Can Bildstak read my contract PDFs and documents?

Construction contracts, specifications, correspondence and instructions are some of the most important records on a project — and they are also the hardest to query alongside structured data like schedule or cost. Bildstak addresses this by indexing document libraries as one of its federation sources.

What Bildstak can read and index: - Contract PDFs (main contract, subcontracts, specifications, appendices) - Correspondence files (letters, instructions, notices) - RFIs and submittals (from Procore or Aconex, or as document files) - Drawing registers and technical specifications - Any folder of PDF, Word or other document files

What you can do with them: Once indexed, contract documents become queryable alongside structured data. You can ask: - 'What clause entitles the contractor to an extension of time for late access?' - 'Find all instructions issued after the programme revision date.' - 'Which specification sections reference fire-rating requirements for Level 3 elements?'

Answers cite the document, section and page — so you can verify directly.

For claims, this is particularly valuable. The Claims Builder uses indexed contract documents as the clause source in the entitlement chain: cause (from the RFI log) → programme impact (from P6) → entitlement clause (from the indexed contract PDF) → quantum (from the cost ledger) → cited PDF output. The contract becomes part of the evidence chain, not a separate manual lookup.
