Haynes Construction AI Agent

Haynes Construction is a commercial construction company with over 20 years of experience delivering large-scale projects across retail, hospitality, and multifamily sectors. The company manages multiple datasets spread across four main shared drives, along with SaaS platforms including Procore (project management, open API), FollowUp CRM (sales pipeline management, open API), and Sage100 (financial system on SQL, no cloud-based API). Despite the wealth of historical data, information is siloed and inconsistently indexed, creating inefficiencies in data retrieval and analysis. The goal is to unlock the potential of this data through AI-driven analytics and a chatbot interface to improve decision-making, forecasting, and operational efficiency. This project focuses on developing an AI Agent to make data retrieval and analysis more efficient and intelligent. The Haynes AI Chatbot will serve as a data assistant for construction project insights, allowing users to ask natural-language questions (e.g., “What was the cost per trade for Project X?” or “Compare scheduled vs. actual completion dates for 2024 projects”) and receive instant, data-driven answers. This first phase focuses on uncovering and structuring five foundational datasets that the chatbot can query, enabling predictive and operational analysis in future phases.
