First Rule

AI-first Precon: contract, document & drawing review

WHAT IT DOES

Construction-specific contract review and management platform. Users upload a prime contract or subcontract (PDF or Word); its AI assistant, Marten, flags risky clauses against a construction playbook, explains them in plain English with links to the exact clause, answers questions on contracts, specs and change orders, and produces a jobsite-ready summary. Prebuilt playbooks carry risk levels, preferred language and fallback positions, with embedded video guidance from construction attorneys. Clause types named include pay-if-paid, indemnity, liquidated damages and notice requirements. Vendor describes the review as construction-trained and human-backed; higher tiers list organization-specific playbooks, flow-down risk analysis between prime contract and subcontract, and customer-hosted Microsoft Azure deployment.

WHO IT'S FOR

General contractors, subcontractors, owners, design professionals and construction attorneys (vendor wording).
