A custom AI for every construction company

We organize all the data your company has. Plans, RFIs, submittals, invoices, every document across every project, brought into one place. Then we give you an AI that answers from all of it. Use it in the trailer or in the field.

Your data stays private in your company's own vault, and it is never used to train any model.

How Vest works

Processed once. Answered in seconds.

Vest does the heavy reading up front. That is what makes complex questions across projects and documents answerable at all.

01Connect or upload

Upload your files today. Procore and Autodesk Construction Cloud connectors come online with pilot partners; SharePoint, Box and Dropbox are next.

02Every page gets processed

Sheets, specs, tables and callouts are read page by page and indexed.

03The set gets linked

Callouts point to their details, specs tie to sheets, addenda and RFI answers mark what they supersede.

04Every project, one map

Processing covers all your projects, so one question can reach any of them.

05You ask in plain language

From the office or the field. Vest searches the processed map, not a pile of PDFs.

06Cited answer, fast

Simple lookups in seconds, complex cross-project pulls in tens of seconds, always with the exact page highlighted.

Why a chatbot can't do this

A chatbot starts from zero on every question, and a single project runs thousands of pages across drawings, specs and addenda. Vest processes everything ahead of time, so answers stay cited and fast across your whole company.

What Vest does

Ask Vest anything about your projects.

Like ChatGPT, Copilot, or Claude, but it answers from your own plans, specs, and submittals and shows you the exact page it came from.

Every project, one answer away

Ask about any job, current or closed. Which spec section governed the curtain wall. What the change order said. Where the RFI settled it.

Catches the documents disagreeing

Drawings against specs, submittals against both. Vest flags the conflict, shows each source, and drafts the RFI to settle it before the field builds it.

Keeps everyone on the current sheet

Vest knows what every addendum, revision and RFI answer changed, and warns you before anyone builds off a dead sheet. Architects don't always redraw after an RFI response. Vest remembers it anyway.

Drafts the paperwork you owe

Door and hardware schedules, RFIs, change summaries, emails. Compiled from your documents with the sources cited, ready to send.

Setup

We do the hard part for you.

Vest is only as good as the data behind it, and in construction that data is scattered. Drives, inboxes, the trailer, paper, and a dozen apps. Most teams do not have time to pull it all together. So we do.

If your data is scattered everywhere

Our engineer comes to you, finds every place your data lives, and puts it in order. Then we set up your team so new files keep flowing in. You do not need a tech person on staff.

If you are already on Procore or Autodesk

Even easier. Upload your files today, and our Procore and Autodesk Construction Cloud connectors come online with pilot partners. No migration.

Either way: every document in one place, and an AI that answers from it.
Trust & security

Every answer comes with the receipt.

Vest never asks you to take its word. Every answer points straight to the source in your own files, the exact page, highlighted and ready to check. And when your documents cannot support an answer, Vest tells you so instead of guessing.

Your own vaultCompany-specific isolated storage and database. Building toward federal compliance requirements.
Never trains anyone's modelsWritten no-training terms with every AI provider we use.
Full audit trailEvery question, answer and cited source is logged, append only.
Your company sign-inSSO with MFA. Remove someone from your directory and they're out of Vest.
Built for who sees what: the full product keeps contracts, financials, and HR walled off from the field unless you say otherwise.
Will it make things up?

Any AI can. That is why every answer opens the exact page it came from, highlighted, so you can check it in seconds. When the documents cannot support an answer, Vest says so. Other tools quote accuracy percentages. Vest shows you the page, or tells you it can't.

Is our data used to train AI models?

No. We hold written no-training terms with every AI provider we use.

We already use Procore or Autodesk Construction Cloud. Why add Vest?

Keep them. Vest works alongside them. Platform assistants answer only inside their own platform. Vest reads the whole set together, drawings through RFIs, and opens the page that proves the answer.

How long does setup take?

Days, not months. We run the document processing ourselves and check the results before they reach you.

What does the field need to learn?

Nothing. Anyone who can send a text can ask Vest a question from a phone.

Can we use this on U.S. government, federal or military projects?

We are building toward it. The groundwork is already in place: a company-specific isolated vault, US-based processing end to end, and SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001 and ISO/IEC 42001 audits underway. The federal requirements those jobs demand come next, and we scope them with pilot partners who need them. If that's your work, tell us on the pilot form.

We're on the design side, not a GC. Is Vest for us?

Vest is built for contractors first, but the same engine works in reverse: catch the conflicts before the set goes out, and answer the contractor's RFIs before they ask them. If that's you, write to hello@vest.build.

What does leadership get out of it?

A live view of what your teams are asking: which topics come up most, where new hires need backup, and what the documents could not answer. Use it to target training and onboarding, and to fix document gaps before they cost you. It is on the Insights screen in the demo above.

Pilot program

See Vest on your own projects.

We onboard a small number of GC pilot partners at a time. Our engineer gathers and organizes your data, we spot-check everything before you judge a single answer, and we read every question Vest gets wrong.

Get Vest

I started as a construction laborer. Most of my family and friends still work in construction, where good crews lose whole days chasing answers that are already written down somewhere.

At Apple I met the mentor who is now my co-founder. We each built our own AI startup, his in machine learning and computer vision. Then we asked architects, project managers, superintendents and foremen what was missing. The same answer kept coming back: construction intelligence. That's what Vest is.

Why we call it Vest

A vest is a piece of gear you'll find on every jobsite. You put it on to do the work, every day. And to vest someone is to trust them with something that matters. That is what we're building: the tool your team puts on every working day, vesting everyone on the job with your company's full knowledge.
