Modern construction firms handle a unique mix of high-risk, high-value data—much of which is bound by strict compliance, legal, or contractual obligations:
Proprietary architectural and structural designs
Geospatial site models and BIM files tied to critical infrastructure
Bid packages and confidential proposals submitted to public and private clients
Job site photos, drone footage, and daily reports tied to legal traceability
Vendor contracts, submittals, RFIs, and compliance certifications
Union agreements, safety audits, and OSHA reporting
This isn’t just “business data”—it’s operational IP, often under NDAs, subject to litigation, or required to comply with frameworks like ISO 19650-2, OSHA 29 CFR 1926, CMMC, FAR/DFARS, and even local building codes.
Passing this content through consumer-grade AI tools introduces unnecessary exposure:
You don’t know where the data is stored
You can’t guarantee retention limits
You often can’t restrict where it’s processed—or who can access it in the backend
For AEC firms under tight delivery schedules, insurance-backed quality control, or working on federal infrastructure—this lack of control is a liability.
IronCloud connects to your SharePoint, OneDrive, or internal file shares and indexes construction documents in place. That means your team can ask natural-language questions across spec books, design sets, and contract folders—without uploading anything to the cloud. The AI understands construction language, acronyms, and file hierarchies, helping project engineers and PMs cut through the clutter instantly.
Use IronCloud’s natural language input (typed or voice) to create jobsite dailies, near-miss reports, and JHAs. Tie them to the correct site or project folder automatically. The AI can pull in date, location, and equipment data to help standardize logs—and export them in formats your safety or field ops team already uses. Great for mobile or field-deployed use.
IronCloud makes RFIs and submittals searchable and context-aware. Ask, “What was the status of the HVAC submittal from last Friday?” or “Is there an RFI related to slab penetrations in Zone 4?” and get a clear answer—with links to relevant drawings or specs. Ideal for preconstruction, field coordination, or design-build workflows.
Search across thousands of documents—PDFs, DWGs, XLSX schedules, photos, and field logs—with plain English. IronCloud bridges structured and unstructured content, surfacing exactly what’s relevant without exposing your data to third-party tools. Unlike basic document search, it understands context and phrasing like “electrical scope change after foundation pour.”
Upload Primavera P6, MS Project, or Excel-based timelines—then ask the AI to summarize key milestones, identify possible schedule conflicts, or extract critical path items. IronCloud helps you translate Gantt charts into actionable language and identify at-risk dependencies before they snowball into delays.
Once indexed, IronCloud lets you query your project archive conversationally. Ask:
“What were the major change orders approved in March?”
“List unresolved punch items at Site B.”
“Summarize all water intrusion issues reported in 2024.”
You’ll get structured responses with source links, dates, and responsible parties—automatically pulled from your internal logs or reporting folders.
“Summarize yesterday’s Site C log and flag overdue items.”
“Find all RFIs related to roof penetrations or HVAC routing.”
“List every safety incident involving scaffolding in Q1.”
“What’s the scope difference between Revision 2 and Revision 4 of the structural set?”
“What are the most recent change orders related to electrical scope at Site A?”
“Who signed off on the concrete pour checklist last Friday?”
IronCloud ensures that every prompt, document, and answer stays inside your environment.
No telemetry. No SaaS logging. Just audit-ready results grounded in your actual project data.
