The Challenge

Before XWire AI, the project team faced significant obstacles

Manual Estimation

Creating materials lists from 23-sheet plan sets took 40+ hours and resulted in 15-20% variance from actual costs.

Schedule Complexity

ICF + steel construction requires precise sequencing. Manual scheduling led to 2-3 week delays in previous projects.

Draw Management

10-draw schedule with $2.65M loan required extensive documentation and coordination with lender inspections.

The Solution

XWire AI provided an integrated platform that addressed every challenge

AI Materials Estimation

Automatically extracted 500+ line items from architectural plans with 97% accuracy

CPM Scheduling

Generated critical path schedule identifying 12 float-critical tasks

Draw Management

Streamlined 10-draw schedule tracking with lender-ready documentation

Team Collaboration

Connected 15 team members across GC, subs, and owner
