Modern Maine Builders: How AI is Making Us Better Builders
At Nautilus Construction, we still value a handshake and honest craftsmanship. But behind the scenes, we’re using AI to work smarter. We aren’t using robots to swing hammers; we’re using technology to handle the paperwork and planning that usually slows projects down.
According to Nautilus Construction owner, Chris Legare, “AI is helping Nautilus be more efficient, improve communication with clients, and organize business in a very streamlined way.”
This winter we went to the International Builders show in Orlando, FL. It was here we learned all the cutting edge technology that can improve and enhance your experience as the client. One program we learned was called Handoff. It is an AI estimating software which has proven to be a beneficial tool for our company. This AI tool not only helps create faster and more accurate estimates; it also helps us connect to local suppliers so we can get accurate pricing for projects from the get go. Handoff AI Estimating also helps us strengthen relationships with clients when they receive faster, more accurate estimates and helps us better handle quick handoffs of estimates when the demand is high. Our design build construction company values our clients and their time; we use technology to connect vision with execution and clients never have to choose between timeless quality and a smooth, modern experience.
Most contractors run their business out of their truck, but we’ve used AI to build a professional foundation. This means clear subcontractor agreements and standard operating procedures for everything from safety to final punch lists. We still make the calls, but AI helps us stay organized and reliable in a fraction of the time.
Ultimately, an organized builder is a builder who shows up on time and communicates clearly. If you’re ready for a stress-free build in southern Maine, we’d love to talk.
