Build custom AI agents and apps tuned to how your organization works — from bid to build." canonical: https://www.pelles.ai/pelles-build last_updated: 2026-10-25 --- Made for the trades # Pelles Build Embrace change. Build with Pelles. Become a super-sub. Stop adapting to generic SaaS. Stop waiting on dev teams. Pelles Build encodes **YOUR** workflows, standards, and domain knowledge into dedicated AI apps & agents — yours to own and evolve. [Book a demo](https://www.pelles.ai/contact) See how it works Off-the-shelf SaaS - You adapt YOUR process to the tool - Generic features, constant workarounds - Competitors run the same software - Doesn't know YOUR standards - **YOUR** workflows, encoded in AI - Your team builds it, no developers needed - Live in days, not months - Apps that know **YOUR** way of working Custom dev team - 6–9 month timelines - $200K–500K+ to build and maintain - Tech debt that compounds - They leave, you're stuck Scroll to explore The Shift ## For the first time, software can be built for YOU and around YOUR business. For 30 years, construction software was built for someone else. You got feature lists designed for GCs, owners, or generic project managers — and you bent your process to fit. That’s over. AI trained on your standards, your specs, and your way of running a submittal Your domain. Not theirs. A dedicated app you specced — built for your workflow, not someone else's Your workflow. Productized. An agent watches your project system — the moment an RFI is submitted, it pulls the relevant spec sections and posts a draft response automatically Your agents. Always on. Your domain. Not theirs. AI trained on your standards, your specs, and your way of running a submittal Your workflow. Productized. A dedicated app you specced — built for your workflow, not someone else's Your agents. Always on. An agent watches your project system — the moment an RFI is submitted, it pulls the relevant spec sections and posts a draft response automatically 0% of contractors believe AI will transform their industry. Only 19% have adapted their workflows. That gap is the advantage. [Dodge Construction Network, AI for Contractors (2024)](https://www.construction.com/resource/ai-for-contractors/) You’ve always had the right process. Now you can finally scale it. The Pelles Build System ## Build the software that can do the Work The future belongs to the organizations who convert their core operations into agentic workflows and custom proprietary systems built on top of them 01 ### Custom Apps Workflow tools designed for how YOUR team works - Your process, your interface, your rules - Built from battle-tested construction components - Live in days — iterate the same way 02 ### Custom Agents AI workers that monitor, analyze, and act — 24/7 - Watches your project data around the clock - Acts on YOUR thresholds and standards - Escalates to the right person when needed AppFab ## Build Apps Around YOUR specific workflows You describe it. Your team builds it. Describe a workflow problem in plain language, and your team builds a dedicated app around it — agents, validation, interface, and all. No developers. Live in days, not months. Describe Collaborate Build Deploy & Iterate 01 Describe Tell Pelles what you need in plain language. “I need an app that tracks compliance docs for every sub on every project.” No spec, no ticket, no technical knowledge required. A clear problem statement 02 Collaborate An AI product manager refines the requirements with you — who uses it, what statuses matter, what the dashboard should highlight. You stay in the driver’s seat. Requirements locked in 03 Build Your team builds a working app from battle-tested construction components while Pelles AI does the assembly. Agentic workflows, validation gates, and a real interface — built by your org, for your org. A production-ready app 04 Deploy & Iterate Your team is running it the next day. When your process evolves, describe the change and update it yourself the same way. No waiting on a dev backlog. Live tomorrow Your apps handle the workflows. Now give them intelligence. Agent Hall ## Build agents that know your business Configure and deploy always-on AI agents tuned to your construction workflows — no code required. Every agent is assembled from three independent layers you control. 01 Skills What your agent can do - Read specs, drawings, addenda, and RFIs - Connect to Procore, Autodesk, Trimble, SharePoint - Cross-reference across your full document set 02 Behavior How your agent thinks - Alert only when confidence meets your threshold - Escalate to a PM when a spec conflict is found - Autonomy level you define — act alone or ask first 03 Channels Where your agent lives - Event-triggered: new file upload, RFI submitted - Proactive: posts to Teams without being asked - Scheduled: daily reports, weekly compliance sweeps Agent configured Apps & Agents ## Built for the way you work Custom apps and autonomous agents — designed around your standards, your workflows, your trade.
