How do I get started with BuildersAI?
Download the app from the App Store or Google Play, create an account with your email, and verify the address. New users land in a demo project so you can explore every feature before creating your own.
How do I invite team members to my project?
Open the People tab in your project, tap Invite, and enter their email. Pick their role and profession. They get an email invite, install the app, and join your team automatically.
Can I use BuildersAI without an internet connection?
Yes. BuildersAI is built for sites with patchy signal. You can take photos, view downloaded plans, and browse cached team information offline. Everything syncs automatically when you are back online.
How does SiteBot, the AI assistant, work?
SiteBot is built into every project, in the app and in the browser, and it does two jobs. It answers, for example "what is the spec for the foundation depth", "who was on site on Tuesday" or "what does Part B say about fire doors". It also does the work: raise a snag, reschedule a task and everything that follows it, comment and mention someone, label it, attach a drawing, write up the site diary, post an announcement, invite someone onto the project. There are 54 tools in all, 16 of which change something rather than just report on it. Anything that changes something is read back to you before it can be written, and never written in the same reply, so you always get the chance to stop it. SiteBot only acts on what you have just asked it for. What it will do for you follows your role on the project.
How do I upload construction plans?
Project admins can upload plans from the Plans tab. Tap the + button, select your PDFs, and assign each plan to a discipline (Architectural, Structural, Electrical, and so on). Plans are instantly available to the whole team.
What file types can I upload?
BuildersAI supports PDFs, images (JPG, PNG), Word documents, and Excel spreadsheets. For construction plans we recommend PDFs for the best viewing experience on mobile.
How does photo tagging work?
When you take or upload a photo, our AI suggests relevant tags based on what is in the image. You can accept, edit, or add your own. Tagged photos are easy to find later from the search.
What are the subscription tiers?
Every plan starts with a 14-day free trial with every feature. Then flat monthly plans: Starter (up to 10 users), Professional (up to 50 users), Business (up to 100 users), and Enterprise for larger teams. All plans include photos, plans, files, the AI assistant, and offline mode.
How do I see who's on site today?
The Home screen shows real-time presence indicators for your team. You see who is on site, when they last checked in, and their contact details. Team members check in when they arrive at the project location.
Is my project data secure?
Yes. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest, hosted in the EU, and never shared with third parties. We comply with UK GDPR. You control who has access to your project.
How do I delete my account?
In the app: Profile → Settings → Danger Zone → Delete Account. After confirming with your password, you have a 30-day grace period to change your mind by signing back in. After 30 days, your data is permanently deleted. See the account deletion page for the full flow.
What if my question is not here?
Email support@buildersai.co.uk. You get a real reply from our team, usually the same day during UK business hours.
