DevHawk for Architecture, Engineering and Construction | Build AI That Actually Goes Live

Fraction is now DevHawk

Same team, new name, new model. We build with agentic engineering: small senior teams directing fleets of coding agents, which is why the scope that used to need a department now needs a pod.

Read the full story.

Architecture, engineering and construction

So, you're finally building with AI.

Every GC, sub, design firm and construction software company has been told they need AI. Far fewer have anything in production that a project team opens on a Monday. That gap is the whole job.

We deploy AI agents to either build custom software for you (20% human, 80% agentic) or fix bottlenecks in your engineering pipeline slowing down the team.

Two Ways to Run Our AI Agents

Your AI agents cover the whole build and keep it running: specs, code, review, QA, infrastructure, maintenance. Choose to have our senior engineers operate the factory, or run it in-house with our setup and support behind you.

We Manage it For You

Get output without running the engineering operation. Bring us your roadmap and we take it from there: we operate the agents, ship the releases, and own everything after launch.

Run the Agents yourself, with our support

The DIY option. We customize the agents, plug them into your existing engineering operation, and you run it.

Tell us what you're trying to build.

Most conversations in this space start in one of these places. Find the row that sounds like your week — that's the conversation we want to have.

  • E-1

    Estimating

    Bids rest on one senior estimator's spreadsheet, and historical cost data never makes it into the next number.

  • E-2

    Takeoff and quantities

    Every drawing revision means re-counting by hand, and nobody can say what changed between Rev C and Rev D.

  • R-1

    Reporting

    Monthly owner and exec reporting is a person exporting from three systems and pasting into a deck.

  • A-1

    Forecasting and analytics

    You can see cost to date. Cost at completion is a feeling, and it arrives a month late.

  • D-1

    Documents and submittals

    RFIs, submittals, specs and change orders live in four systems that don't talk, so answers get re-litigated.

  • F-1

    Field capture

    Daily logs get written twice — once on paper in the truck, once in the app that night.

  • T-1

    Product roadmap

    Features your customers keep asking for sit behind an engineering queue you can't hire your way out of.

  • T-2

    Customer integrations

    Every new logo means another Procore, Autodesk or ERP connector built from scratch by your senior people.

The shaded rows are the ones we hear from software teams; the rest come from operators. Plenty of firms are both. Not on the list? Bring it anyway — the first call is scoping, not selling.

We build on the stack you already run.

No rip and replace. We connect to what your teams open every day, and your system of record stays where it is. If you're the one building the platform, this is the list your customers ask you to integrate with.

  • Procore Project management
  • Autodesk Construction Cloud BIM 360 / Docs
  • Revit and Navisworks Models and clash
  • Bluebeam Revu Markups and takeoff
  • Sage 300 CRE ERP and job cost
  • Viewpoint Vista ERP and job cost
  • Trimble and HCSS Field and heavy civil
  • Oracle Primavera P6 Scheduling
  • Egnyte and SharePoint Document storage
  • Textura and GCPay Pay applications
  • Salesforce and HubSpot Pursuits and CRM
  • Power BI and Snowflake Warehouse and BI

Also: custom ERPs, legacy SQL job-cost databases, and the shared drive nobody wants to talk about.

What changed, in plain terms.

The technology stopped being the constraint about eighteen months ago. Ownership is the constraint now.

How it used to work

  • Job cost, project management and the shared drive each hold a different version of the truth
  • Quantities and estimates rebuilt by hand every time a drawing revision lands
  • Owner and exec reporting assembled by a person the week it's due
  • Connector work quoted in quarters and priced like a change order
  • Pilots that die somewhere between the demo and the jobsite

How it works now

  • One layer reading across your systems without moving your system of record
  • Estimates and forecasts that update themselves when the drawings change
  • Reporting that rebuilds overnight instead of being assembled
  • Integration work measured against your release cycle, not a procurement cycle
  • Something in the hands of a project team, not a steering committee

Case studies

Work we've put into production.

Two builds, start to finish: the problem, what we shipped, and what the client said about it.

ProNovos

Construction financial intelligence

Five weeks to alpha.
Weekly production releases since.

What they needed

Their platform serves 77 construction firms, but releases came every 2–3 weeks from an outsourced team, pages took 5–15 seconds to load, and there was zero test automation. Their own product director had already proven the product could be rebuilt in Claude. They needed the engineering system to make it real.

What we did

Stood up the Software Factory in April: scaffolded repo, CI/CD, QA automation from zero, and coached their product director, PM, and designer to ship production code with agents. Weekly production releases since May.

From the client

“We had a conversation at 4:30 one evening. The next day at our 1:00 call, they had already built what we were talking about. I got to give the build team an A-plus.”

Bruce Orr, CEO, ProNovos

Paryani Construction

Commercial construction

Prototype in one week.
Production in ten.

What they needed

This Atlanta GC's founder had built his own subcontract tool with ChatGPT and Excel VBA. It worked “98% of the time”, but edge cases were breaking it, and data still reached their ERP by manual CSV import.

What we did

Rebuilt the tool from scratch, wired read/write sync into their Acumatica ERP, added e-signature and role-based approvals, and ran our own QA pass before their team ever tested it. Deployed to production June 24.

From the client

“Every single project that goes out for bid, you're competing against two other contractors minimum... from the perspective of software, that's also competition. Who has the best software... I want to win.”

Bhavik Paryani, Founder, Paryani Construction
