Early Access: AEC Project Communication

Your project communication
runs itself.

Transmittal is an AI project assistant for AEC firms. It handles follow-ups, document chasing, and subcontractor communication automatically, through text, email, and WhatsApp, running on your own private server. No new app to learn. No project data leaving your infrastructure.

The problem

Your architects and project managers are spending hours every week on follow-up emails and status chasing. That is not what you hired them for.

Every unanswered question, every document waiting on a response, every subcontractor who needs a nudge. It looks small in isolation. But the accumulation quietly eats your project fee.

48%
of construction rework comes from poor communication
McKinsey estimates that nearly half of all construction rework results from missed communication and inaccurate project information, costing the global industry billions annually.
30%
fee overrun by the time anyone notices
Dozens of extra responses and document reviews do not look like a problem from the inside. They look like a project keeping the team busy. By the time anyone notices, the firm has done 30% more work than they were paid for, with the project still months from completion.
81%
average time actually spent on billable work
The rest goes to chasing, following up, and administrative communication that nobody budgeted for. For principals and senior staff, that unbillable time is the most expensive time in the firm.
73%
of architecture and engineering firms not yet using AI
Only 27% of firms use AI to automate any part of their operations. The ones that do are pulling ahead. The window to get ahead of this is open right now, but it is closing fast.
The solution

AI that works where your team already lives.

Transmittal runs on your own private server. It connects to text message, email, and WhatsApp, the channels your subcontractors and vendors already use. Nothing to install on their end. No new app to learn. No project data leaving your infrastructure.

01
Automatic Follow-Ups

Transmittal drafts responses to project questions, logs them, and automatically follows up if no reply arrives within 48 hours. It understands construction workflows. Not a generic chatbot, a project-aware assistant.

Text, Email, WhatsApp
02
Document Status Chasing

"Where is that drawing?" sent automatically on your behalf. Transmittal tracks outstanding documents across your active projects and escalates when deadlines approach, without you having to remember.

Auto-escalation
03
Fee Overrun Alerts

Transmittal tracks how much extra work your team is absorbing and warns you before it turns into a fee overrun. The first tool that catches the problem before it happens, not after.

Scope protection
04
Invoice Fraud Detection

Construction firms receive large invoices regularly and are a frequent target for payment fraud, where criminals intercept emails and redirect payments. Transmittal flags suspicious payment requests before money moves. No competitor offers this.

Security layer
05
Built for Security from the Ground Up

Transmittal is deployed inside your own private infrastructure, your AWS environment or on-premise server. Your project files, client data, and confidential drawings never leave your network. No data sharing with any third party. Every deployment is hardened specifically for AEC security requirements by someone with a formal cybersecurity background, not a generic software installer.

Private deployment
06
Health and Safety Plans

Generate a compliant health and safety plan for a new project in 15 minutes instead of 8 hours. Transmittal is trained on current regulations and your past project data to produce documentation that is ready to submit.

Regulatory compliance
Security

Your project data belongs to you. Not us. Not anyone else.

Most AI tools process your data on shared cloud infrastructure. That means your confidential drawings, client communications, and project financials are sitting on someone else's servers.

Transmittal is different. Every deployment runs inside your own private infrastructure, your AWS environment or on-premise server. The AI processes your data where your data already lives. Nothing moves.

Deployed inside your infrastructure
Runs in your AWS VPC or on-premise server. Never exposed to the public internet. Never touches shared cloud infrastructure.
Hardened by someone with a cybersecurity background
Every Transmittal deployment is configured and hardened by Errol Peart, who holds a degree in cybersecurity and a certificate in cloud operations and security. Not a generic install. A secure one.
No third party ever sees your data
Your project communications, drawings, and client information never leave your network. Suitable for firms handling government contracts, NDAs, and confidential client projects.
Encrypted communications throughout
All data in transit is encrypted. All stored credentials use AES-256 encryption. Nothing is transmitted in plaintext.

Who it's for

Built for the firms Procore
was not designed for.

Architecture Firms

5 to 50 person practices managing multiple projects at once, spending too much time responding to questions and chasing documents instead of doing the design work they were hired for.

General Contractors

Mid-size contractors coordinating 10 to 30 subcontractors per project. Their subcontractors communicate by text, email, and WhatsApp. Transmittal meets them where they already are.

Engineering Firms

Structural, mechanical, and civil engineering practices handling government contracts or confidential client projects that cannot use public cloud tools to store their data.

IT Partners

Technology service providers who already support architecture and construction firms and want to offer a high-value AI service that solves a real, daily operational problem for their clients.

Built with AEC firms, not for them.

Transmittal is being shaped by real conversations with project managers, principals, and GCs before a single line of production code is written. If you work in AEC and want to influence what gets built, we want to hear from you.
