AI Agents for General Contractors That Handle the Busywork
They chase subs, level bids, and onboard vendors. Your team reviews and approves.
Manual work caps your margin, capacity, and revenue.
Bid management, leveling, prequalification, submittals, RFIs, calls — all still run by hand.
Margin
Every ITB chased and bid leveled by hand adds overhead that grows as you win more.
Capacity
Your team can only track so many submittals, RFIs and COIs by hand before you’re hiring.
Lost revenue
A call to voicemail or a bid that misses the deadline is work you never bill.
One agent, one job, start to finish — your team just approves.

Frequently asked questions
What is Palcode?
Palcode builds AI Workers that automate preconstruction workflows for general contractors — starting with bid management. From subcontractor ITBs to bid leveling to vendor onboarding, your AI Workers handle the coordination so your estimators handle the estimating.
Does Palcode replace Procore?
No. Palcode runs on top of Procore and writes back to it — nothing to re-key. You keep Procore as your system of record.
What construction tools does Palcode integrate with?
Palcode integrates with Procore, Autodesk Construction Cloud, Google Drive, and Egnyte. It syncs project data, documents, and vendor information without replacing your existing stack.
Do you train AI models on our data?
No. Your project data trains nothing. It’s used only to do your work, inside your account.
Does anything go out without our approval?
No. Every Worker stops for human review. Nothing goes anywhere external until your team approves it.
How do we get started?
You start with one Worker on one workflow — the job eating the most time — running on your live projects. Book a demo and we’ll show you.
