Our mission is to transform information into action.
AI Metric’s OCR and Structuring service reads, classifies, and converts complex project documents into structured data.
This goes beyond scanning and indexing — our models are trained on construction-specific language, including JCT and NEC forms, technical reports, and contractual correspondence.
We focus on the documents that hold commercial weight:
Invoices and Remittance Statements – line-level capture for precise payment verification
Site Diaries and Daily Records – structured for sequencing and resource analysis
Meeting Minutes and Site Instructions – automatically cross-linked to evidence
Technical Reports and Correspondence – formatted for expert review and arbitration
The outcome is a defensible dataset that supports delay and quantum analysis, expert reporting, and project governance.
AI Advantage — Built for Construction Intelligence
Where other OCR systems stop at text recognition, AI Metric continues to reasoning.
Every construction project generates massive volumes of information: invoices, drawings, diaries, instructions, and correspondence.
Much of it is trapped in static formats or inconsistent filing systems.
When disputes arise, commercial teams spend weeks chasing missing information, manually reviewing documents, and reconciling versions — time that could be spent resolving the issue itself.
In arbitration, delay analysis, or forensic review, this lack of structure directly translates into delay, cost, and risk.
Recognises standard contractual forms (JCT, NEC, FIDIC)
Detects and flags discrepancies between instructions and cost records
Maps cause and effect between events, documents, and payments
Builds dynamic timelines that link site events to contractual obligations
All data is stored in a vectorised environment, enabling natural language search and cross-document reasoning — so you can ask complex questions like:
“Show every instruction linked to variations issued between June and September that affected the Level 4 concrete works.”
This is not just faster — it’s evidentially stronger.
Drawings and Technical Documentation
Our OCR platform also structures and tracks design data.
Using AI extraction, it:
Captures drawing title block data, revision histories, and issue logs
Converts scanned legacy drawings into fully searchable records
Links drawing changes to site diaries, reports, and instructions
This gives you traceability from design change to commercial impact — a clear, defensible narrative for expert evidence, compliance under the Building Safety Act, or internal risk reviews.
Manual document review for a major dispute can take 2,500+ hours, consuming tens of thousands in consultant time.
With AI Metric, that workload drops by more than 90 percent, freeing specialists to focus on interpretation and strategy.
Clients typically achieve:
Days of processing instead of months
Verified data sets for quantum and delay analysis
Substantial reduction in external expert costs
Faster, evidence-backed resolution of claims
Whether used on live projects or for one-off disputes, our service consistently improves visibility, confidence, and commercial certainty.
Who We Work With
