Building the future of construction tech.
Field notes on AI takeoffs, the Sage assistant, bids, pay apps, RFIs, and the compliance grind, written for the people who actually run the job.
What the platform does, in plain words.
How AI Takeoffs Turn a Plan Set into Quantities
Manual quantity takeoffs are the single biggest bottleneck in preconstruction. We break down how Saguaro reads a PDF plan set, counts fixtures, measures linear footage, and calculates square footage automatically — and what that means for how many bids you can turn around.
Meet Sage: The AI Assistant That Lives Inside Your Project
Sage answers questions about your schedule, drafts RFIs from a photo, summarizes the day's field reports, and flags budget overruns before they become change orders. Here is how an AI copilot trained on construction workflows actually changes a PM's day.
Lien Waivers, WH-347, and ACORD 25 — Without the Paper Chase
Conditional vs. unconditional, progress vs. final — lien waiver rules differ in all 50 states. We walk through how Saguaro generates statutory waivers for Arizona, California and Texas, validates certified payroll against Davis-Bacon rates, and tracks insurance expirations so you never release a payment against a lapsed COI.
Bid Smarter: Turning Historical Data into Sharper Numbers
Every bid you submit teaches the system something. We explain how Saguaro's bid intelligence surfaces your real unit costs, builds a polished bid jacket, and helps you spot the scope gaps that quietly erode margin on fixed-price work.
Pay Apps: G702/G703 That Owners Actually Approve
Slow draws kill subcontractors. We look at how generating AIA G702/G703 pay applications straight from your schedule of values — with built-in retainage math and an owner portal for one-click approval — helps close the gap between work performed and cash in the door.
