From 3 days to 3 hours: AI serving a construction contractor

The Solution

Rather than investing in complex, expensive software, we unlocked the power of what the company was already using — Microsoft 365. By integrating Copilot directly into SharePoint and Office 365, we turned everyday tools into a true intelligent assistant, capable of reading, understanding, and reproducing the company's accumulated expertise.

What We Implemented

• Copilot in SharePoint — Set up to read and analyse the complete history of past quotes, creating an institutional memory accessible in real time

• Copilot in Office 365 — Integrated into Word and Excel to assist with drafting quotes using consistent, precise language suited to a high-end clientele

• Vocabulary standardisation — Defining a common language register reflecting the company's premium positioning

• Training & adoption — Supporting the team in naturally integrating Copilot into their daily workflow

The Results

• 96% reduction in the time spent on estimates

• +20 points in quote acceptance rate — a direct impact on revenue

• Improved understanding of subcontractor submissions thanks to solid comparison benchmarks

• Elevated brand image, aligned with the expectations of a high-end clientele

Less time estimating, more signed contracts — and teams that can breathe. By making each estimator more efficient, the company eliminated the need for sporadic hiring during peak periods, reduced overtime, and restored team morale that is directly reflected in the quality of the work delivered. Sometimes, the best technology isn't the one you add — it's the one you finally learn to use to its full potential.
