The AI-Powered Construction Management Platform.
Procore charges enterprise prices for tools that still don't talk to your GPS tracker or your safety sensors. Aeion Construction unifies BIM clash detection, AI estimating (real CSI cost codes), holographic WebXR site viewing, GPS equipment tracking, and OSHA safety sensors in one platform — all natively wired into the rest of Aeion OS.
The Intelligent Construction Engine
BIM Clash Detection
Before a mechanical duct collides with a structural beam on the actual jobsite, Aeion catches it in the model — comparing every discipline's BIM geometry and opening an RFI automatically the moment two elements physically collide, with exact clash coordinates already attached. Navisworks-compatible federated analysis checks the whole design team's models together, not one discipline at a time.
AI Estimating (CSI Cost Codes)
Type "Build a 10,000 sqft warehouse" and get back a full estimate — materials, labor, equipment, and subcontractor lines, each tagged with the correct CSI cost code (03-30-00 Cast-in-Place Concrete, and so on) and priced down to quantity and unit cost. What used to take an estimator a day now takes a sentence.
Holographic BIM Viewing (WebXR)
Drone photogrammetry captures link to your project automatically the moment processing finishes, so a superintendent can put on an Apple Vision Pro and walk the actual jobsite in AR — or review the same Gaussian-splat capture (PLY/KSPLAT/SPZ, plus GLB/OBJ/FBX/USD/USDZ meshes) from a desktop — before anyone sets foot on site.
NMEA GPS Equipment Tracking
Know where every excavator, crane, and generator actually is without buying a separate fleet-tracking subscription. Aeion reads standard NMEA GPS data (GPGGA/GNGGA fix, GPRMC/GNRMC recommended-minimum sentences) straight off serial or BLE devices already on your equipment, converting speed, heading, altitude, and HDOP into a live, cached location feed.
OSHA Safety Sensors
Gas, noise, dust, and heat sensors on the jobsite feed straight into OSHA's actual thresholds — CO TWA 50ppm / ceiling 200ppm, H2S peak 50ppm, 90dB noise PEL, with Rothfusz-regression heat index — so a dangerous reading doesn't wait for someone to notice. Alerts escalate from safe to caution to danger to evacuate automatically, catching hazards before they become injuries.
Worker Badge RFID Check-In
Workers badge in and out with a standard RFID or NFC reader, and every check-in becomes a timestamped record tied to crew management and OSHA compliance — so "who was on site, and when" is always a real answer during an audit or an incident investigation, not a guess from memory.
Equipment RFID Tracking
Tag excavators, cranes, and generators with RFID and always know what's checked out, to which site, and for how long — feeding straight into asset management so equipment doesn't quietly disappear between jobs.
Jobsite Multi-Cam Supervision
Every helmet-cam worker streams into one supervisor's grid view in real time, recorded by default so you have an OSHA- and insurance-ready archive of exactly what happened on site — down to per-frame GPS — instead of relying on after-the-fact witness accounts.
Environmental Weather Station
A local weather station feeds live temperature, humidity, wind, and barometric data directly into heat-index safety decisions — triggering automatic work-hold alerts before conditions cross into dangerous territory, instead of relying on a forecast from twenty miles away.
Immutable Cost Ledger
Every cost entry posts to a tamper-proof ledger where corrections are always new entries, never silent overwrites — so budget-vs-actual variance per cost code, cash flow projections, and job cost reports are always built on a number you can defend in an audit, not a spreadsheet someone could have quietly edited.
Schedule Delay Detection
The schedule engine does the math continuously — comparing every task's end date against today, identifying the critical path, and generating a week-by-week lookahead — so a slipping task triggers an automatic alert well before it quietly becomes next month's crisis.
Reliable Background Automation
Recurring operations like lookahead-schedule generation run on a resilient job queue with priority handling and automatic retries, so transient failures never silently drop work.
