BuiltByPELT · Legacy
Legacy reads your drawings the way your best people read them — against every RFI your company has ever written and every hard lesson your veterans have earned — then hands the answer to whoever is standing on the job.
The knowledge is leaving. Nobody wrote it down.
A system built by the people who built the company.
When a thirty-year superintendent retires, decades of “here’s what to watch for” leave with them. The next crew relearns it the hard way — in RFIs, change orders and field mistakes.
And a generic AI tool won’t save you. It doesn’t know how your company builds, and every drawing you feed it makes it smarter for your competitors too. Legacy keeps that judgment inside the company that earned it — and passes it to the ones coming up.
How Legacy Works
Load the bid set. Legacy works the drawings for scope gaps, scope overlaps, and the conflicts that turn into change orders.
It flags what nobody is carrying and what two trades are both carrying — while it is still a number on a bid, not a claim on a job.
Every flag traces to something real — a veteran’s judgment, or an RFI your own company already wrote.
Your people’s encoded experience and your RFI history from old jobs. Not an industry average. Your record, on your work.
Stop sending questions. Send what has already been approved — by them, on your jobs.
Legacy keeps your own RFI history and what each design team has previously approved, so you submit precedent instead of an inquiry.
The whole record goes in the pocket of every person on every site you have running.
Superintendents and PMs ask the database against a live issue and get your company’s own history back — scoped to their role.
The Precedent Advantage
An RFI is a question, and a question costs you a week. Legacy keeps two separate records so that most of the time you are not asking one — you are pointing at an answer that already exists.
Every RFI your company has written, indexed against the drawings that caused it. When the same detail surfaces on a new set, Legacy already knows what it cost you last time and how it got resolved — before anyone opens a new one.
You work with the same architects and engineers over and over. Legacy keeps what each of them has already approved and answered, by firm. So you don’t submit a question — you submit “this is what you approved before.” Fewer rounds, faster answers.
The Difference
| Generic construction AI | BuiltByPELT Legacy |
|---|---|
| Averaged across everyone | Built from your people’s judgment |
| You adapt to their tool | The tool works the way you work |
| Your data trains their product — for competitors too | Your knowledge never leaves your company |
| Rented — lock-in is the point | Owned — export and hold the keys |
| Reads a set with no memory of yours | Reads it against every RFI you’ve written |
| “The AI found a problem” | “Ray, 34 years, taught it to catch this” |
The Field App · In Every Pocket, On Every Job
A downloadable app your whole company carries. A superintendent hits a problem in the field and asks it the way he’d ask the guy who’s seen it before — has this happened before? — and gets your own history back: the job, the RFI, what was approved, how it got solved. Voice or text, across every job you have running, scoped to each person’s role. Someone leaves? A per-person kill switch ends their access that afternoon.
The Legacy Foundation
Make your veterans Legacy Founders. Every issue the system catches is money you didn’t lose — and a share of it can fund their retirement, or a cause they choose, in their name. Give a thirty-year career the send-off it earned.
