For construction

24 items on the hub serve construction. Ready-to-run automations first, then the tools they build on.

Ready to run (18)

Install and go. Each one is a complete automation with its own schedule or trigger.

• workflow Drawing Revision Watcher — Watches Gmail for drawing-revision emails. For each PDF attachment, AI reads the title block to extract part_number and rev. Looks the part up in a DrawingsTracker Sheet; if the rev is new, archives the old drawing to a Superseded folder, uploads the new drawing to the workflow's Drive folder, updates the tracker, and emails the estimator + production. Catches mid-production rev changes.
• workflow Lien Deadline Reminder — Daily reminder of upcoming lien deadlines from a user-maintained Sheet. Reminds at 30/14/7/3/1-day windows. The tool does not calculate deadlines from lien rules — user enters dates from their attorney or lien-service vendor.
• workflow Milestone Deadline Watcher — Daily reminder of open project milestones - submittal dates, review windows, permit deadlines - at 30/14/7/3/1-day windows, flagging anything past due or at risk. It does not read your schedule file or recalculate a critical path.
• workflow Project Status Digest — Weekly per-project roll-up — open submittals, open RFIs, pending COs, recent activity. Reads three companion Sheets and produces a one-screen digest per active project.
• workflow RFI Triage — Poll a Gmail label for new RFIs, classify by trade/priority/cost impact via Claude, log to a Google Sheet, and notify the PM. Inbound automation via Gmail.
• workflow Sub COI Expiration Tracker — Daily digest of subcontractor Certificate of Insurance expirations in 30/14/7-day windows. Reads the SubsCOI Google Sheet and alerts the office before a sub's coverage lapses.
• workflow Submittal Tracker — Daily digest of pending submittals — aging by 14/21/28 days, plus items past their target return date. Reads SubmittalLog Google Sheet.
• workflow Timesheet Reminder (Sheets-driven, selective) — Sheet-driven timesheet reminder. Reads a Roster + TimesheetLog Sheet, sends a reminder ONLY to people who haven't submitted this week's timesheet and ONLY on their working days. Pairs with the timesheet-collector skill (which writes TimesheetLog rows). Replaces the static workflow that pinged everyone every weekday regardless of submission state.
• workflow weather-briefing — Text you the weather forecast every morning at 7am
• monitor Drawing Folder Watcher — Poll a Google Drive folder for new and revised construction drawings; daily/hourly digest by project. Detects file additions and modified-time changes via Sheet-backed state. (For machine shops with Gmail-attached drawings, use drawing-rev-watcher instead.)
• monitor Weather Severe Watch — Daily forecast check for severe conditions. Tiered alerts on extreme cold, extreme heat, and dangerous weather wording.
• skill Bid Estimator — Ballpark a bid for a defined scope of construction work using user-provided unit costs, crew rates, and overhead targets. Sanity check, not a substitute for a real estimate.
• skill Change Order Explainer — Plain-English breakdown of a change order — what scope changes, cost impact, time impact, who pays, and hidden clauses that often slip past PMs. For pre-signature review.
• skill CSI Spec Summary — Summarize a CSI MasterFormat spec section — title, scope, key requirements (Part 1 General, Part 2 Products, Part 3 Execution), submittal requirements, and common pitfalls. For PM/sub orientation; not a substitute for reading the actual section.
• skill Material Substitution Advisor — Suggest material substitutions when the specified material is unavailable or unsuitable. Returns 2-4 candidates with property comparisons, machining notes, cost ratios, lead times, and customer-approval implications (ECN/MRB/FAI requirements for aerospace/medical work).
• skill Specification Summary (AMS / ASTM / MIL-STD / etc.) — 60-second orientation on an industry spec — title, scope, key requirements, who invokes it, common pitfalls, verification trail, and related specs. For triage and starting research; not a substitute for the actual standard.
• skill Submittal Reviewer — Cross-check a submittal package (data sheet, product cut sheet, sample literature) against the spec excerpt it's submitted under. Flag missing data, spec mismatches, and non-equivalent product substitutions. Pre-screen for the PM before formal review.
• skill timesheet-collector — Collect employee work hours via any messaging channel. Extract hours per day, project/task notes, and overtime. Validate totals, flag anomalies, and generate weekly summaries for managers.
