Pelles AI
Pelles AI is a preconstruction and field intelligence platform for trade contractors that reads drawings, specs, and contracts to surface scope gaps, compare revisions, and speed up bids without replacing your estimating system wholesale.
Pelles AI targets mechanical, civil, and specialty subcontractors that live in plan sets, addenda, and specifications. The vendor states that more than two thousand projects have run on the platform and that teams can save more than ten hours per bid review on typical workflows, with tens of thousands of early-detected issues logged in aggregate marketing claims (Pelles AI, as of 2026). Those figures are directional and should be validated on your own pilots.
Core modules include DoubleCheck for pulling structured answers from unstructured documents, a Compare engine for revision tracking, workflow automation for repeatable tasks, and organization-scoped agents that learn company standards. Pelles Workshop offers custom apps and agents for firms that want tailored automation.
Integrations listed on the site include Procore, Autodesk, Oracle P6, Trimble (noted as coming for some links), and common file stores such as SharePoint, Google Drive, Dropbox, and OneDrive. That pattern fits teams that already store job files in cloud drives or construction suites.
Pricing is not published as a simple per-seat grid; teams book calls and enterprise agreements. Confirm data residency, model training policies, and integration scope in writing before rollout.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Purpose-built positioning for subcontractors rather than generic horizontal chat
- Explicit compare and DoubleCheck workflows for heavy documentation jobs
- Road-mapped integrations with common AEC platforms and storage
- Public technical write-ups explain ingestion and retrieval architecture at a high level
Cons
- No transparent public price list
- Value depends on document quality and disciplined file hygiene
- Some integrations remain phased; confirm availability for your contract year

Frequently asked questions
What does Pelles AI do for estimators?
It helps estimators and preconstruction staff query drawings, specs, and contracts, compare revisions, and automate repeat review steps. The goal is fewer missed scope lines and faster turnaround on complex bid packages. Pilot on a real job to measure hours saved.
Is Pelles AI only for mechanical contractors?
Marketing highlights mechanical and civil trades, but the feature set applies to any subcontractor drowning in plan sheets and specifications. Ask the vendor for references in your trade and region.
Does Pelles AI replace my estimating software?
It focuses on document intelligence and workflow around bids rather than full quantity takeoff math. Most teams still pair it with their estimating or accounting stack. Map integrations before you assume end-to-end coverage.
How does Pelles AI handle my data?
The site states enterprise-grade encryption and that customer data is not shared with other tenants or used to train shared models; verify the exact clauses in your order form and DPA.
Which integrations does Pelles AI support?
The homepage lists Procore, Autodesk-related paths, Oracle P6, and common storage tools, with some items marked as coming soon. Request a current matrix from sales because roadmaps change.
How much does Pelles AI cost?
There is no public per-user price. Pricing is negotiated after discovery calls and pilots. Ask for onboarding fees, minimum commits, and integration engineering costs in the proposal.
