90% of construction projects finish over budget. What's buried in your contract is often why. Document Crunch is the tool you need to make sure you’re never surprised by the fine print.

Document Crunch is an AI powered contract intelligence platform built specifically for the construction industry. Upload project documents such as prime contracts, subcontracts, specifications, or insurance policies to the AI engine CrunchAI, and let it get to work. CrunchAI scans the document in seconds, automatically flagging risky clauses, flagging obligations, and summarizing the points your team needs to know. Unlike generic AI, CrunchAI is fine tuned specifically to read construction contracts, meaning it knows those niche construction terms in context, and tells your team exactly what they need to know.

The process is straightforward. Upload your construction document directly into Document Crunch. The platform handles pdfs, word documents, and scanned files. CruchAI takes over from there, scanning every page and giving you a summary of what you need to know. The output isn’t a raw document dump either. CrunchAI provides you with highlighted risky clauses explained in plain English, surfaced deadlines and notice requirements so nothing gets missed mid-project. The platform also gives your team a Project Playbook, a condensed, readable summary of the contract that a superintendent can reference. The chat feature works like texting your contract. Your team simply asks the chat a question and it provides an answer with a highlighted source from the document. Document Crunch also integrates directly with Procore and Microsoft Word meaning your team doesn’t have to change their existing workflow to use it.

Construction contracts are not just paperwork. They determine who absorbs cost overruns, liability for when something goes wrong, and who gets paid when disputes arise. The average construction claim in the United States was $42.8 million in 2022, and that number keeps rising. Most of these disputes can be traced back to a clause someone missed or misunderstood during contract review. . Document Crunch fills that gap. Your experienced PMs catch things faster and your field team doesn’t need to wait for a response from the legal team to clarify something. Document Crunch is a safeguard against millions of dollars in additional expenses and is why companies are using it.

Document Crunch has very few bad reviews and most users are enthusiastic about the software. However, there are some consistent limitations worth knowing before you commit. The most upfront issue is the lack of standard pricing. Document Crunch customizes pricing per company, so you will have to contact them to get a quote. Additionally, Document Crunch has redline functionality, but it is largely restricted to Microsoft Word. So if you want to markup your contract, not just review it, you will likely have to convert it to a Word Document. Not necessarily a catch but worth mentioning, Document Crunch is a risk flagging tool, not a legal advisor. It will surface what’s in your contract clearly, but complex legal negotiations and state specific legal questions still require a licensed attorney.

Document Crunch is used by some of the largest contractors in the United States and abroad. Notable names include PCL Construction, The Haskell Company, and Balfour Beatty. Financially, Document Crunch had raised nearly $40 million before being purchased by Trimble in early April 2026. Document Crunch’s massive jumps in revenue, such as $1 million in 2022 to $4.5 million in 2024 show a growing user base and strong interest in document analysis in the construction industry.

If your firm is looking to protect against hidden liability and costs, Document Crunch is worth a look. Contract disputes can make or break your budget, so it’s best to invest in tools that present your contracts in a concise and unambiguous manner.
