Signal for AEC is an engineering document intelligence platform that processes specifications, geotech reports, structural calcs, and contracts to surface contradictions, missing references, and expired standards before they become disputes. The system maps cross-references across project documentsessed builds a searchable knowledge base, with a one-week audit available for $25,000 and continuous monitoring starting at $7,500 per month.

Problem
Engineering and construction firms frequently miss critical information buried across specifications, geotechnical reports, structural calculations, and contracts. This leads to costly disputes—typically $500K to $5M before legal fees—along with compliance failures, defaults, and field problems stemming from documents that were never properly cross-referenced or reviewed.
Solution
Signal for AEC processes a firm's entire document environment and delivers a complete picture of gaps, contradictions, and risks within one week. The system uses deterministic classification to identify document types and authorities, then maps cross-references between specs, reports, and calculations to expose missing links and conflicting information. It flags issues such as expired standards, version mismatches, and contradictions against jurisdictional building codes and regulations. The output includes a cross-reference mapainer, risk flag report, and a searchable structured knowledge base that preserves institutional knowledge. For ongoing needs, Signal can be trained on a client's specific corpus and provides continuous ingestion, automated risk flagging, and monthly compliance re-audits.
Target Audience
Primary customers are mid-to-large engineering and construction firms working on complex commercial, infrastructure, or industrial projects with dense documentation requirements. The platform serves those who need automated cross-referencing and risk detection across specifications, geotechnical reports, and structural calculations.
Features
- Cross-reference mapping that traces which specifications reference which reports and identifies gaps in reference chains
