Part of our Founders & Executives agents
AI agents for founders and executives in construction
Actionist is an AI automation tool whose agents operate the apps construction founders and executives use, from chasing managers for status to a Monday brief that assembles itself and decisions queued with facts.
Construction directors get back the hours lost to status chasing, tender summaries, and board pack writing.

Where you spend your time
We know how your week actually goes
- Every live job on one page, every morningA brief covers programme, decisions owed, and the few emails that need a director, with no round of messages.
- Go or no-go with the facts in handEach tender arrives with client history, capacity against start dates, and contract risk summarised before the deadline.
- Board and lender packs already narratedCommentary on the order book and live jobs is drafted from the figures, ready for your edit.
- Safety and renewals never catch you outIncident digests and insurance or accreditation dates reach you before an inspector or insurer does.
- Approvals queued with a one-page summaryAwards and variations above your limit wait with the facts attached, and the decision stays yours.
- Built around your leadership teamThese are examples of what a construction executive agent can do. Build a custom agent for any routine you repeat.
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 Founders & Executives team's day.
Where the hours go
Every Monday starts with a round of messages to project managers for status, and by the time the replies are pasted into one sheet the leadership meeting is already running on last week's picture.
An agent reads the job records and the tender sheet before the meeting, assembles one brief of slipping jobs and decisions owed, and posts it to the leadership channel for your edit.
A tender invitation lands with a short return date, and the go or no-go gets decided on instinct because nobody has time to check capacity, client history, and contract risk first.
An agent reads each invitation as it arrives and drafts a one-page brief with client history, capacity against committed crews, and risk, so the decision is still yours but is made with facts.
The monthly board and lender pack is a blank page of commentary at the end of a long week, written from memory of what happened on each job and what the order book now holds.
An agent drafts the commentary from the job records and the order book, flags where figures and narrative disagree, and leaves you to add the judgement before anything is circulated.
Subcontract awards and variations pile up above the authority limit, each needing a director's signature, and approvals sit in an inbox until a site manager asks why a trade has not been confirmed.
An agent queues every item over the limit with a one-page summary of scope, cost, and programme effect, so approvals are reviewed in one sitting and the decision stays with a director.

You stay in control
An agent that sees your order book, tender pricing, and lender correspondence only earns trust if you stay in control. Actionist is built so you see everything it touched, approve anything that leaves the company, and keep every commercial record on your side.
A reply to a client, a note to a lender, a bonding agent request, or a reply to a regulator is drafted first and queued for sign-off. Nothing goes out on its own unless you widen that autonomy yourself.
The agent summarises tenders, compares quotes, and writes up variations. Whether to bid, who gets the subcontract, and what is signed are decisions for a director, every time.
Every brief, summary, and queue entry is recorded with a timestamp, so you can show a lender, insurer, or auditor what was prepared, from which records, and who approved it.
Order book, pricing, and accounts are encrypted and never used to train any model. Self-host on a VPS if commercially sensitive data must stay on your own infrastructure.
