Project lifecycle

Four phases. Each with its own stack of paperwork.

Click a phase to see what emi prepares, which documents it draws from, and who benefits.

Phase 01 · Invitation to tender

Decide fast whether to bid — and miss nothing

The tender package runs to several hundred pages and submission is in three weeks. emi extracts the essentials so your estimator can focus on pricing.

Sample prompt

“List all liquidated damages, required bonds and key deadlines across this tender package.”

For whom

Engineering office, estimator, management

What emi prepares

Requirements checklistDeadlines, bonds, penalties and required attachments, each with its page reference.
RFIs for the project ownerAmbiguous or conflicting points phrased cleanly for the Q&A period.
Tender scheduleMandatory site visit, written questions, bid submission deadline.
Cover letterA first draft tailored from your company templates.

Fictional project, documents and contractors.

From the job site

Daily logs written between two deliveries

The site superintendent taps a few quick notes into a phone. emi turns them into a structured log: weather, crew headcount, work completed, deliveries and incidents. By evening, the daily report is ready for review.

Daily log

“Format these notes as today’s site report: 6 workers, Level 2 slab pour, rebar delivery 1 hour late.”

Specifications

“What roof insulation thickness is specified in the technical specs?”

Safety

“Translate the crane-zone access rules into Portuguese and Albanian.”

Comparing subcontractors

Three quotes, three formats. One comparison table.

Upload incoming trade quotes: emi aligns them on a single matrix and flags scope exclusions that prevent an apples-to-apples comparison. Selecting the subcontractor remains yours.

Northern Roofs excludes scaffolding (p. 2, terms). To compare on equal footing, add that cost item or request a revised quote. Their validity window also expires first.

Standards & specifications

The exact clause, with the page number.

Technical specifications, special conditions, structural drawings and licensed building standards: file them by project in the Knowledge Base. emi locates the exact requirement and cites where it appears.

One folder per project, one subfolder per trade package
Every answer cites the exact document and page
“Deep Thinking” mode for multi-hundred-page tender binders

Published technical standards are subject to copyright: only upload documents your license permits you to store and use internally.

Which concrete grade is specified for the basement slabs?

The Structural Works specification prescribes C30/37 concrete for basement slabs (Section 3.5). Structural drawing S-102, Revision C, specifies the same grade.

emi cites your documents. Engineering verification remains yours.

Confidentiality

Your bid pricing and client blueprints never leave the project

A leaked unit rate can cost you a tender. A leaked client blueprint damages trust. emi is architected to keep every project sealed inside its own workspace.

Secure Swiss hosting

Bids, drawings and conversations stay on dedicated ISO 27001 infrastructure.

Zero model training

Your pricing sheets and engineering drawings never train any AI model.

Project-level permissions

Estimators see pricing; site crews see specs. Granular Manage, Contribute, Read or None rights.

Invisible to AI on demand

NDA-restricted client drawing? Store it in the folder while keeping AI read access turned off.

Always verify client NDA terms before uploading third-party project files. Our data-processor commitments are detailed on our Data Protection page.

Out of scope

emi prepares the binder. It never stamps the drawings.

A drafting and document-search assistant, not a licensed engineer. Everything carrying professional liability stays firmly with qualified specialists.

Never replaces a licensed professional
Area
What stays human
Sizing
Engineering calculationsStructural loads, sizing, thermal modeling: emi performs no engineering calculations and certifies no results.
Codes
Code compliance sign-offemi locates a specification clause; a qualified engineer verifies applicability and compliance.
Safety
Health & safety approvalSite safety instructions drafted or translated by emi are reviewed and signed off by your H&S manager before circulation.
Tenders
Contract award & pricingemi lines up trade quotes side by side; it never selects subcontractors or sets your bid prices.
