AI agents for admin and front office teams in construction

Actionist is an AI automation tool whose agents operate the apps your construction admin team already uses, from chasing licence renewals and insurance certificates by hand to an agent tracking each due date.

Construction office teams get back the hours lost to renewals, certificates, filing, and inbox sorting.

Where you spend your time

Why Construction Admin & Front Office teams switch

We know how your week actually goes

What matters to you
  • No licence or policy lapses unseen
    Contractor licences, liability policies, and bonds are tracked, and renewal packs start weeks before the date.
  • Certificate requests answered in one pass
    A client asks for a COI, and the broker request is drafted with the right holder wording.
  • Prequalification forms stop eating weeks
    Safety stats, EMR, and insurance details are filled from one record rather than retyped per client.
  • Drawings filed by revision, not by guess
    Every new sheet set lands in the right job folder and on the revision register with a transmittal drafted.
  • The office inbox sorted before nine
    Permit office replies, supplier paperwork, and field requests reach the right desk with a note on what is needed.
  • Built around your office stack
    These are examples of what a construction admin agent can do. Build a custom agent for whatever your office repeats.

And hundreds of other tasks you do manually..

An agent can take a lot off your team's plate. Take a look below to see the time and cost you could save by adding AI agents to your Construction Admin & Front Office team's day.

The problem

Where the hours go

  • A liability policy, a contractor licence, or a surety bond expires on a date nobody was watching, and the first anyone hears is when a client asks for a certificate or a permit application is refused.

    An agent keeps one register of every licence, policy, and bond with its expiry, drafts the renewal pack weeks ahead, and tells the office manager what needs a signature.

  • Clients and general contractors keep asking for certificates of insurance and prequalification forms, each wanting the same facts in a different format, so the office retypes safety stats and policy details again and again.

    An agent reads each request, fills the standard facts from one company record, drafts the broker request, and leaves the wording and the submission for a person to approve.

  • Drawings arrive by email in new revisions, and the register, the folder, and the people on site end up on different versions because filing and transmittals fall to whoever has a spare ten minutes.

    An agent files each revision into the job folder, updates the register, and drafts the transmittal, so the paper trail is complete even when nobody had time to do it.

  • The shared inbox mixes permit office replies, supplier statements, delivery tickets, and crew requests, and an important message can sit unread behind twenty routine ones.

    An agent labels and routes the inbox each morning, flags anything from a building department, and gives each desk a short list of what it needs to act on.

Triggers

Your Agent wakes up Automatically whenever something happens

Your agents watch the apps you already use and act the moment something happens, usually within about a minute, handle it based on your instructions, 24/7.

WhenA client asks for a certificate of insurancefires within about a minute
The agent automatically

When a client or general contractor emails a request for a certificate of insurance, the agent reads it within about a minute, notes the holder and any special wording, checks the policy register for current cover, and drafts the message to the broker. The draft waits for a person to approve the wording before the broker hears anything.

Trust & control

You stay in control

An agent that handles your licences, certificates, and drawings only earns trust if you stay in control. Actionist is built so you see everything it touched, approve anything that reaches a broker, a client, or a building department, and own every record it keeps.

Broker and client messages wait for approval

A certificate request to your broker, a reply to a client, or a transmittal to the project team is drafted first and queued for your sign-off. Nothing leaves unless you widen that autonomy yourself.

Legal and insurance decisions stay with people

The agent prepares renewal packs and reads contract clauses, but you decide on cover, wording, and signatures, and nothing is submitted to a regulator or board on its own.

A full record of every filing and change

Every sheet it files, register line it adds, and status it copies from a permit portal is logged with a time, so you can see exactly what changed and when.

Your company and project data stays yours

Licence numbers, policy details, contracts, and drawings are encrypted and never used to train any model. Self-host on a VPS if everything must stay on your own infrastructure.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Does my construction admin team need to be technical to use Actionist?
No. Actionist is built for office and admin teams, not developers. You describe in plain language how your renewals, certificates, filing, and inbox work, connect the apps you already use, and the agent does the rest. Most tools need no API setup because the agent operates the apps the way a person would.
How do I get started with an admin agent for our contracting office?
Book a free demo and an Actionist team member will walk through your most repetitive office chore, whether that is renewal tracking, certificate requests, or drawing filing, and set up a working example you can test against your own folders. Most teams have a first agent running within a day of the demo.
How do I make customised AI agents for how our contractor office actually runs?
Start by telling the agent which office job it owns, which of your apps it works in, and what must wait for your approval. For certificates you give it your policy register and wording rules; for filing you give it your folder and naming standard. It applies them every run, and you adjust them as your process changes.
How quickly can I set a construction admin agent up?
A simple agent, such as one that sorts the shared inbox or tracks renewal dates from your register, can be running within hours of your demo. Agents spanning several tools, like drawing intake into Drive, the register, and Slack, usually take one to three days of adjustment. You test against a copy of your folders before it touches live ones.
Where does our licence, insurance, and contract data live, and is it used to train AI models?
Your licence numbers, policy details, contracts, and drawings stay yours. Everything the agent reads and writes is encrypted, and none of it is used to train any AI model. Every action is logged in an audit trail, and if you need everything on your own infrastructure you can self-host Actionist on a VPS.
How does an agent check building department permit portals without an API?
It uses computer use in the cloud: the agent opens the portal the way you do, signs in with the access you provide, reads the status on screen, and records it in your tracker. That works for portals with no integration, because it operates the real interface, and anything it submits or changes first waits for your approval.
Will it send a certificate request or a transmittal without me seeing it first?
By default, anything that reaches a broker, a client, or the project team waits for your approval. The agent drafts the request or the transmittal, queues it in Slack or your inbox, and acts only once you confirm. You can widen that autonomy for low-risk steps, but messages outside the company always ask first.
Can it keep up when bid season and several live jobs overlap?
Yes. The scheduled checks that watch renewals, drawing intake, and the inbox run on the same cadence in a heavy week as in a quiet one. What changes is the volume they handle, so a pile of revisions during a busy bid month is filed and registered the same way an ordinary Tuesday's are.
Will it handle our phone line or take voicemail messages?
No. The agent does not take, make, or listen to calls, and it never staffs a phone line. It can read the call log and voicemail transcripts that a connected phone app such as RingCentral already produces, and turn them into a morning list of missed calls for your people to return.
