CAI Build makes every construction asset visible, intelligent, compliant and operationally optimized - across the full lifecycle, at portfolio scale. Built for contractors, infrastructure operators, housing associations and asset owners across the US, UK, Europe and APAC.
Construction remains one of the world's least digitized industries despite managing billions in critical assets, equipment, compliance obligations and operational risk. Teams still run on spreadsheets, paper records, siloed software and reactive decisions.
Equipment, tools, materials and critical infrastructure are frequently misplaced, underutilized or unavailable when needed.
Building Safety Act requirements, CDM regulations and inspection records keep growing while teams struggle to maintain accurate digital evidence.
Failures are discovered after breakdowns occur - causing delay, cost overrun, safety risk and project disruption.
Executives, site managers, compliance teams and asset managers each work from a different system - with no unified source of truth.
Teams spend significant time compiling reports, compliance documentation, inspections and site records by hand.
Most platforms report what happened yesterday. Few can tell a team what's about to happen tomorrow.
CAI is an AI-native construction operating system that provides a living intelligence layer across every project, asset, building and portfolio - designed from the ground up around artificial intelligence, compliance and predictive decision-making.
Artificial intelligence is embedded throughout the platform rather than bolted on as a separate feature.
Building Safety Act 2022, Golden Thread, CDM frameworks, inspections and documentation are integrated directly into operational workflows.
From a single site to a national portfolio, CAI delivers real-time visibility across assets, compliance, maintenance, risk and performance.
Every project contributes to a growing construction intelligence model - improving forecasts, recommendations and outcomes over time.
CAI is organised around four interconnected pillars that together form a continuous loop - from asset truth, to compliance evidence, to operational insight, to autonomous action.
Every asset - plant, equipment, building system, infrastructure component - unified into one living registry with condition, lifecycle, warranty and utilisation intelligence.
Building Safety Act, Golden Thread, CDM and inspections operationalised into a continuous evidence trail - audit-ready by default.
A real-time operational view across sites, contractors, deliveries and claims - turning daily activity into measurable performance.
Copilots, agents and workflow automation that move CAI from insight to action - with a human always in the loop.
CAI combines operational technology, AI, compliance and asset intelligence in one ecosystem - 26 purpose-built modules across five pillars, so nothing falls through the gap between your CDE, your CMMS and your spreadsheets.
The single source of truth for everything you own, build and maintain.
Enterprise-wide visibility across projects, assets, compliance and risk - one screen for leadership to act before the problem becomes a headline.

CAI is built to meet the security, privacy and governance expectations of enterprise construction organizations - from Tier 1 contractors to critical national infrastructure operators.
CAI gives construction teams - from independent contractors to national infrastructure programmes - one live, intelligent layer across every asset, every site, and every compliance obligation.
Construction is one of the largest industries on the planet - and one of the least digitised. Every day, billions of pounds of plant, equipment and materials move across thousands of sites with no single source of truth. Compliance records live in email threads. Maintenance happens after something breaks. Site managers spend nearly half their week on admin instead of running the work.
CAI exists to close that gap. We're building an AI-native operating system designed from the ground up around prediction, automation and audit-ready evidence - not a project management tool with an AI feature bolted on.
We started CAI with a simple observation: the UK's Building Safety Act 2022 didn't just raise the compliance bar - it exposed how little of the construction industry's asset and building data actually exists in usable, digital form. Most firms can't currently produce a true “golden thread” of evidence.
We're UK-built and UK-first, with regulatory depth - Building Safety Act, CDM 2015, Golden Thread - engineered into the product from day one. From there, we're built to scale into Europe, North America and APAC.
CAI is early - and that's deliberate. We're building alongside the contractors, asset managers and compliance leads who live this problem every day, so the platform reflects how construction actually works, not how software assumes it should.
We believe construction technology has spent too long serving head office and not enough time serving the people on the ground. CAI is built the other way round: field-first, offline-capable, and designed for someone wearing gloves on a wet Tuesday in February.
A single platform connecting physical assets, site operations, workforce, compliance and project intelligence in real time, across thousands of sites and millions of daily asset events.
No contractor discovers a compliance gap during an audit - because the evidence trail was built automatically, every day, from day one of the project.
No site manager loses a week chasing down which subcontractor has which piece of plant - because every asset already knows where it is.
No maintenance failure halts a critical path activity - because the platform predicted it weeks in advance.
No site report takes an hour to write - because it was generated from photos and voice notes the moment the work happened.
Every product decision is tested against site reality, not office theory. If it doesn't work in the rain, with low signal and gloved hands, it doesn't ship.
Predictions are explainable. Compliance outputs are always human-reviewed before they're signed off - AI drafts, people decide.
Regulatory adherence is built into the architecture, not added as an afterthought or a separate module.
The best construction software is the kind nobody needs training to use.
Founder-led, we move fast, listen directly to the people using the product, and ship based on what sites actually need next.
A continuously-learning intelligence layer - the platform gets sharper with every asset, site and audit it sees.
Denis founded CAI after seeing first-hand how much of the construction industry's operational and compliance burden was being absorbed by people, not systems - and how little of the AI wave reaching other industries had touched the construction site.
He combines 30 years of ConTech background with hands-on product and AI development, and is personally leading early customer development, product design and the first wave of enterprise sales conversations.
"I built CAI because I kept watching the same failure happen on different sites: an asset goes missing, a maintenance window gets missed, a compliance document gets written the week before an audit instead of the day the work happened. None of that has to be true anymore." - Denis Antony, Founder & CEO
