What does AI construction software do for a UK contractor?

It reads the drawings, specification, bill and contract of a project and runs one workflow on them at a time: measurement to NRM2, tender analysis, subcontract comparison, revision comparison, variations and interim valuations. Every result keeps its source, and your quantity surveyors approve it.

Has Mirage worked with a UK contractor?

Not yet. A UK project would be the first. The agents involved run in production at OCBM and John Cockerill, and Mirage's clients are in France, Spain, Morocco, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and the United States.

Does Mirage measure to NRM2?

Yes. Quantities are measured into an NRM2-structured bill, each line linked to its sheet and revision. NRM1 order-of-cost estimates and NRM3 maintenance works are read the same way once the rule set is confirmed with your team.

Can it work on NEC4 and JCT contracts?

Yes. It reads the contract and its schedules, extracts the time limits and the records each change requires, and tracks NEC4 early warnings and compensation events or JCT variations against them. Contractual decisions stay with your team.

Does it replace our quantity surveyors?

No. It removes the manual measurement and checking pass. Your quantity surveyors apply rates, judgement and sign-off.

Where is our project data held?

In your infrastructure or your cloud, with your keys and your logs. Mirage's access can be limited or removed. The security page answers the ten questions a security review asks.

How long until a first workflow is live?

A proof of concept one week after the first meeting, then the first workflow in production in 4 to 6 weeks: your rules and document conventions first, then a pilot on one live project.

How much does it cost?

A fixed-price pilot on one real project, which you can stop after, then an annual subscription priced by volume. Prices start at $10,000 to launch and $1,000 a month; the exact amount is quoted in the first conversation.

CONSTRUCTION INTELLIGENCE / UNITED KINGDOM

AI construction software for UK contractors and commercial teams

Mirage reads drawings, specifications, bills of quantities and tender documents, measures quantities against your rules and runs source-traceable workflows across tendering, revisions, variations and commercial control, inside the systems your teams already use.

Workflows UK practice FAQ

A UK project would be Mirage's first there, on the measurement and document agents already in production at OCBM and John Cockerill.

UK commercial teams measure by hand, check the bill against every drawing issue, then keep variations and valuations in step with the scope.

Start with one workflow, then extend it

Most teams start with measurement or tender analysis. Once Mirage knows your drawings, measurement rules and systems, the same project data serves revisions, variations and valuations.

Tendering and measurement

Measurement to NRM2: Quantities measured from the drawing set into an NRM2-structured bill, each line tied to its sheet and revision.
Tender analysis: Drawings, specification, preliminaries and contract conditions read together: requirements, exclusions and points to clarify listed before submission.
Subcontract tender comparison: Subcontractor quotations read in the format they arrive and compared line by line against your scope: exclusions, missing items, quantity differences.

Revisions and project documents

Drawing revision comparison: Two issues of a drawing set compared: what was added, removed or changed, and what it does to the measured quantities.
Specification and drawing checks: The specification checked against the drawings and the bill, each conflict cited to its clause and sheet.
Golden thread and CDM records: The building information the Building Safety Act requires for higher-risk buildings, and the CDM health and safety file, kept current from the project's own documents.

Commercial control

Variations and compensation events: Each change tied to the instruction, revised drawing and measured quantities behind it; NEC4 early warnings and compensation events tracked against their time limits.
Interim valuations: Applications and subcontractor valuations checked against measured work, the bill and agreed variations, before your team issues a payment or pay less notice.
Progress reporting: Site reports and project records turned into structured progress data, without re-keying.

Built around UK practice

Measurement: NRM2 for detailed measurement and bills of quantities; NRM1 cost plans and NRM3 maintenance works read the same way once the rule set is confirmed with your team.
Contracts: NEC4 and JCT documents read as contracts: clauses, time limits and the records each change needs.
Changes: Variations under JCT, compensation events under NEC4, each linked to its instruction, drawing and quantities.
Payment: Interim valuations built from measured work and agreed changes; payment and pay less notices stay your team's to issue.
Safety and records: The CDM 2015 health and safety file and the golden thread for higher-risk buildings, maintained from the documents the project already produces.

Every quantity can be checked

A quantity that cannot be traced does not go into a bill or a valuation. Mirage keeps the source attached to every result:

Drawing
Sheet
Revision
Bill item
Specification clause
Contract clause

Your quantity surveyors check each result against the original before it reaches a tender, a valuation or a cost system.

Configured to how your company measures

A forward deployed engineer works with your quantity surveyors, estimators and commercial managers to set Mirage up on your own rules:

Measurement rules
Trade and cost-code structures
Document conventions
Review checklists
Approval routes
Exceptions
Existing systems

Corrections your team makes on one project become rules reused on the next.

The agents a first UK project would run on

Mirage has no UK client yet. These results come from the same measurement and document agents, in production on other markets.

John Cockerill

80-90% reduction in measurement time, from 3-4 days down to a few hours

1 month → a few clicks for a manufacturing bill of materials

3 engineering disciplines running on the same platform

See the case study

OCBM

100% of extracted quantities traceable to a source drawing

3 agents in production, from measurement through to pricing

Dedicated agent cross-checks drawing revisions to surface discrepancies as they occur

See the case study

Works with the systems you already use

Your systems stay the record. Mirage reads from them and writes results back; where no standard connector exists, our engineers build it during deployment.

Autodesk Construction Cloud
Revit
Bluebeam
Procore
Microsoft SharePoint
Oracle
SAP
Sage
