AI intake for commercial construction firms
Porto learns the project type, size, design status and schedule, so your preconstruction team knows which opportunities to pursue before the first meeting.
Granite Ridge Construction
AI assistant
Hi, I’m the AI assistant for Granite Ridge Construction. What project are you planning?
A 40,000 square foot medical office building. Our architect is about halfway through design.
Design status already covered
So it moves on to the site
Thank you. Where is the site, and do you own the land or have it under contract?
What Porto does for commercial construction firms
Porto replaces the project inquiry form on a commercial construction firm’s website with a short AI conversation. It learns the project type, the size, the location, the design status and the schedule, and sends your preconstruction team a brief before the first meeting.
What Porto works out in the conversation
These are the topics, not a script. Porto asks only what it still needs, so a visitor who mentions their timeline in the first message never hears that question.
Project
Office, retail, industrial, medical or tenant improvement
Size
Square footage, stories and phases
Design
Concept, design development or construction documents
Delivery
Hard bid, negotiated or design build
Schedule
Target groundbreaking and occupancy dates
The brief your team gets
Every conversation ends with a one page summary and a fit score, sent to the tools you connect. Your team reads it before the first call.

Questions from commercial construction firms
Can Porto give a cost estimate?
No. It collects the project details and leaves estimates to your preconstruction team.
Can it route by market sector?
Yes. Porto sends each brief to the right person, such as your healthcare or industrial lead.
What about small tenant repairs?
You set the minimum project size. Porto lets smaller requests know kindly and can point them elsewhere.
