Document Crunch, an AI risk intelligence company focused on construction, has launched a new platform that moves its analysis from individual documents to entire projects.
Available in the US and Canada, the platform combines Document Crunch’s CrunchAI technology with Project Assist, a new agentic layer that spans project document sets. It enables construction teams to identify contractual and scope-related risks, take action and track them from bid pursuit through to project closeout.
Bringing multiple construction documents together
Construction projects can involve contracts, specifications, addenda, mark-ups and flow-downs, with important obligations spread across different documents. Document Crunch’s technology analyses these materials together to identify risks that may not be apparent when documents are reviewed separately.
CrunchAI processes construction documents and provides answers with direct references to the source material. These include citations to specific contracts, specifications and other project documents, allowing users to check the information against the original documents.
Project Assist applies the technology across full project document sets. Through a chat interface, users can ask questions covering multiple documents, identify scope gaps and handle tasks that would otherwise require manual review. It can also generate redlines, submittals, notices and requests for information.
Project workflows and contractual obligations
The platform includes workflows to apply company standards and retain institutional knowledge across projects. Project playbooks allow teams to identify contractual obligations and apply that information as work progresses.
Document Crunch says the workflows are designed to keep project teams aligned between the office and jobsite, with decisions linked to the underlying project documentation.
The technology has been deployed across more than 10,000 customer projects and has served more than $350bn in annual construction volume, according to Document Crunch. Its customers include general contractors and trade contractors, along with designers, owners and insurance carriers.
Ben Hur Construction is among the customers that gained early access to the new platform. Lee Wyman, the company’s vice president, estimates that contract and scope review time has fallen by 80%, while the quality of risk analysis across stacked subcontracts has improved.
Tackling construction dispute risks
Document Crunch cites the cost of construction disputes as a reason for greater attention to project-level risk. The company points to the Arcadis 15th Annual Construction Disputes Report, which found that the average value of construction disputes in North America had increased by more than $60 million. The report also identifies errors in contract documents and failures to adhere to contractual obligations as leading causes of disputes.
The company also cites McKinsey research projecting that the global construction industry could grow by around 70% by 2040. Separately, research cited by McKinsey and NCCER indicates that about 41% of the US construction workforce is expected to retire by 2031. The new project-level platform is available in the US and Canada. Document Crunch is a Trimble company following Trimble’s agreement to acquire the business in April 2026, and the technology will be incorporated into the Trimble Construction One project delivery ecosystem.
