Racos uses AI to automatically ingest construction drawings, specifications, and related documents and generate structured scopes of work organized by trade and region. Its interactive scope editor links every line item to its source and logs all edits with full attribution, providing an auditable trail and a natural‑language knowledge explorer for data‑backed answers. This speeds up preconstruction, improves accuracy, and preserves institutional decision history for contractors and design‑build firms.

Problem
Construction preconstruction teams spend extensive time manually extracting and organizing scope information from heterogeneous project documents, leading to bottlenecks, inconsistent scopes, and a lack of traceable decision history.
Solution
Racos applies artificial intelligence to ingest construction drawings, specifications, and related documents, automatically generating structured scopes of work organized by trade and region. The platform presents a searchable scope editor where each line item is linked to its source document, and any edits are logged with full attribution, creating an auditable trail. Users can query the knowledge base in natural language, receiving answers grounded in project data with citations. As projects are processed, the system captures institutional knowledge, allowing the scope model to evolve with the organization’s standards and experience. The result is faster, more accurate preconstruction scoping that reduces change orders and preserves decision history across projects.
Target Audience
Primary customers are preconstruction managers, general contractors, and design‑build firms that need to generate accurate, defensible scopes of work from large sets of construction documents.
