Field-First AI Solution Designed to Streamline Operations, Enhance Efficiency and Boost Productivity

NEW YORK, Sept. 10, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Gilbane Building Company and Trunk Tools are excited to announce the first national rollout of Trunk Tools' field-first AI solution TrunkText. Gilbane, a leading global construction manager, has signed on to expand across the U.S. and will scale the platform beginning with ten projects representing its diverse market sector portfolio including healthcare, commercial, sports & entertainment, and institutional projects. This partnership represents a significant opportunity to streamline operations, enhance efficiency, and boost productivity for Gilbane.

"TrunkText's ability to provide instant access to critical project information offers a real opportunity to enhance productivity and project execution," states Karen Higgins-Carter, Gilbane's Chief Information and Digital Officer. "We partnered with Trunk Tools for its innovative approach to document management and productivity enhancement. We believe AI can transform our operations by refocusing our teams' work on higher value, more strategic tasks."

"We're beyond excited to continue our collaboration with Gilbane," says Dr. Sarah Buchner, Founder & CEO of Trunk Tools. "This partnership highlights our mutual commitment to augmenting construction workers with tools that make them more productive, reduce rework by 65% and deliver exceptional value to our clients."

Trunk Tools built the brain behind the $13 trillion construction industry, leveraging AI to structure mountains of unstructured data, automate workflows, and augment worker productivity. This brain powers an army of AI-based agents: From identifying data discrepancies to tracking schedule misses automatically, Trunk Tools' AI workflows are augmenting construction professionals' intelligence and productivity.Its flagship AI agent, TrunkText, allows field workers to ask questions about their project documents, receiving answers and supporting documentation in seconds.

The construction industry faces challenges with information management and productivity, costing the industry $~845B annually from data inconsistencies. Construction data is notoriously convoluted due to the large number of stakeholders and the intricacies of building designs; an average skyscraper project has over 3 million pages of unstructured data. The Trunk Tools and Gilbane partnership provides the company with a solution that optimizes document retrieval and management, ensuring projects stay on schedule and within budget, and relieving stress and pressure from on-site personnel.

Andy Roy, a Gilbane Building Company senior superintendent who has leveraged Trunk Tools since 2023 on a large, complex construction project states: "Trunk Tools showed that it can help our teams increase efficiency and save significant time by preventing rework. With TrunkText doing the 'document digging' for me, I can work more effectively and be more responsive in the field."
