What's new in Saguaro.
Every release that ships to your account: AI takeoffs, the Sage assistant, the field app, pay-app approvals, and compliance. Built for general contractors, shipped continuously.
AI Takeoff — Full-Set Blueprint Estimating
Drop in an entire plan set and Saguaro reads every sheet. The AI Takeoff engine now detects scale automatically, measures linear feet, square footage, and counts, and maps quantities straight into a bid line by line.
- New AI Takeoff reads multi-page PDF plan sets — walls, slabs, openings, and fixture counts in one pass.
- New Auto scale detection from the title block, with a one-click calibration override per sheet.
- New Push measured quantities directly into a bid package — no re-keying into a spreadsheet.
- Improved Takeoff measurements now snap to detected edges for tighter linear and area accuracy.
Meet Sage — Your AI Construction Assistant
Sage lives inside every project and answers in plain English. Ask it to draft an RFI, summarize a pay app, find the latest COI for a sub, or flag which lien waivers are still outstanding — and it acts on your live project data.
- New Sage AI assistant available on every project — ask questions about budgets, RFIs, subs, and schedule.
- New One-line prompts draft RFIs, change orders, and submittal cover letters from project context.
- New Sage surfaces compliance gaps: expiring insurance, missing lien waivers, and unsigned change orders.
- Improved Document search now understands intent — "show me the structural revisions" returns the right sheets.
Saguaro Control Systems — The Mobile App for the Jobsite
The field crew finally has a tool built for gloves and sunlight. Saguaro Control Systems puts daily logs, photos, time, and punch lists in everyone's pocket — and it keeps working when the cell signal does not.
- New Saguaro Control Systems app for iOS, and in the browser on Android — daily logs, jobsite photos, and punch lists from the field.
- New Offline field capture — capture logs and photos with no signal and sync automatically when you reconnect.
- New Photos geotag and timestamp to the right project and cost code on capture.
- Improved Field updates flow into the office dashboard in real time — no end-of-day data entry.
Pay-App Approvals & AIA G702/G703 Automation
Progress billing without the spreadsheet gymnastics. Build AIA G702/G703 pay applications from your schedule of values, route them for approval, and let owners and subs sign off through their own portal.
- New Multi-step pay-app approval workflow — PM, accounting, and owner sign-off with a full audit trail.
- New Auto-generated AIA G702/G703 from the schedule of values, with stored materials and retainage calculated.
- New Owner & Sub Portals let outside parties review and approve pay apps without a Saguaro login.
- Fixed Retainage release on the final pay app now reconciles correctly against prior billings.
Lien Waivers & Certified Payroll
Stay protected and prevailing-wage compliant without leaving the platform. Generate conditional and unconditional lien waivers with state-specific statutory language, and produce WH-347 certified payroll validated against current Davis-Bacon rates.
- New Lien waiver generator for any state, with statutory language for AZ, CA and TX.
- New WH-347 certified payroll generator with DOL Davis-Bacon prevailing-wage validation by trade and county.
- Improved ACORD 25 insurance tracker now parses uploaded COIs and flags coverage that lapses before substantial completion.
- Fixed Arizona preliminary notice deadlines now count from the date first furnished.
