Lake City Labs
Your Fractional AI + Innovation Department

The AI team your construction firm never had to hire.

We map your data, build your AI workflows, and stay on as your embedded partner — so your team gains an expert, not a vendor.

Built for teams drowning in construction admin.

You have the data. You have the tools. You don't have the bandwidth to connect them — or an internal AI team to do it.

Specialty Subcontractors

High documentation volume. Small admin team.

Heavy submittals, RFI, and change-orders volume eating your office hours? We cut the admin burden without adding headcount and help you focus on winning more work.

Owner · Ops Lead · Estimating Manager
Contractors

Too many systems. Too much manual work.

Multiple tools, dozens of spreadsheets, a PM team spending half their day hunting for answers? We connect your stack and automate the grind.

Director of Operations · ConTech Lead · Precon
Design & A/E Teams

Construction admin eating your design time.

RFI and submittal burden, document sprawl, and no clear path to AI. We handle the construction-administration workflows so your team spends time on design.

Not a vendor.
Your embedded AI team.

We don't hand off a tool and disappear. We embed, learn your workflows, and stay on as the AI expertise you don't need to hire full-time.

01

Map your data

We connect Procore, Autodesk, SharePoint, Outlook, Gmail, and your spreadsheets into a single queryable layer — with your existing permissions intact and your existing tools untouched.

02

Build your workflows

Custom AI automations for the work your team repeats every week: RFI tracking, submittal digests, change order drafting, buyout prep, meeting summaries.

03

Stay on as your partner

We manage, monitor, and expand your AI capabilities over time. New workflows, new connectors, new team members onboarded. An expert team without the full-time hire.

That’s 1.8 full-time people worth of project support — without the headcount or the vendor.
Numbers are directional. Most partners see results in the first 6–8 weeks.

Plain talk about what we are —
and what we're not.

Another platform to migrate everything into.

A layer on top of the tools you already use. Procore, Autodesk, SharePoint — keep all of it.

A black-box AI that makes things up.

Every answer cites the source document. You can open it and check.

A one-time build that you're left to manage.

An ongoing partner. We stay on, keep it running, and expand it as you grow.

A year-long roadmap and a transformation deck.

One pilot, a defined scope, a measurable result in 6–8 weeks.

Built for IT review.

Security, compliance, and control are non-negotiable. Here's how we deliver.
