From the BIM model to the site record.
Eight construction workstreams, one question: what can be automated, and where can an AI team help? Each page shows what Octo can do, by which path, and what is confirmed by an official source: vendor, open project, ISO, ABNT, Caixa or Planalto.

Octo at work in construction.
A task from request to approval, at a fictional company. The arms measure, plan and execute; the person in charge checks and approves. Each tab is a workstream in this field and links to its page.

What Octo does and what stays with you.
Octo prepares everything, but does not sign. The document of record stays with whoever is accountable for it.
Your team checks
The licensed professional checks what Octo delivered before signing. If something doesn't add up, it goes back to Octo with the correction.
Step: review by the signerWho signs
Octo does not sign. Designs, technical reports, ART/RRT (Brazil's professional responsibility records), accountability reports and any official document are still signed by the company's or agency's licensed professional: here, the responsible engineer or architect, with an ART or RRT.
Sign-off: engineer or architect, with ART/RRTWhich stage is holding up your project?
The assessment starts by reading what you already have, without changing anything. You get a map of what can be automated and decide with it in hand.
