The transformation in 3 pillars

The challenge

Scarce estimating talent is losing time to manual work

Experienced estimators and facade specialists are scarce, in high demand, and incredibly difficult to find in today's job market. That is precisely why their time and expertise are so valuable. In practice, however, a large portion of their capacity is wasted on manually reading through extensive specifications and analyzing complex construction drawings and IFC models.

This repetitive work prevents these top specialists from doing what they do best: evaluating projects, advising clients, and submitting more and better quotes to secure the most profitable projects.

Flawless Workflow helps facade builders and subcontractors process requests and construction drawings automatically with BuildIntake. This ensures the estimating team's valuable capacity is used optimally, creates more peace of mind and job satisfaction, and allows the organization to identify the best opportunities faster.

The core of the transformation
"By automating repetitive search and analysis tasks in requests and drawings with BuildIntake, you immediately create room for quality, faster quotes, greater job satisfaction, and winning the most profitable projects with the same team."

Automation phase

BuildIntake: From manual sorting to automated processing

With BuildIntake Alkondor has an advanced request-to-order platform that combines automation and insights. Within the platform, specialized AI agents act as digital colleagues that take over complete workflow steps, allowing specifications and drawings to be processed automatically:

‍

• Specification Agent: Processes hundreds of pages of specifications in minutes. Critical requirements, risks, and contract terms are automatically structured and prepared.
• Drawing Agent: Automatically reads 2D drawings and 3D/IFC models, processing them at lightning speed into usable quantities, measurements, and window schedules without manual counting.
• Content Control & Speed: Estimators no longer need to collect information manually; they can dive straight into the content, allowing the department to handle more inquiries and filter out the best projects.

Phase insights

Maximum control through insights & KPIs: Know, predict, and decide

BuildIntake doesn't stop at automating specifications and drawings. As a powerful extension within the BuildIntake Data & AI Platform the platform connects all source systems within the organization (such as Trimergo ERP, CRM, and WMS) in one central environment.

By linking these data streams, Alkondor gains in-depth, real-time management information and KPIs to learn from every inquiry, monitor margins, and predict production:

‍

• Quality & Performance Checks: Continuous insight into Work in Progress (WIP), phase progress, and scheduling deviations to monitor operational quality and capacity at every level.
• Financial Control & Margins: Real-time liquidity and profit forecasts that compare quote assumptions with realized margins, allowing Alkondor to immediately see which projects and clients are truly converting and profitable.
• Process & System Control: Automatic monitoring of data flows between connected systems (such as WMS ↔ Trimergo) to proactively identify data discrepancies and logistical bottlenecks (such as rack status).
