Format: Online Live Demo
Most design-build firms in the US and Canada don’t have a communication problem. They have a handoff problem.
Sales closes a project. Design starts working from a brief that arrived by email. Site gets a set of drawings and a budget figure — but not the context behind either. By the time something goes wrong, three different teams have been working from three different versions of the same information, and nobody noticed until it became expensive.
This isn’t a failure of people. It’s a failure of infrastructure. And it’s exactly what this session — and IntoAEC’s construction management software for contractors — is built to address.

From Sales to Site — Where the Gaps Actually Live
Construction software marketing uses the phrase “from sales to site” a lot. It’s worth being specific about what it actually means — and where the real friction sits for design-build firms.
Between sales and design: The client signs a proposal. The client’s expectations, the scope qualifications, the allowances — all of that lives in documents that design may or may not have fully read. Work begins on assumptions rather than facts.
Between design and procurement: Specifications get drawn. Procurement starts sourcing based on those specs — but when the design changes, procurement doesn’t always know immediately. By the time someone raises the purchase order, the spec it references may already be out of date.
Between procurement and site: Materials arrive that don’t match the original specification. Budgets shift without site leads knowing why. RFIs pile up because the information needed to answer them is sitting in someone else’s inbox.
Procore, Autodesk Build, and similar enterprise platforms address parts of this — but they’re built for large programme teams with dedicated coordinators to manage the information flow. For a mid-size design-build firm running five to twenty projects simultaneously, that overhead doesn’t make sense.
IntoAEC connects these stages natively, without requiring a team of administrators to keep it functioning.
What “One Connected Platform” Looks Like in Practice
It’s not about having all your tools in one login screen. It’s about whether a change in one part of the project automatically reflects everywhere else it matters.
When a client approves a scope change in IntoAEC, the estimate updates immediately. That update flows into procurement, triggering a new purchase order against the live project budget. As the budget shifts, the project dashboard reflects it — and so does the client portal.
No manual transfer. Version conflicts disappear. No one chasing an update across three systems.
That’s what this demo shows. Not slides. Not a concept. A live walkthrough of a connected workflow that design-build teams can actually use from day one.
What the Demo Covers
Estimates & BOQ with Zyra AI
Watch Zyra AI generate structured, itemised cost estimates from project inputs — quantities, rates, labour, materials — in minutes. Your estimators stop rebuilding from scratch on every tender and start focusing on the judgment calls that actually require their expertise.
Proposals
See a completed estimate convert into a polished, branded client proposal in one step. The data is the same document — it just changes its presentation depending on who’s looking at it.
Procurement
Watch how vendor management, purchase orders, and budget tracking stay live and connected throughout the project lifecycle. Cost visibility doesn’t wait for month-end reporting — it’s there when decisions are being made.
Customer Portal
See how clients access project milestones, review selections, and track progress without calling your project manager. Less admin on your side. A better experience on theirs.
Sales to Site Workflow
This is the thread that runs through everything. You’ll see how a qualified lead moves through proposal, into active project, through procurement, and into delivery — without any manual handoff breaking the chain.
Live Q&A
Shashank takes questions at the end. If you’re mid-evaluation on another platform, or trying to figure out whether IntoAEC fits a specific workflow you’re running, this is the right time to ask.
Why This Matters More Right Now
The design-build market in the US and Canada is under margin pressure. Material costs have stabilised after years of volatility, but labour costs haven’t, and clients have recalibrated their expectations on timelines and transparency.
The firms absorbing this pressure best aren’t the ones cutting corners. They’re the ones whose internal operations are tight enough that they’re not losing margin to administrative overhead, rework, and information lag.
That’s a competitive advantage that compounds over time — and it starts with getting the infrastructure right.
Who Should Attend
This session is for design-build contractors, general contractors, and specialty firms across the US and Canada who are actively managing or scaling a multi-stage project workflow.
If you’re a Principal, Operations Director, Project Manager, Estimator, or Commercial lead — particularly at a firm running between $2M and $100M in annual project value — the workflow shown in this demo will be directly relevant to how you operate.
Especially if your current setup involves separate tools for estimating, proposals, procurement, and client communication that don’t talk to each other without someone manually moving information between them.
