BackOffice

The back office finally does its job.

An AI-powered submittal automation tool built specifically for commercial general contractors.

🏗️ Built for commercial GCs 🗽 NYC & beyond 🧿 BackOffice, 2026

01 — The Problem

Submittals are killing your PMs.

Every commercial project requires hundreds of submittal packages. Right now, every single one is built by hand.

📖

Reading specs manually

Someone has to read through 1,000+ pages of project specifications just to figure out what needs to be submitted. Every. Single. Project.

🔍

Hunting for compliant products

PMs spend hours scouring manufacturer websites trying to find products that actually meet spec requirements — with no guarantee they're right.

📧

Chasing subs for documents

Endless email chains. Subs don't respond. Wrong documents get sent. The PM has to manually track every single item across every job.

💸

Expensive software that doesn't solve it

Procore costs $50K–$200K+ per year and still requires manual submittal building. The tools track the problem. They don't fix it.

1–3

days of PM time spent building a submittal log on a single project. On a PM billing at $75/hr, that's $600–$1,800 per project, per job — before a single document is even collected.

02 — The Solution

Three drops. One package.

BackOffice turns what used to take days into something that takes minutes. Drop your files, pick your products, get your package.

Step 01

📂

Drop Your Files

Drag in your drawings, spec book, and submittal list — or let BackOffice auto-generate the list from your specs.

Step 02

🎯

Pick Your Products

BackOffice searches our library of 50,000+ US construction products and shows you matches with a real compliance score. You pick. Done.

Step 03

📄

Get Your Package

A formatted, professional PDF submittal package — ready to hand to your architect. Add your cover page and submit.

💡 The kicker: BackOffice shows you exactly why a product qualifies — fire ratings, ASTM standards, COF ratings — scored as a percentage match against your spec. Nobody has built this for submittals. Until now.

03 — How It's Built

Smart architecture. Low cost to run.

BackOffice is designed to be affordable to operate — so we can price it for the mid-market GC, not just enterprise clients.

🗄️

Layer 1 — Product Library

A database of US construction products organized by CSI Division. Seeded from ARCAT — the industry-standard product database architects already use. Searching it costs near zero.

Near-zero cost

🔍

Layer 2 — Smart Matcher

Reads spec requirements, compares them against the product library, and generates a % compliance score for each product. No expensive AI tokens — just intelligent search.

Pennies per search

📄

Layer 3 — AI Compiler

Once you pick a product, AI assembles the formatted PDF package using only the relevant data. One targeted AI call per submittal — surgical, not wasteful.

Cents per package

04 — The Market

Big market. Wide open lane.

The construction tech market is booming — and the mid-market GC is completely underserved.

"Autodesk invested $200 million in a construction AI startup last week. FieldAI raised $405 million. The money is pouring into this space — but it's all going to robots and 3D modeling. Nobody is fixing the PM paper grind for the mid-market GC. That's exactly where we're building."
