AI agents for operations teams in construction
Actionist is an AI automation tool whose agents operate the apps your construction ops team uses, from chasing subs by phone to an agent that confirms the schedule and drafts the daily report before the crew clocks in.
Construction ops teams get back the hours lost to sub chasing, RFI logging, and daily reports.

Where you spend your time
We know how your week actually goes
- Every sub confirmed before MondayEach trade's attendance is confirmed, conflicts flagged, and drawings sent before the crew shows up to a closed gate.
- RFIs answered, not stuck in an inboxEvery request for information is logged, routed to its owner, and chased on schedule until it closes.
- Change orders scoped the day they're askedScope and programme impact are drafted the moment a client requests it, ready for sign-off before pricing starts.
- The daily site report writes itselfWeather, attendance, progress, and photos from every site are compiled without anyone typing it up at 6pm.
- Deliveries tracked against the programmeMaterials and equipment are checked against the schedule so a late shipment is chased before it stalls a crew.
- Built around your ops stackThese are examples of what a construction ops agent can do. Build a custom agent for whatever your site team 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 Operations team's day.
Where the hours go
Confirming next week's sub schedule means calling or texting every trade one by one to check they are still coming, because the schedule in the project tracker is never quite trusted until someone hears a human voice say yes.
An agent confirms each sub's attendance for the coming week against the programme, flags any trade that has not responded or double-booked a space, and sends the drawings and site access details once confirmed.
RFIs sit in an inbox because logging one, working out who actually owns the answer, and then chasing the architect a second and third time is the kind of follow-up that gets pushed past a hard deadline.
An agent logs every RFI the moment it is raised, routes it to the named respondent, and chases it on a schedule until it closes, so a crew is never standing around waiting on an answer that was never followed up.
The daily site report gets written from memory at the end of a long day, because pulling together weather, crew attendance, progress notes, and photos from three different places while still on site is not realistic.
An agent compiles weather, crew attendance, progress, and site photos into the daily record as the day happens, so the report is accurate and done before anyone leaves the trailer.
A materials delivery runs late and nobody notices until the crew is standing on site with nothing to install, because tracking every inbound delivery against the programme for every trade is not a job with enough hours in the day.
An agent checks expected deliveries against the programme daily, chases the supplier the moment one is running behind, and flags the programme impact to the project manager before the crew arrives to find nothing there.

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.

What your agent runs for you
- Operations100 min / weekConfirming the week's sub schedule
The project manager calls or texts every trade booked for the coming week one by one to check they are actually still coming, because the programme alone is never trusted.
Operations Agent0 minAgent confirms every trade before MondayAn agent sends a confirmation request to every scheduled trade, flags any that have not responded by midday, and sends the drawings and access details once confirmed.
- Operations120 min / weekChasing overdue RFIs with the design team
Someone checks the RFI tracker, works out which requests have gone past their due date, and writes a follow-up to the architect or engineer for each one, usually days after a crew already stalled.
Operations Agent0 minAgent chases every overdue RFI the day it lapsesAn agent checks the tracker daily, sends a follow-up to the named respondent the day an RFI passes its due date, and escalates to the project manager anything chased twice with no answer.
- Operations110 min / weekDrafting a change order's scope and impact
A project manager writes up what the client asked for, digs through the drawing set to reference the affected sheets, and manually recalculates the programme impact days after the request was made.
Operations Agent0 minAgent drafts the scope and impact the day it's askedAn agent documents the requested scope, references the affected drawings, and calculates the programme impact the same day, queued for the project manager's review before pricing starts.
- Operations80 min / weekChasing a supplier for a late delivery
Someone notices materials never arrived only when the crew is already on site with nothing to install, then scrambles to call the supplier and work out a revised delivery time.
Operations Agent0 minAgent checks deliveries and chases the same dayAn agent checks every expected delivery against the programme each morning, flags anything unconfirmed three days out, and drafts the supplier chase the moment a window is missed.
- Operations90 min / weekChasing punch list items to completion
The punch list sits at ninety percent for weeks because nobody has time to individually chase every trade on their remaining item after the client walkthrough is already done.
Operations Agent0 minAgent chases every overdue item automaticallyAn agent checks the punch list daily for items past their agreed completion date, sends a chase to the responsible sub, and updates the tracker once site confirms it is done.

You stay in control
An agent touching your subs, your schedule, and your client's scope changes only earns trust if you stay in control. Actionist is built so you see everything it touched, approve anything that reaches a client or a sub, and own every record it creates.
A change order draft, a client progress update, or a supplier chase is drafted first and queued for your sign-off. Nothing goes out to a client or a subcontractor on its own unless you widen that autonomy yourself.
When a resequence or a schedule shift is calculated, it is presented as a proposal for the project manager to review, not pushed live into the programme without a human confirming it first.
Every RFI logged, every change order drafted, and every delivery checked is recorded in a timestamped log so you can always see exactly what changed, when, and why.
Drawings, client details, and subcontractor records are encrypted and never used to train any model. Self-host on a VPS if everything needs to stay on your own infrastructure.
