{"id":65358,"title":"Provision 🏗️📃 - Ironclad for construction","tagline":"Provision helps owners and constructors understand their commercial documents, collaborate with team members, and reduce risk, increasing profits by 5-10%. ","body":"We’re Brendan and Luigi and we’re the co-founders of Provision.\n\n**Problem**\\\nThe construction industry spends $500B annually (\\~4% of market value) on issues stemming from document complexity. Documents are becoming longer, harder to read, and contain obligations that go unchecked eroding profitability. Currently, people use CTRL+F to navigate thousands of pages and Excel to extract information, often resulting in missed obligations, and unexpected costs.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=65358\u0026key=user_uploads/280788/8f4cc15a-b090-4ac2-a0d5-a9eee38cc0eb)\n\n\n**Need**\\\nConstruction professionals need to understand and manage all of the requirements held within these documents, because missing them means delays, budget overruns and even failed projects.\n\n**Enter Provision**\\\nProvision ingests contracts, specs and drawings, and gives users tools to manage risks, obligations and compliance.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=65358\u0026key=user_uploads/280788/edbcd4d6-2298-48c2-9025-edcd7959b3d4)\n\n\n**Backstory**\\\nBoth Luigi and Brendan worked in the construction industry for years before starting Provision. Brendan left the industry, and built two startups over a couple of years but always had aspirations to go back to construction. Luigi worked as a Director at an infrastructure developer for 6 years, where he saw even the most sophisticated constructors fail to understand their documents. We came together in December of 2021 through YC to build something impactful. \n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=65358\u0026key=user_uploads/280788/dc0bd0eb-5339-4efa-9159-cd50050156cb)\n\n\\\n**Ask**\\\nUpvote this post! :)\n\nAnd if anyone has any warm connections to GCs or subcontractors in North America who builds big projects (50M+), we would love an intro.
