Document Crunch, a Trimble company, and provider of the AI risk intelligence platform built for construction, has launched its next generation platform that transforms single-document review to full project-level risk intelligence. Document Crunch helps teams manage risk through earlier detection and automated workflows. This protects project margins and reduces costly disputes, which can average more than $60 million per dispute in North America.
The new platform operates as a risk intelligence system with three connected layers that together identify risk, act on it and ensure visibility as work moves through a project life cycle:
- CrunchAI surfaces risk. Built on deep expertise of construction documents and how they interrelate within project document sets, CrunchAI technology uses a proprietary method to process construction documents. CrunchAI then delivers dependable, verifiable information, including direct citations to source documents such as contracts, specs, markups, flow-downs and addenda.
- Project Assist acts on risk. Document Crunch’s new agentic layer applies CrunchAI across full project document sets. It analyzes documents holistically, not individually, to surface the risk that is only visible when reviewing documents together. Through an intuitive chat interface, teams can ask complex questions across source documents, complete time-consuming tasks, identify scope gaps, and automatically generate deliverables such as redlines, submittals, notices, and RFIs to move work forward and keep projects compliant.
- The Platform aligns teams around risk. Built-in workflows ensure teams adhere to company standards and transfer institutional knowledge to scale expertise, while project playbooks allow teams to quickly identify contractual obligations, so that decisions stay consistent and teams stay aligned from the office to the job site.
Proven at Scale
To date, Document Crunch has been deployed across more than 10,000 customer projects and has served more than $350 billion in annual construction volume for general contractors and trade contractors, along with a growing base of designers, owners and insurance carriers. Customers with early access to the new platform report significant time savings and improved quality of work.
Lee Wyman, vice president at Ben Hur Construction Co., estimates that contract and scope review time has reduced by 80 percent, the overall quality of risk analysis across stacked subcontracts has improved and teams get verified answers across full project document sets.
Why Now?
The construction industry is growing, but so is the frequency of disputes and the average dispute value, making adoption of project-level risk intelligence imperative. According to the Arcadis 15th Annual Construction Disputes Report (2025), the average construction dispute value in North America is more than $60 million, and the top two causes of disputes are errors in contract documents and failure to understand or comply with contractual obligations.
Simultaneously, construction demand is projected to grow roughly 70 percent by 2040 (McKinsey & Company), yet 41 percent of the current construction workforce is approaching retirement (NCCER). In an industry already losing dollars to risk, tools and systems that help leaner teams work more efficiently are becoming a critical part of how contractors operate. Unlike general-purpose AI tools that are not purpose-built for the construction industry, the proprietary preprocessing technology from Document Crunch breaks down construction documents with higher accuracy and fewer missed insights, the way high-stakes construction decisions require. Every response is sourced directly to specific clauses and contextual references, giving teams the ability to verify answers instantly with confidence.
