Cogram builds AI tooling for architecture and engineering firms, covering the project administration that surrounds design work: RFIs and submittals, meeting minutes, email filing and field reports.
Its premise is that the software these firms depend on predates the current generation entirely, and the choice of targets backs that up. RFIs and submittals are not glamorous, but they are contractually significant, endlessly repetitive, and the source of most disputes on a project – a submittal logged late or an RFI answered inconsistently has consequences measured in weeks and money. Automating the paperwork trail is a better first target than automating design.
The consistency argument matters in a distributed practice, where the same process should produce the same result across offices. Two evaluation points for a regulated profession: project records carry contractual weight, so check retention, export and audit provisions – and an automated field report is still a professional record with a name attached to it.
