These are real automations from active Plant engagements. Every one includes a human approval gate for anything that matters.
Bidding is where hours disappear: retyping, takeoffs, spec reading, and gut-feel pricing. Plant turns it into a system.
Handwritten or long-form estimates convert automatically into your Excel bid sheet with no retyping and no transposition errors.
Drop in a solicitation and get a printable breakdown flagging the due date, bond requirements, wage requirements, and liquidated damages, so you can decide fast.
Scans bid documents for high-risk language and pay-item traps, the hidden exposure that costs real money, before you commit a number.
Reads each spec to decipher the true scope of every pay item, so the same line item gets priced to what it actually includes in this contract.
Every bid and award feeds a structured database, so future estimates draw on real prices from work you've actually won, and they get smarter with use.
Schedules of values and submission forms populate automatically from your estimate and company data, ready to submit.
When commissions, margins, and payroll ride on the numbers, accuracy isn't optional. These automations post everything to the right place and catch mistakes before they reach the books.
Approved invoices, receipts, and POs post automatically to the correct job's cost sheet, file to the job folder, and get readied for the books. Your existing approvals stay in place.
Custom rules check every entry against your expected ranges. A fat-fingered extra zero gets flagged and you're alerted immediately, before it hits the books.
Reads a proposal, applies the correct client-specific markups and data, and populates your change-order template automatically, with no spec-book hunting.
Hours split automatically by wage type (prevailing wage, base, overtime, holiday, PTO) into a plug-and-play input for your payroll provider.
Equipment hours and job-coded receipts flow from daily sheets straight into job costing, with no re-keying.
Leadership shouldn't have to compile reports to know how the business is doing. These build themselves.
One live view across all active jobs: contract value, budget, committed cost, cost to date, invoiced, paid, change orders, percent complete, and projected margin.
Each job's dashboard refreshes automatically as bills, change orders, and daily sheets are processed.
A quick-look health check of every job, compiled automatically on your cadence. No one has to build it.
A clean summary of decisions and action items delivered automatically after every meeting.
Follow-up lists compiled automatically from meetings, outstanding items, and emails still waiting on a response.
Your brand, your templates, your filing system, generated and maintained automatically.
Any company document produced automatically with your letterhead, formatting, colors, and contact info built in.
When a new award lands, a standardized job folder builds itself from your template and populates with the contract, specs, drawings, and forms, with no manual setup.
Submittals collected and compiled automatically, tracked to closure.
Bulletins and contract changes compared automatically against your scope, with anything affecting you flagged.
Nothing is sent externally and no money moves without explicit human approval. Every sensitive action is gated.
Custom security controls keep your bids, pricing, and employee information usable only internally. Your data is never used to train public AI models.
Each automation is scoped only to the folders it touches, and credentials are never handled by the automation itself.
You receive SOP documentation for every automation, so you can see exactly how it works. Nothing is a black box.
A two-division construction company was growing, and the office work grew with it. Handwritten estimates retyped into Excel. Certified payroll split by hand across five wage types every week. Invoices and receipts for roughly 40 open projects entered by one person, with commissions riding on every number.
Plant is putting that work on rails: estimates convert automatically, costs post to the right job on their own, payroll splits itself, change orders populate with the correct client-specific markups, and leadership sees every job's health on a live dashboard, with a human approving anything that matters.
If your team does it repeatedly with documents, spreadsheets, or email, Plant can very likely automate it. Tell us what eats your day.
