The founder
From the field to the systems behind it.
Daniel has spent ten years in commercial specialty construction: estimating, project management, purchasing, change orders and submittals on metal framing, drywall and acoustical ceiling work. He studied Industrial & Systems Engineering at Texas A&M.
The same pattern shows up in every growing company: good people doing good work on top of scattered spreadsheets, disconnected software and processes that live in one person's head. When that person is out, bids slow down and paperwork piles up.
AIQ exists to fix that, with systems built by someone who has priced the walls, chased the change orders and closed out the jobs.

What we believe
How we think about the work.
Construction first, technology second
We start with how the work actually runs. Software and AI serve the process, never the other way around.
AI assembles, people commit
AI drafts and checks. Estimators and PMs decide. Every number that leaves your office is reviewed by your team.
Your system, not ours
We build on your crews, your pricing and your tools, so the system fits your company and stays with it.
Small steps that stick
One working piece in use beats a big plan on paper. We build, prove it, then expand.
