About Client

A leading construction technology platform enables General Contractors, Subcontractors, and Suppliers to streamline preconstruction workflows through digital collaboration and bid management. As platform usage scaled, inefficiencies in AI subcontractor onboarding, unstructured data uploads, and inconsistent trade classification automation created significant operational bottlenecks, increased manual effort, and slowed data processing across critical workflows, ultimately impacting overall operational efficiency and scalability.

About this project

The platform faced significant inefficiencies in subcontractor onboarding due to unstructured Excel and CSV data uploads from General Contractors. Manual processing was required to clean, validate, and standardize records, resulting in delays, duplicate entries, and inconsistent trade classification. As data volume increased, these issues created scalability constraints and reduced overall data quality, impacting downstream analytics and operational efficiency.

Solutions Implemented

Built an AWS-native AI-powered data processing system enabling automated ingestion, normalization, validation, and intelligent trade classification for subcontractor onboarding automation, ensuring scalable processing, improved data quality, and faster, more accurate onboarding of unstructured construction data at enterprise scale.
