Common Questions
What owners ask before starting.
You may not need additional development where your tools already meet the need. We assess the operating outcome, use the capabilities that fit and build what is missing. Struq then runs and improves the agreed operation.
We build around your current systems where practical. The review identifies what they already handle and which connections or changes the first operation needs. Access and feasibility are confirmed during scoping.
A managed AI workflow built around an agreed business outcome. It could support bid selection, estimating preparation, project coordination, document workflows, billing or another valuable part of your company. The first scope follows the business need.
Your estimators retain scope, pricing, risk and final approval. Existing tools they trust can be part of the workflow. Struq’s role is to connect the preparation, context and approved actions around their work.
The engagement focuses on improving the work around your team. We aim to reduce repeated preparation and coordination so estimators and PMs can spend more time on judgment, delivery and relationships.
The workflow routes the issue to the authorized estimator, PM or leader with relevant context. Scope, pricing, contractual commitments, safety and material exceptions stay with your people under the agreed rules.
We define the required access, data flows and handling arrangements during scoping. Your team approves the systems and operating boundaries before launch. We explain the relevant provider settings and access controls for your engagement.
A focused system targets launch in about 30 days once the agreed scope, required access, rules and feedback are ready. We confirm the schedule and success measure before building.
Struq owns monitoring, maintenance, reporting and improvement of the agreed workflow. Your company sets business priorities, provides agreed access and feedback, and handles decisions that require your authority.
