FIRMUS'S STORY

Using AI to predict and eliminate costly changes in construction

Construction projects rarely proceed as intended. Design changes cause projects to last up to 15% longer and increase costs up to 20%, according to studies by the Construction Industry Institute. Even worse, studies have found that 39% of on-the-job injuries occur during these extended periods of rework.

Firmus has developed a suite of AI-driven tools that scan hundreds of drawing sheets before projects start to detect problems, such as incomplete designs, scope gaps and discrepancies. The company's easy-to-use cloud-based platform allows users to simply drag and drop PDF drawing sets and receive comprehensive analyses and detailed reports on identified issues.

"In today's connected world, it's crazy to think how much time and money continues to be wasted because of miscommunications that can be prevented. When we met Carey Smith and his team at Unorthodox Ventures, we knew we had a partner who has long worked to make industry more efficient. They have the know-how to help us make our goal a reality."
