The industry waited weeks for estimates. AI makes it happen in hours. In my last post, I spoke about how creating a BOQ can take days or even weeks - because estimation is still a manual, coordination-heavy process. So we asked a simple question: What if drawings could directly become estimates? That question led us to build the Estimation AI Agent at Powerplay. Here’s what it does simply (as shown in the video here): Upload drawings → The system reads them → Extracts quantities → Builds the BOQ → Applies cost data → Generates a ready-to-bid estimate What used to require multiple handoffs, spreadsheets, and follow-ups can now happen in hours. Across our beta customers, we are seeing: - 95%+ reduction in estimation time - Faster bid submissions - Shorter sales cycles - Better alignment between estimated and actual costs Importantly, this is not automation without oversight. Every estimate still includes a human in the loop - reviewing assumptions, validating outputs, and ensuring the final numbers reflect real project context. This is just the first of several agents we’ve built. In the coming weeks, I’ll share how we’re applying the same approach to other agents in the procurement life-cycle of the construction business.

You don’t realize enough how contagious humans are... relentlessly remove the negative. Roger Federer changed his dentist because he was too negative. Cut them out.

The currency that makes any VC Fund or Investor, a great VC is - respect from Founders. Not money, or fund size or their shareholding. Just respect from Founders.

Weeks of pre-construction work can now be done in hours. In a typical construction project, 70-80% of the total cost sits inside procurement. Involving estimation, material selection, vendors, inventory, rates, buying decisions. Over exceeding procurement spend is the biggest reason why margins are lost. That’s why we built Procurement AI - a system of agents that does end-to-end procurement for your construction projects. In the next few posts I will cover these AI agents - starting with Estimation. Estimation agent answers a basic question: What is the project going to cost? Projects don’t start on site. They start with a drawing. From which you make a Bill of Quantities(BOQ). A set of drawings arrives from the client. Many times incomplete. Sometimes revised multiple times. An estimation engineer starts reviewing them sheet by sheet. Quantities are extracted manually. Specifications are cross-checked. Rates are pulled from old spreadsheets or past projects. Existing inventory prices are checked. Vendors are called to confirm current prices. Revisions come in, and parts of the BOQ have to be rebuilt again. This process repeats. Across teams, versions, and days. That is why creating a final BOQ can take days or even weeks, not just because the workflow is heavy, fragmented, and dependent on a few experienced people and their memory. With the agent, what used to take weeks can now be done in hours. More soon on how it works. @Powerplay_app #PowerplayAI

Last Thursday, we launched AI agents built for construction. We expected ~150 participants. 230+ showed up. Within days, some of the country’s most respected engineering & construction firms reached out to explore how this could be deployed on their projects, further strengthening our growing revenue pipeline. The industry is moving from curiosity to adoption in AI really fast. @Powerplay_app @shubham7stark #PowerplayAI #ConstructionTech

Say Hello to the AI Workforce for the Indian construction industry from @Powerplay_app. The largest proprietary dataset for Indian construction and 5 autonomous vertical AI agents! Tremendous progress made by @IeshDixit @shubham7stark and team from our 5th cohort @_surgeahead!
Surge@_surgeahead

For the last four years, @Powerplay_app has been focusing on digitizing construction & building a massive operational dataset across 85,000+ projects. Now, they’re turning that data into action with India’s first AI Workforce for construction. 💪🏼 By moving from software that just records activity, to domain-trained AI agents that actually execute complex workflows, they’re setting a new standard for the industry. Great to see this vision come to life. Congrats @IeshDixit, @shubham7stark and the team on your launch! 🚀 …acturing.economictimes.indiatimes.com/amp/news/indus…

Now that I have been a founder again for ~3 months, I can tell you first hand so much advice is so easy to say but difficult to implement. Not to say advice is wrong, but just difficult to do. - Focus - how do you do that in a noisy world - Ideas are dime a dozen - haha good ones apparently not - be truth seeking - takes constant effort and reminding to yourself - Plan things well, think of a layered product strategy as that makes the job easier - but how do you do that when you are also discovering the product And so many many more.
