Tender take-offs

Drawings in, priced bill of quantities out — in your framework template, with your rates pre-loaded.
The construction firms that win the next decade run on AI.
Pilot in days or weeks. Pay only if it works. No upfront fee, no lock-in.
0 upfront.
Pay only when it works on your data, in your templates, in your hands. The risk sits with us, not you.
Drawings in, priced bill of quantities out — in your framework template, with your rates pre-loaded.
Job-specific risk assessments and method statements drafted from the brief — matched to your client's exact template.
Sub-contractor documents compiled, indexed, and dropped into the client's required structure — ready for sign-off.
EICR, electrical, fire — expiries tracked, renewal letters drafted, audit packs always ready.
AI reads the programme, cost submissions, the contract, every CEMAR notification and email — produces a defensible draft. Works the same in reverse when a claim's been made against you.
The spreadsheet the whole business depends on that nobody trusts. Data in five places that never agrees. We quietly fix it.
UK tunnelling contractor · Enterprise operations
A five-year project pipeline collapsed onto a single page: fleet capacity, hire requirements, revenue at risk. Replaces the spreadsheet that took a week to refresh.
Utility client · Live bridge programme
Paper inspection sheets retired. Site engineers in PPE log concrete core results on a phone. Audit-ready digital log with full chain of custody, deployed at job-site speed.
Utility client · Multi-year delivery
Stakeholders stopped hunting through forty emails for the milestone position. One authenticated page, password-protected, single source of truth for the whole programme.
20 minutes, free. We pick the one painful thing your team would most like back. No slides, no demo theatre.
Low-cost pilot scoped to that one job. Built on your data, with your templates, by us. You see it work in days, not quarters.
A live link, updated each week. Your team uses it as real users would. You give feedback against real software, not slides.
Happy with it? Move to a small monthly sub — cancel anytime. Not happy? Walk away. No upfront fee, no lock-in, no big project.
The whole point: the risk sits with us, not you. For not much money, you finally get something sorted that's annoyed you for years.
You don't have to read this. But if you want to know whether the AI is the real thing or vendor wrapper theatre — here's what's actually behind it.
The same large-scale models that power Claude and ChatGPT — picked per job. Not toy chatbots, not stripped-down freebies. Reasoning models for the hard work.
Your documents, contracts, framework templates — used as the AI's reference. Never used to train other people's models. RAG pipelines on your tenants. Your data stays yours.
Software ships to your URL or ours. UK/EU servers by default. Your IT team can audit the lot — code, infra, data flows. No black-box SaaS warehouses.
We write the code. No no-code shortcuts, no off-the-shelf vendor wrappers, no agency middlemen. Just engineering — by people who've worked construction.
"We've been burned by software before."
Most firms have. Our pilots are deliberately small for exactly that reason — you only pay properly if it actually works for you. If the pilot misses, you walk away without a big number on the invoice.
"I don't want our data going to Silicon Valley."
Fair. We deploy to your domain or ours, you own the source code, and our infrastructure sits on UK/EU servers by default. We don't sell or train commercial models on your data — your data stays your data.
"We're not a tech-savvy business."
Neither were our last three clients. The tools we build are designed for office and site staff, not engineers. If a QS can't use it after a one-hour intro, it doesn't ship.
"Will it match our framework's templates exactly?"
Yes. Your template, your margins, your rules — baked into the output. Standard practice — we don't ship anything that wouldn't pass your auditor's check on format.
"How much does it actually cost?"
Pilot is low cost, deliberately kept small. After that, a small monthly subscription — and only if you want to keep it. We'll be straight with you on numbers during the scoping call, not three emails in.
AiPM is a programme of Pang and Chiu — a management, data, planning, and AI consultancy trading since 2009. Seventeen years of operational delivery on UK infrastructure: rail, water, civils. Site people, not Silicon Valley.
We engineer the AI ourselves. No subcontracting, no white-labelled vendor tools. The pilots we run go live on your domain, on your data, in weeks not quarters.
And because we've worked construction, we don't need you to explain CEMAR, dayworks, RAMS, or what a Section 278 sign-off looks like. AI is under the bonnet — what you see is software your team can actually use.
One painful job. One 20-minute call. One pilot — only if you want one.
