Adaptive vs SuperConstruct
Two AI-first takes on change orders and billing: Adaptive (AI accounting agents on top of your existing ERP) and SuperConstruct (an AI-assisted platform that generates G702/G703 pay apps, waivers and change orders from the SOV). Vendor-published facts only.
Side by side
| Sheet row | Adaptive | SuperConstruct |
|---|---|---|
| Category | AI project accounting agents | AI pay apps, SOV & change orders |
| AI role (our label) | AI-first | AI-first |
| What it does | Agentic project-accounting platform for construction. Vendor lists AI agents for WIP and forecasting, change orders, AP (invoice ingestion and cost coding, duplicate and fraud checks), billings (cost-plus, fixed-price, AIA), cards and bank reconciliation, lien waivers, insurance certificates and W-9s, and a field coordinator that collects updates from supers and PMs by voice, text, or email. Runs on top of the existing ERP (Sage, QuickBooks, Foundation, Acumatica) rather than replacing it, with a bidirectional Procore integration. Vendor says the AI never auto-posts to the general ledger and every action is reviewed by a human first, and that more than 750 builders use it (vendor claims, not verified). Re-read Oct 16, 2026: the homepage describes the Change Order Clerk as monitoring pending change requests, comparing them against contracts, job costs and field updates, drafting change orders, routing them for approval, following up with vendors and owners, and preventing sub payment until client approval is secured (vendor description). Homepage also says it is built for $5M-$1B builders with no ERP migration and links its $30M Series B announcement. | Construction management platform the vendor calls AI-powered and built on an "AI-native data spine", centered on payments: AIA G702/G703 pay apps generated from the live schedule of values (retainage, stored materials and balance-to-finish calculated), conditional and unconditional lien waivers generated from G702 values, ACH payments, lender-ready bank requisition reports, an AI-assisted SOV workflow that flags inconsistencies before approval, and change orders/change requests auto-generated from SOV changes with cost and schedule impact. SuperConstruct AI is a conversational assistant that answers role-scoped project questions, drafts G702/G703, waivers and change orders, flags planned-vs-actual schedule variance, and runs recurring tasks. Also lists daily logs, RFIs with AI thread summaries, document management, inspections, submittals, and Procore, QuickBooks and ChatGPT integrations. Homepage cites 15,000+ waivers automated, $80M+ in payments processed and approval cycles cut by up to 40%, and names municipal Capital Improvement Programs among users (vendor claims). |
| Who it's for | Construction companies with $5M to $1B in revenue: general contractors, specialty trades, custom home builders, developers, and their accounting firms (vendor wording). | Cities and public agencies, general contractors, developers/owners, subcontractors and lenders (vendor wording). |
| Pricing (as publicly stated) | Not publicly listed (monthly base fee scaled to revenue band, covering the first agent; additional agents scoped up front). Pricing page lists month-to-month contracts, 30 to 90 days to go live, unlimited users, no per-seat or transaction fees, and SOC 2 Type 2. Re-checked Oct 16, 2026: pricing still scoped to revenue band and workflows; start with one agent and add more from the agent menu. (Checked Oct 16, 2026.) | Pricing page lists $299 per project per month for general contractors, owners, developers and public agencies, with unlimited users, support and storage; 30-day free trial, no credit card. A separate subcontractor price view did not render in the page text we read. (Checked Oct 16, 2026.) |

Where the vendor descriptions differ
- Change orders: Adaptive's Change Order Clerk monitors pending change requests against contracts, job costs and field updates, drafts change orders, routes approvals and holds sub payment until client approval (vendor description). SuperConstruct auto-generates change orders from SOV changes and its assistant drafts them on request.
- Billing: Adaptive lists a billings clerk for cost-plus, fixed-price and AIA billing. SuperConstruct generates AIA G702/G703 from the live SOV with retainage and stored materials calculated.
- System of record: Adaptive says it runs on top of Sage, QuickBooks, Foundation or Acumatica with no ERP migration. SuperConstruct is the project platform itself, with Procore and QuickBooks integrations.
- Pricing: SuperConstruct publishes $299 per project per month (GC/owner view) with a 30-day trial. Adaptive scopes a monthly base fee to revenue band and agents.

What we can't tell you yet
Which tool is better for your work. That needs testing on the same package with a verified answer key. Planned measures for this comparison:
- Correction rate on a month of real pay apps or change orders
- Outside Means & Methods Lab's current benchmark scope.
