AI intake for structural engineering firms
Porto learns the building, the structural question, the project team and the deadline, so your engineers know the scope before anyone visits the site.
Bracewell Structural
AI assistant
Hi, I’m the AI assistant for Bracewell Structural. What structural help do you need?
We want to remove a wall between the kitchen and living room. Our contractor thinks it’s load bearing.
Contractor already covered
So it moves on to the house
Thanks. How old is the house, and is there a second floor above that wall?
What Porto does for structural engineering firms
Porto replaces the contact form on a structural engineering firm’s website with a short AI conversation. It learns the building, the structural issue or design need, who else is on the project and the deadline, and sends your project engineer a brief before the site visit.
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.
Building
Type, age, stories and construction
Need
New design, repair, inspection or a wall removal
Team
Architect, contractor or owner leading the work
Documents
Existing drawings and any permit requirement
Deadline
Permit dates and construction start
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.
