Brickanta vs Provision

Two Y Combinator-backed AI platforms that read tender drawings, specs and contracts before the bid, priced in very different ways. Brickanta, from Stockholm, runs AI agents for tender risk and gap review, repackaging an RFP into procurement packages, a knowledge base of past projects and contract review against Swedish construction law, at about €890 per user per month on its Quickstart plan. Provision sells three products (Chat Agent, Scope Agent and Risk Review) priced per project rather than per seat, starting from $50, $500 and $100 per project. Desk research from vendor pages read Oct 29, 2026; not tested, no winner.

What it doesAgentic AI platform from Stockholm that reads tender documents, assembles procurement packages and reviews contracts for builders. Its YC profile describes hundreds of construction-specific AI agents for project analysis, insights, tenders and procurement, combined with an organization's own project data, templates and workflows. The product page (read Oct 18, 2026) lists modules: AI Documents (reads every drawing, spec and contract in a tender and surfaces risks, gaps and opportunities), Repackaging (turns a raw RFP into discipline-specific procurement packages), Knowledge Base (completed projects become searchable, including pricing, deviations and decisions), Construction Law (reviews contracts against Swedish construction law and court precedent and flags risky clauses with the reasoning) and Quality Assurance (structured project checkpoints). Firms upload their own standards from SharePoint, OneDrive or a computer and the agents apply them as rules; implementation is done with the customer on site by Brickanta's forward-deployed engineers. Brickanta states ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification, GDPR compliance and EU AI Act compliance (vendor statements). Homepage figures such as 3x faster bidding and 56 hours saved monthly are vendor claims, not verified. Y Combinator batch: Fall 2025 (YC company profile). Re-read Oct 19, 2026: modules and security statements are unchanged (the security section still states EU AI Act, ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and GDPR compliance); the homepage now announces an all-new Brickanta and the product page says new features ship every week (vendor statements). Re-checked Oct 20, 2026: product modules (AI Documents, Repackaging, Knowledge Base, Construction Law, Quality Assurance) and security statements (EU AI Act, ISO/IEC 27001:2022, GDPR) unchanged. The product page now describes its architecture as an application layer (client data, integrations, document intelligence, an agentic harness) over the same LLMs available to everyone, and the homepage carries a banner announcing an $8M seed round led by Northzone and says forward-deployed engineers handle setup from SharePoint and OneDrive through onboarding (vendor statements). Homepage percentages, capacity multiples and customer quotes are not used here. Re-checked Oct 22, 2026: homepage, product and pricing pages unchanged in substance (AI Documents, Repackaging, Knowledge Base, Construction Law for Swedish law and Quality Assurance; EU AI Act, ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and GDPR statements). The homepage now has sections for groundwork, residential, commercial and public buildings, and installation contractors, plus an FAQ that includes whether customer data is used to train its AI models. Percentage and hours figures and customer quotes on the site are vendor material and are not used. Re-checked Oct 24, 2026: the homepage has been redesigned ("The all-new Brickanta is here"): it now pitches agentic AI that carries decisions and evidence across every handover, with agents for tendering, procurement, construction law and compliance, says it is used by mid-market subcontractors, large global general contractors and real estate developers, and describes forward deployed engineers who implement on site (SharePoint and OneDrive integration, onboarding, knowledge transfer). Percentage, hours and capacity figures and customer quotes are vendor material and are not used. Re-checked Oct 26, 2026: homepage unchanged in substance (agents for tendering, procurement, construction law and compliance that read documents against the firm's history and flag what needs a human call; setup from SharePoint connection to data integration handled by Brickanta; the $8M seed round led by Northzone still shown). The menu now lists segment pages: Brickanta for Groundwork, Residential, Commercial & Public Buildings and Installation. Customer quotes and figures are vendor material and not used.AI preconstruction platform with a Chat Agent for cited document answers, a Scope Agent for scopes of work, and Risk Review for contract risk. The Chat Agent gives source-cited answers from drawings, specs, contracts, RFIs, and addenda; the Scope Agent writes scopes of work and finds scope gaps; Risk Review is automated contract analysis that flags risky clauses, missing scope, and commercial exposures with citations, severity levels, default-position comparison, and RFI/redline generation. Vendor claims 95% verified accuracy, that it can read up to 100,000 pages, and that it is SOC 2 Type II certified (vendor claims, not verified). Homepage cites 66,000+ documents processed, 1M+ risks identified, and 50,000+ queries answered. Risk Review page (read Oct 16, 2026) now describes contract review and spec review bundled in one product: spec requirements surfaced and organized, requirements traced across specs, drawings and contracts, cross-document conflict detection, conflicting or unclear requirements flagged before bid day, and unlimited custom checklists (vendor descriptions). Site banner says Scope Agent is now generally available. Its YC profile (read Oct 18, 2026) now describes Provision as building the AI Estimator for construction, identifying risks and obligations in contracts, specs and drawings.

Re-checked Oct 23, 2026: homepage and pricing page unchanged in substance (Chat Agent, Risk Review and Scope Agent sold per project); the homepage adds a link to grade a scope of work first. Review-site rating, accuracy percentage and case-study figures remain vendor content not used here.

Where the vendor descriptions differ

  • Products: Brickanta's product page lists AI Documents (reads every drawing, spec and contract in the tender and surfaces risks, gaps and opportunities), Repackaging (turns a raw RFP into discipline-specific procurement packages), Knowledge Base (completed projects become searchable memory), Construction Law and Quality Assurance checkpoints. Provision's pricing page lists Chat Agent (source-cited answers from drawings, specs, contracts, RFIs and addenda, up to 100,000 pages per project), Scope Agent (finds missing, unclear or conflicting scope and generates standardized scope packages) and Risk Review (flags risky clauses and commercial exposures with citations and custom review checklists).
  • Scope packages: both describe building trade or discipline packages from bid documents. Brickanta calls it Repackaging a raw RFP into procurement packages; Provision's Scope Agent generates standardized scope packages and flags scope gaps before bid day.
  • Contracts: Brickanta's Construction Law module reviews contracts against Swedish construction law and court precedent and explains each flagged clause. Provision's Risk Review flags risky clauses against standardized risk positions and custom checklists; its pricing page does not name a jurisdiction.
  • Firm standards: Brickanta says firms upload standards from SharePoint, OneDrive or a computer and the agents apply each document as rules on every project, with forward-deployed engineers handling setup on site. Provision lists custom review checklists and standardized risk positions across projects.
  • Pricing (checked Oct 29, 2026): Brickanta's Quickstart is about €890 per user per month (shown as "~ €890") with a 30-day money-back guarantee, unlimited AI agents, system integrations and a dedicated implementation expert; Enterprise is custom with a low-risk pilot or opt-out period. Provision prices per project, not per seat: Chat Agent from $50, Risk Review from $100 and Scope Agent from $500 per project, with Chat Agent included free with Scope Agent or Risk Review and platform plans with volume pricing through sales. See each tool page for detail.
  • How the bill grows: Brickanta's Quickstart cost scales with users; Provision's scales with projects, and its page says the whole team can be added to a project without adding to the bill. Which is cheaper depends on how many people and how many bids you run.
  • AI tags: both are listed as AI-first in the directory.
  • Not used here: Brickanta's speed, capacity and hours-saved figures, ROI calculator and customer quotes, and Provision's accuracy percentages, competitor comparison table and customer material (vendor material). Neither tool has been tested by Means & Methods Lab.
