Hevi
An AI assistant that monitors construction contract notification deadlines to prevent the loss of claim rights.
Visit Website ↗Construction contracts feature a brutal reality: many claims come with strict "notification deadlines," meaning that once the clock runs out, you lose your right to payment—even if your claim is entirely valid. In practice, construction sites generate mountains of daily logs, correspondence, and meeting minutes every day. Manually sifting through these documents to spot items like "this issue requires a formal notice within 28 days" is nearly impossible. That is precisely what Hevi does—it reads your contracts and site documents, proactively alerting you when a deadline is fast approaching.
Core Features & Use Cases
Hevi breaks down contract clauses (such as standard forms like NEC and FIDIC) into trackable obligations and deadlines. It then continuously monitors site logs and correspondence, cross-referencing them to flag events that may trigger notification obligations and issuing early warnings. Its core value proposition isn't document generation—it's ensuring nothing slips through the cracks to prevent time-bar defenses and contract leakage.
It is ideal for contractor contract management departments, engineering consultants, and construction legal teams. Construction disputes often get bogged down in notification procedures and documentation, making this approach of "automated contract obligation tracking" highly valuable for modern project management.

Editor's Note
This is one of the few recent products where AI directly impacts visible, tangible capital. The amount of money the construction industry loses annually due to missed notifications is far greater than most people realize.
FAQ
Can this be used for non-standard local public works contracts?
It is primarily designed for international standard contracts like NEC and FIDIC. If local procurement contracts feature different clause structures, it is recommended to check compatibility with the vendor before deployment.
What happens if the AI makes a wrong judgment?
Hevi is positioned as an early-warning tool rather than a decision-maker. After it triggers an alert, contract managers or legal personnel must still verify whether a formal notice needs to be issued. The cost of a missed deadline is higher than a false alarm, so the system is intentionally designed to err on the side of caution.
