Research an RFI
“Which earlier RFI addressed this conflict?”
Find related questions, responses, and project decisions before preparing a new request. Your engineer decides whether the earlier answer applies to the current situation.
Your firm’s memory across every project.
Corpusmith builds private AI workspaces for civil engineering consulting firms. We organize the documents your firm already has so your team can ask questions and find relevant project information in one place.
The system works from your firm’s material. It is not a shared collection of other companies’ records, and it does not replace your engineers’ judgment.
Start with the project record.
Useful information is often spread across specification books, requests for information (RFIs), submittals, reports, standard operating procedures (SOPs), and as-built records.
Corpusmith organizes readable content into smaller sections that can be searched together. Those sections retain their file and project context, so information stays connected to the work it describes.
Your existing documents remain the original record. Files that still need processing are distinguished from sources that are ready to use.
One use case, from setup to use.
- 01
Choose a use case
Start with one project and a task, such as researching RFIs or checking a submittal against its specification. Agree on what a useful result should include.
- 02
Prepare the documents
Select the relevant files and organize them for your firm’s workspace. We identify what can be read and what needs preparation before it can be searched.
- 03
Build the knowledge base
Corpusmith breaks readable documents into searchable sections while keeping their project and file context. Processing status shows when a source is ready.
- 04
Ask and evaluate
Your team tries real project questions and checks the results against the original records. This helps establish where the system is useful and where more information is needed.
- 05
Expand gradually
Once the first use case proves useful, add more documents, projects, or teams. Keep evaluating the results as the collection grows. Workflows are coming soon.
Find the detail in your own files.
Review specs and submittals
“What does this specification require?”
Locate the relevant requirement and compare it with the submitted material. The goal is to make the relevant requirement easier to find, while leaving approval with your team.
Find a procedure
“What checks are required before this work begins?”
Search documented office and field procedures so staff can find the established process, including people who are new to the project.
Illustrative example. These are example use cases, not customer results. Direct links from answers to source files and sections are planned.
Your documents. Your decisions.
Each firm’s document collection is kept separate from other customers. Your data is not used to train shared models.
Your team checks the information against the project record before relying on it. Corpusmith does not approve engineering work or send and file responses on its own.
Draft generation and on-premises hosting are planned. Engineer review, workflows, scanned-page OCR, and a full section-level source trail are not built. A newest-revision check is in testing. We’ll discuss current capabilities and your firm’s requirements before defining a rollout.
Let’s look at your first use case.
Bring one project, a few representative documents, and the questions your team needs answered. We’ll help define a practical starting point.
