How Planaut Works

From construction documents to project controls in one workspace

Planaut starts with the documents contractors already receive and turns them into editable work product: scope, schedule drafts, estimates, budgets, and project admin workflows.

Typical first project
Minutes to value
  • Upload drawings, specs, spreadsheets, invoices, or project notes.
  • AI extracts scope and organizes the work for review.
  • Generate schedule and estimate drafts from the extracted scope.
  • Track budgets, changes, and project documentation as work evolves.

The workflow

Planaut is designed to keep the human expert in control while removing repetitive document review and setup work.

1

Upload construction documents

Start with a project document set, specs, addenda, photos, invoices, spreadsheets, or notes. Planaut reads the source material and prepares it for structured review.

2

Review extracted scope

Planaut identifies actionable scope items, source references, trade context, and project requirements. Contractors review and refine the output before using it downstream.

3

Generate schedules and estimates

Use the reviewed scope to create editable schedule and estimate drafts. Adjust durations, rates, sequencing, markups, assumptions, and exclusions before committing.

4

Commit the budget and manage the job

Move approved numbers into a project budget, then track RFIs, submittals, change orders, logs, inspections, punch lists, and closeout documentation against the active project.

Designed for review, not blind automation

Construction decisions still require professional judgment. Planaut produces editable drafts, flags work for review, and keeps source documents close to the output.

Source-backed outputs

Keep work product tied to the documents, notes, and assumptions that created it so teams can verify before acting.

Editable drafts

Schedules, estimates, budgets, and project records are starting points for expert review, not locked black-box outputs.

One project record

Keep documents, scope, costs, questions, changes, logs, and closeout items connected inside one project workspace.
