Building on Inertia’s proven inspection and work-in-place technology

Introducing blade ai™, the connected intelligence layer for construction. Built by technology veterans who have experienced the industry’s data challenges firsthand, blade ai connects drawings, models, documents, workflows, field activity, and construction management software around one trusted project baseline. The result is project intelligence that is connected, contextual, traceable, and ready for action.

Cut through the construction data chaos.

blade ai understands the relationships between objects, locations, documents, trades, and workflows — so when something changes, your team can see the ripple effect before it becomes re-work.

The Challenge:

Today's construction management workflow is problematic.

The chaos of more solutions buries answers rather than making it easier to find them.

A forms app over here. A markup tool over there. A model viewer in the corner. Each one stores its own version of the truth, with manual correlation and tab-hopping across teams to stitch the picture back together.

Partitioned data between multiple solutions is a slower and less efficient workflow.

Project workflows today rely on multiple disparate solutions. Drawings, models, RFIs, submittals, inspections, schedules, and photos pour in from every direction. Project data has never been more abundant — or more scattered.

You shouldn't be spending the majority of your time searching multiple solutions for information.

"Before all of this technology our field teams spent 75% of their time outside the trailer managing the work, 25% looking for information. Since we now have all these 'solutions' that's flipped."

— GC superintendent, from workshop with field leaders

Time is money. If field teams are spending 75% of their time searching their solutions for answers, rather than 75% of their time actually building, that's not efficient, profitable, or sustainable.

The Solution:

Introducing connected building intelligence by blade ai:

Now you can interact with the entire project lifecycle in one connected layer.

Before blade ai™, it was team-to-team handoff: design to build, build to turnover, turnover to operations. Each handoff lost data: exported drawings, archived RFI's, printed punch lists, stripped spec context, lost warranty information, and so on.

blade ai's connected building intelligence solution now keeps all the data intact, easy to access, and in one place across all five phases of the building lifecycle.

Phase 1:DESIGN

Get design intent into the field without the export-import shuffle.

FOR ARCHITECTS · VDC · DESIGN MANAGERS

Publish and review Revit and drawing data inside one workspace. Coordinate model elements with contract documents. Catch design conflicts before they hit the schedule — not after they hit the field.

blade ai helps connect all the dots.

The data hunt is over. Get back to building.

Operating cohesively in your workspace, blade ai makes the drawing the system of record. Every door, duct, wall, panel, and pour becomes a first-class object — connected to its spec section, RFI thread, submittal status, inspection history, and turnover record.

With blade ai on the job, your teams can stop hunting for data and get back to building.

A solution built for every role.

Six roles. One solution. No one left working from a spreadsheet.

Every stakeholder on a construction project needs different data in different contexts. blade ai gives each role what they need.

Architect

DESIGN INTENT

blade ai helps architects connect models, drawings, specifications, and RFIs—making inconsistencies, missing information, and coordination risks easier to identify and resolve before they become costly field problems.

  • Headless Revit publishing
  • Design consistency and constructability review
  • Earlier identification of missing or conflicting information

VDC & Innovation Teams

MODEL INTELLIGENCE

blade ai extends beyond model coordination by connecting design intent, constructability reviews, installation planning, field verification, and turnover evidence directly to the drawings and locations teams use every day.

  • Model-to-drawing linkage
  • Provides validated preconstruction data to field teams

General Contractor

PROJECT CONTROL

blade ai gives general contractors a connected view of drawings, models, RFIs, submittals, inspections, schedules, and field activity—helping teams identify risks earlier, coordinate trades, and keep work moving.

  • Earlier visibility into missing, late, or conflicting information
  • Stronger coordination across teams, trades, and locations
  • Faster issue resolution and inspection readiness

Subcontractor

TRADE EXECUTION

blade ai gives subcontractors a clear, location-based view of current drawings, requirements, issues, and inspections—helping crews coordinate work, resolve problems, and document installation directly from the field.

  • Faster issue resolution and inspection readiness
  • Current information at the point of work
  • Clear alignment across trades and locations

Owner's Rep

QUALITY & COMPLIANCE

blade ai gives owners and independent inspectors direct access to connected drawings, requirements, inspections, and field evidence—making it easier to independently validate quality, compliance, progress, and completed work.

  • Current information at the point of work
  • Clear validation of work before approval and payment

Owner

INVESTMENT OVERSIGHT

blade ai preserves construction findings after turnover—connecting inspections, warranties, as-builts, commissioning records, and asset information to the building locations and systems they support.

  • Searchable project history
  • Inspection and commissioning evidence
  • Connected warranty and asset information
Work smarter:

Blade doesn't replace your tech.We make the data inside it smarter.

blade ai sits above your existing construction technology stack, transforming disconnected project data into a connected intelligence layer for faster decisions and better project outcomes.
