Working with us
How is AIQ different from an AI agency?
We are construction systems people first. We start with how your estimating, PM and office work actually run, then fix the process. AI is one tool we use where it helps, always with your team reviewing the output.
What kind of contractors do you work with?
Commercial specialty subcontractors: drywall, metal framing, acoustical ceilings, insulation and interior finishes. Usually companies where the owner or one or two people still carry estimating and project management.
How much of my team's time will this take?
Focused working sessions, not weeks of meetings. We capture how things work, then do the building ourselves.
Do you work outside San Antonio?
Yes. Most of the work happens remotely over screen share, so location is not a limit.
We tried AI and it didn't stick. Why is this different?
Most tools fail because they start with the tool, not the problem, and stop at setup. We start with the process and stay through training and adoption.
Cost and timing
What does it cost?
It depends on scope. We start with an operations assessment so you get a clear plan and a clear price before any build work.
How long until we see something working?
We agree on a timeline before we start. Most engagements begin with a short assessment so you know what is worth building first, then we build that piece and get it in use.
Is there ongoing support after the build?
Yes, if you want it. Systems need upkeep: prices change, crews change, new estimators start. A monthly upkeep plan keeps your database, templates and automations current.
Software, AI and your data
Do we need to buy new software?
Usually not. Most of what we build lives in the tools you already pay for. If something new is worth it, we show you why before you spend a dollar.
Will AI make decisions for my estimators or PMs?
No. AI assembles, people commit. AI-assisted steps draft, check and organize; your team reviews and approves every number and every document that goes out.
Who owns what you build?
You do. Templates, databases and automations are set up in your accounts and stay with your company.
Will you see our pricing and job data?
Only what the work needs, such as your pricing when we build your price database. Your data is used for your systems only and is never shared with other clients.