Parametric Architecture Forge (IFC Authoring)
Author building elements — storeys, walls, slabs — as visual nodes, and the Universal AST Engine compiles them to a real **ISO-10303-21 (STEP) IFC** model you can open in Revit, Rhino, or any IFC tool. The BIM viewer above _imports_ IFC; this _authors and exports_ it — generate model geometry in the browser, no desktop CAD seat required.
Earned Value Tracking
CPI and SPI get calculated automatically from real progress and cost data, so you know whether a project is actually ahead or behind — and by how much — instead of eyeballing a percent-complete estimate someone typed into a spreadsheet.
Closeout & Warranty
Punch lists, certificates of completion, warranty periods, lien waivers, and pay applications all live in the same closeout workflow — so a project doesn't quietly stay 95% done for six months while the paperwork gets chased down separately.
Safety & Training Compliance
Toolbox talks, certification expirations, incident reports, and safety meeting logs are tracked in one place — so when OSHA or your insurer asks for records, you're not reconstructing a compliance history from memory.
Integration Framework
Connects into the systems you already run — sync material costs from your supply chain platform, auto-create projects the moment a CRM deal closes, and keep your existing GC/ERP tools in step with Aeion. Our team handles the setup for your specific stack.
Why Contractors Actually Switch
Lower software costs
Consolidating Procore, PlanGrid, and a separate GPS tracking tool into one platform is the single biggest line-item savings most GCs see in year one.
Rework caught before it's poured
Automatic clash detection between structural and MEP models catches collisions on the drawing, not on site — the kind of mistake that otherwise costs tens of thousands of dollars in demo-and-redo.
An estimate in seconds, not a day
AI estimating turns a plain-language project description into a full CSI-coded takeoff, so pricing a bid doesn't wait on an estimator's calendar.
A hazard gets caught before someone gets hurt
OSHA sensor thresholds trigger evacuate-level alerts automatically — the alternative is finding out about a dangerous gas reading from a worker who noticed it too late.

Autonomous Equipment Scheduling (Dispatcher Agent)
Optimizes heavy machinery routing across multiple active jobsites to prevent double-booking. Fleet managers can audit these assignments via the **"AI Scheduled"** Quick Filter.
Safety Risk Prediction (Safety Manager Agent)
Intercepts daily logs and cross-references weather to predict hazards. Generates a safety risk score and populates the **"High Risk"** dashboard for immediate Superintendent intervention.
Frequently Asked Questions
Upload IFC / Revit / DWG models through the spatial integration; the BIM viewer renders in-browser via WebXR. Clash detection runs server-side against architecture + structure + MEP discipline models; surfaces conflicts in a prioritized list (life-safety > major > minor) with 3D visualization of each clash. Resolution gets tracked back to the originating RFI.
RFI lifecycle (open → assigned → answered → closed) with SLA timers per assignee. Each RFI captures the question, attached drawings/photos, response with reference to spec sections, and chain of approvals. Submittals follow the same workflow — submit → reviewer → approved / rejected with markup / revise-and-resubmit.
Yes — daily logs are mobile-optimized. Field crews submit weather, crew count, equipment on-site, work-completed-vs-planned, safety incidents, and photos directly from their phone. AI hazard prediction scans the log and photos for OSHA-relevant risk signals (workers without PPE, fall hazards, etc.) and surfaces them on the safety dashboard.
Native sync with QuickBooks (Online + Desktop via IIF), Sage Intacct, NetSuite, and Foundation Software via Singularity connectors. Cost codes map automatically. Time entries from field crews flow back to payroll with per-cost-code allocation. Subcontractor compliance docs tracked alongside W-9s / certificates of insurance.
Yes — each worker's profile holds certifications (OSHA 30, fall protection, confined space, etc.) with expiration dates. Tasks requiring specific certifications gate assignment automatically; certifications about to expire surface on the supervisor dashboard 30 days out for retraining scheduling.
The schedule view shows Gantt + critical-path with resource leveling. Drag-and-drop schedule changes propagate to crew assignments and equipment reservations. An AI scheduling assistant suggests resource-optimal sequencing given dependencies and crew availability.
