RAG Document Search for a 150-Employee Construction Company

The problem

• Engineers spent too long finding the right drawings, site logs and acceptance reports.
• Departments worked from out-of-sync information, which caused process errors.
• Data from the jobsites was not consolidated fast enough for reporting.
• Onboarding new staff took significant time and effort.

What we built

1. Audited and standardised the existing document and data system.
2. Built data pipelines for fast, accurate retrieval across construction documents.
3. Integrated a RAG assistant into the company's jobsite management tools.
4. Adapted the assistant to construction-specific documents and processes.
5. Trained users and provided ongoing support.

Why it matters

Construction teams lose hours to finding the right version of a drawing or report. A RAG assistant built on the company's own documents puts the answer in front of the engineer on site.
