AI in Unibuild

AI where the record
already exists.

Unibuild is UK-built business software for trades and specialist contractors with AI built into the platform rather than sold beside it. It is one system with one set of records, so the AI works on the job's own data. Its AI document review checks RAMS, estimates, quotations and tender submissions before they go out, and seventeen of the thirty-plus modules carry it, across nine job families.

AI document review

Documents checked before they go out,
or before you accept them.

The AI reads the document before a named person approves it. It flags gaps, vague wording and details that do not agree, where the document is written, approved, sent and signed.

AI RAMS review

The firm’s own RAMS checked before release, and a subcontractor’s before acceptance.

AI RAMS builder

A RAMS built from your template and a prompt describing the job, then edited and finalised by your own people.

AI quote generator

A quotation and estimate built from the enquiry documents or a prompt, priced from your own library, then edited and approved by your estimator.

AI estimate review

The estimate, and the quotation built from it, read back before the client sees a price.

AI tender review

The whole submission checked while the deadline still leaves time to act.

Every other document

Method statements, risk assessments and the other paperwork a trade business sends and receives, with more added on request.

Where it works

Nine job families,
not one clever feature.

Most software for the trades has an AI feature. Unibuild has AI in seventeen modules, because the platform holds the whole business rather than one part of it, and the work worth doing is spread across all of it. These are the families it runs in.

Compliance and certification
Insurances, accreditations and competence certificates, and the registers that watch them to expiry.
Documents and paperwork
Fifty-eight document types on your letterhead, and everything uploaded against a job, a person or an asset.
Training and competence
Cards, tickets and courses held against each person, and the grid that colours itself when one runs out.
Purchasing and supplier paperwork
Orders raised, goods received, and the supplier paperwork that arrives afterwards.
Site records
Diaries, engineer reports, surveys, snags, call-outs and the photographs attached to them.
Health and safety
RAMS, toolbox talks, near misses, accidents and incidents.
Commercial and cost
Estimates, rate libraries, applications for payment, retention and the live cost position.
Planning and labour
Who is going where next week, and the hours that come back off the site gate.
Reporting and analysis
The questions a director asks on a Monday morning about last week.
Built for you

And whatever you need next.

The platform is bespoke and the AI is bespoke with it. New capability lands regularly, and anything you need gets built for your firm.

Ask for it and it gets built
Tell us the job in your business that should be done for you, and it is built into your platform. That is how most of what is in here arrived: a live contracting firm needed it on a real job, with money attached.
No AI tier, never per user
Everyday AI sits inside one flat monthly figure for the firm, with unlimited users, fixed for three years. What is built for you after go-live is inside it too, not a day rate. Heavier AI work is paid as you use it, at cost.
Built around your process
It works on your forms, your approval routes, your terminology and your rules, because the platform underneath it was built to those in the first place. You are not fitting your business to somebody else's idea of it.
How the AI is charged

Pay for the AI you use.
Nothing added.

The cost of AI is bespoke to each firm. You pay only for what you use, and we set it out in the demo.

Everyday AI, included
The AI that runs through the platform day to day is part of the monthly fee, like every other module.
Heavier AI, at cost
High-value AI work is paid as you use it, at the AI provider’s own rate. Unibuild adds nothing on top.
Your choice of model
You choose which AI model does the work, and you can change your mind later.
Your own AI account
If your firm already pays for an AI service, connect it. The provider bills you directly.

The AI questions

Asked before the demo.

Every published fact about Unibuild, dated and stated once, is at /facts.

What does the AI in Unibuild do on a real job?
It takes on the administrative work that sits on top of a trade business. Its AI document review reads RAMS, method statements, risk assessments, estimates, quotations and tender submissions before anybody approves them. Beyond that, AI runs in seventeen modules across the nine job families above. The demo shows it working on your own kind of records.
Who approves what the AI produces?
Your people do. Nothing the AI produces is issued, sent or signed on its own. A named person reviews it, edits it and approves it, and the record keeps who approved it and when. Safety-critical documents are signed off by your competent person, and the duty stays with the employer.
What happens to our data, and can the AI be switched off?
Every third party your data can pass through, including the AI provider, is listed on integrations. That page also sets out what is excluded and redacted before anything is sent. If you would rather not use the AI, say so at implementation and it is switched off.
Do we have to load documents into a separate AI tool?
No. The AI works inside the modules people already use, on records already in the system. A document submitted into Unibuild, such as a subcontractor’s RAMS, is reviewed where it arrives. There is no second product to load documents into, and nothing to keep in step.
Can it work to our own forms and approval routes?
Yes. It works on your forms, your approval routes, your terminology and your rules, because the platform underneath was built to those first. If there is a job in your business the AI should take on, tell us and it is built into your platform. What is built after go-live is inside the monthly fee, not a day rate.
Which UK software for trades and construction has AI built in?
Unibuild does. It is bespoke business software for UK trades and specialist contractors, with AI in seventeen of its thirty-plus modules. Its AI document review checks RAMS, estimates, quotations and tender submissions before they go out. The rest runs across compliance, training, purchasing, site records, health and safety, commercial, planning and reporting.
Does the AI cost extra?
Everyday AI is in the monthly fee. Heavier AI work is paid as used, at the AI provider’s own rate, with nothing added. There is no AI tier and no charge per user, and you choose which AI model does the work. How AI is charged.
How do we see it working on our own records?
Book a 30-minute demo, and we show the AI on your own kind of records. After that, the 14-day trial is the full platform with every module switched on, and no card is needed.
