AI Construction Contract Search Agent
Automating Construction Contract Clause Search with AI
The agent ingests Division 00, Division 01, AIA A201 General Conditions, and all technical specifications—then makes them searchable by clause, topic, deadline, and responsible party so PMs find enforceable requirements in seconds, not hours.
Conflict Detection and Precedence Logic
AI automatically identifies where Supplementary Conditions modify A201 or where Division 01 requirements override boilerplate, surfacing the governing clause with clear precedence notes and cross-references.
Deadline Tracking and Compliance Assets
The system extracts notice windows, submittal turnaround times, and pay app cycles from contract language, then generates actionable matrices, calendar entries, and notice templates aligned to AIA G-series forms.
How Cassidy automates contract analysis using AI
Step 1: Trigger on document upload
The Workflow activates when contract documents are added to the Knowledge Base—whether from Procore, SharePoint, or direct upload—including Division 00, AIA A201, Division 01 General Requirements, and technical specifications.
Step 2: Parse and normalize contract structure
Cassidy applies OCR and layout parsing to segment documents by CSI MasterFormat divisions, AIA article numbers, and SectionFormat (Part 1–3), while tracking versions across addenda, bulletins, and Supplementary Conditions.
Step 3: Extract and tag clauses
The Agent identifies clause types (Notice, Time, Cost, Submittal, Warranty, Closeout), responsible parties (Owner, Contractor, Architect), triggers (NTP, Substantial Completion), timeframes, and required forms—then maps cross-references between documents.
Step 4: Enable natural-language search
PMs query the Knowledge Base conversationally—"What's the deadline for a substitution request?" or "What are the closeout deliverables?"—and Cassidy retrieves relevant clauses with faceting by Division, document source, and revision.
Step 5: Assemble cited answers
Cassidy generates responses that quote operative language verbatim, cite section and article numbers (e.g., "AIA A201-2017 §15.1.3"), and flag related clauses that modify or supersede—providing defensible documentation for RFIs, changes, and disputes.
Step 6: Generate compliance deliverables
The Workflow outputs submittal matrices, deadline calendars, notice templates, and responsibility assignments—exportable to PDF, CSV, or synced directly to project management platforms with full audit trail.
