STATUS ISSUED FOR CONSTRUCTION
§ 01.00 · Automated Operating System
One operating system. Every seat in AEC.
Estimating, project management, accounting, field operations, owner reporting, boardroom, and compliance — on one record for general contractors, owners and developers, subcontractors, architecture firms, residential builders, and permit expediters. Same data, different door. Stop stitching software together.

§ 02.00 · One platform, six jobs
Everything that runs an AEC firm. Connected.
Whether you're building it, owning it, designing it, or self-performing a trade — AOS replaces the patchwork of estimating tools, PM software, accounting add-ons, field apps, compliance services, owner portals, and boardroom binders with one system whose modules actually know about each other.

§ 02.50 · Compare your stack
Already paying for Procore, Sage, Foundation, Yardi, MRI, or Viewpoint?
Here's the math. A typical $50M GC on Procore pays roughly $100k/yr at 0.2% of ACV — for PM, drawings, RFIs, submittals, and daily logs. AOS runs ~$24k/yr for that scope plus accounting, compliance, owner command center, boardroom, back office, and the portals. Owners pay Yardi or MRI for the same portfolio rollup AOS gives you in the boardroom module. Subs pay Foundation or Sage 100 Contractor for AR that AOS does as one tenant-type away. One platform, one bill — across every seat.

§ 03.00 · Why AOS
One record, end to end. Priced flat — not as a tax on construction volume or assets under management.
AEC software has been a patchwork problem for decades — PM in one platform, accounting in a second, payroll in a third, compliance in a fourth, every report a hand-rolled export, every counterparty a different portal login. AOS replaces that patchwork with one operating system on one record. Same row, six doors.

§ 04.00 · Pick your seat
Every tenant type. One record. Different door per seat.
A GC certifying a sub's G702, an owner approving the same pay app, and an architect responding to the RFI behind it are all looking at the same row in the same database — through the view tuned to their job. Pick the door that matches your firm; the rest of AOS is right next door.
GC
General Contractor
Pre-con through closeout: estimating, ITB, AIA pay apps, sub management, owner reporting, the field, and the compliance backbone — in one system whose modules know about each other.
Commercial GC overview →OW
Owner / Developer
Every project on one screen, live. Schedule, budget, pay apps pending review, vendor compliance, insurance status. Approve pay apps in two clicks. Distribute the board packet without ever assembling one.
Owners overview →SB
Subcontractor
Stop retyping the same pay app into five GC portals. Receive ITBs from any GC, submit AIA-grade G702 / G703 in your template, keep certs and insurance current, and run crews from one foreman dashboard.
Subcontractor overview →A/E
Architect / Engineer
Construction administration without the inbox. Current drawings register, RFI and submittal turn-time tracking with SLA, design-issue tracking with photo evidence, and AIA G702 certification on a screen — not a folder of PDFs.
A/E overview →RB
Residential Builder
Selections, draws, and warranty on one record. Selections tied to budget, a homeowner portal that doesn't make them call you, construction draws that survive the lender, and punch lists that don't fall off after closing.
Residential overview →PE
Permit Expediter
AHJ portals that talk to your office. Accela / Tyler / OpenGov integrations, inspection scheduling that doesn't double-book, ACH fee payment via Lithic, and a client portal at permits.aos.build so owners stop calling for status.

Predictive intelligence · GCs + Owners
Find the overrun before your CFO does.
AOS continuously forecasts cost-at-completion for every job, flags change orders aging past your counterparty's SLA, and surfaces schedule slips before the lookahead meeting. GCs see it on their projects; Owners see it on their portfolio; Subs see it on their contracts; A/E sees the design-issue trail behind every variance. Same row, every seat.
- Forecast-at-completion overrun with a confidence band, refreshed nightly per project.
- Per-counterparty change order SLA learned from your own approval history — your client's, or the GCs' you bill.
- Schedule slip alerts with daily delta vs. baseline and weather context.
- AI quote-PDF parser ingests broker insurance quotes and ranks them by premium, limits, and deductible.
- Critical-only SMS so the right people get pinged without alarm fatigue.

Field, not just office · GCs + Subs
The foreman dashboard your foreman actually uses.
Built from interviews with foremen on real jobs, not focus groups. Whether you self-perform as a GC or run a specialty trade, equipment is pinned to the site they're standing on. Crew-of-the-day assigned with a worker typeahead that finds anyone by first three letters. Voice logs captured hands-free. Punch panel prioritized by overdue, then due date, then item number. The same crew calendar a GC uses to staff a tower is the one a roofing sub uses to staff Monday's tear-off.
- Crew of the day with worker typeahead — fast lookup, smart ranking, zero scrolling.
- Equipment pinned at the site, with the foreman's pin winning over old data and duplicates merging cleanly.
- Voice logs with five categories (safety / quality / progress / incident / general).
- NOAA weather and EXIF geotags pulled in automatically — no manual entry.
- Ship-out gate: every off-site material move stages a GL draft for accounting review.

Plays nicely
Connected to the tools you already pay for.
BN
Blue Notary (RON)
Remote online notarization for lien waivers. The waiver lifecycle refuses to advance until the notarization job is complete.
GSA
GSA Per Diem
Federal high-low + OCONUS rate ingest. Disbursements auto-split federal-vs-excess and post correct tax/WC flags downstream.
SES
AWS SES & Twilio
Email and SMS deliverability built in. We handle the carrier compliance for you — you don't run carrier accounts.
API
Open API & webhooks
Scoped API keys and event webhooks for projects, pay apps, change orders, RFIs, and AP events. Wire AOS into whatever your team already runs.
Beyond the build
The work your competitors haven't shipped yet.
A platform you keep using because it does the boring work nobody else automates — and a few things nobody else even tries.
Lien rights
51-jurisdiction lien registry
Statutory forms, advance-waiver rules, and notarization requirements for all 50 states + DC — kept current. Deadline calculators run from the jurisdiction window the moment a job opens.
Pay-history
Alumni portal
Ex-employees pull their own W-2s, pay stubs, and certified payroll via a secure one-click link for the full 7-year retention window. Your payroll inbox goes quiet.
Salvage
Salvage marketplace
Auction surplus materials by sealed bid, route donations to nonprofits, and roll the LEED contribution up to project sustainability scorecards. The dumpster gets smaller.
Tax planning
Quarterly tax estimates
Safe-harbor and annualized installment side-by-side, with federal and 15 state-overridden due dates. Picks the lower of the two for each entity, every quarter.
Insurance
Auto-renewal workflow
Windowed renewal scheduler pings brokers 90/60/30/14 days out, AI-parses the quote PDFs, and ranks them by premium, limits, and deductible. Renewals become a one-meeting decision.
ITAM
IT asset checkout
Onboarding automatically opens an asset checkout request for laptops, phones, badges, and gas cards. The asset shows up on the helpdesk ticket. HR sees what's still in their name.
