The Problem

Where your margin
goes to die

Mid-size GCs run on email, Excel, and phone calls. The $10T construction industry still has almost zero software intelligence where it matters — in the field, on the drawings, on the deadline.

01
Change Order Chaos
COs live in email threads. Scope creep is invisible until it's a legal dispute. No pricing intelligence, no audit trail, no accountability chain. 3–10% of every contract value bleeds out untracked.
⚠ 3–10% contract value disputed per project
02
RFI Black Holes
Each RFI that triggers rework spawns 2–4 follow-up RFIs. Teams work on incorrect assumptions because nobody tracks who has the ball. Field crews build the wrong thing — twice.
⚠ $1,080 processing cost per RFI
03
Manual Bid Estimation
A 20,000 sq ft TI project needs 12–20 hours of senior estimator time. At $95/hr, that's $1,900 in labor per bid — before a single sub has quoted. Miscounts compound into margin-killing losses before the first shovel hits.
⚠ $90K+/yr estimating labor at 40 bids/yr
04
Compliance Blind Spots
OSHA now mandates digital injury logs on 20+ worker sites. Permit requirements vary by municipality. Safety docs live in spreadsheets, email, and filing cabinets — not auditable, not searchable, not defensible.
⚠ 8–15% GL insurance premium overpayment

Return on Investment

The numbers a GC owner
actually cares about

ACIAX doesn't sell software. It sells recovered margin. Here's what a typical mid-size GC on the Professional plan recovers in Year 1.

📐
Estimating labor recovered
$45K–$90K
At 40 bids/year with AI takeoff replacing 12–20hr manual count per bid. Senior estimator shifts from counting to closing.
📋
PM time freed from admin
$180K–$450K
22–28% of project coordination labor wasted on document admin. ACIAX redirects that to actual construction management.

Insurance premium savings
$10K–$38K
8–15% reduction in GL premiums for contractors with comprehensive digital documentation. Documented, reportable, insurer-ready.

the problem firsthand

Shiv Bhushan
// Founder & CEO · ACIAX
"98% of projects run over budget not because GCs are bad — but because no software has ever been built specifically to protect their margin."
Shiv Bhushan is the founder and CEO of ACIAX. He comes from a deep background in construction operations and AI systems, having watched mid-size general contractors bleed margin project after project — not from bad work, but from broken information flow.

The insight was simple and devastating: the $10T construction industry still runs on email threads, Excel spreadsheets, and phone calls for its most critical financial decisions. Change orders. RFIs. Bids. Compliance. None of it is intelligent. ACIAX exists to fix that — built ground-up for the GC who runs 5–40 projects at once and doesn't have time for enterprise software designed for 1000-person firms.
