Rafter · AI assistant for construction directors

Your site office, in one chat.

Rafter runs the office side of a construction company from the director's phone: the morning briefing, jobs and snags, supplier orders and deliveries, weather and road alerts, and your Microsoft 365 email and calendar. By text or by voice.

Case study · Rafter

What an assistant looks like in a real trade.

Rafter is the personal assistant we built for a construction company. These are screens from the app itself; the sites, tasks and figures are made up for this page.

What Rafter does every day

  • Briefs the director every morning: today's jobs, deliveries, weather and traffic.
  • Checks the roof window from the hourly forecast before booking outdoor work.
  • Plans the day around drive times and live road delays, and alerts on road problems near live sites.
  • Books visits into the Microsoft 365 calendar and drafts emails, sent only when the director says so.
  • Emails suppliers to order felt, capping and flashings, and tracks the deliveries.
  • Keeps tasks, snags, site photos and PDF reports for every job, by text or voice.

Example data throughout: The Old Bank, Riverside Apartments, Northgate Data Centre and a house in Malahide are not real clients.
