Ymir

Putting AI inside construction firms and teaching your team to run it.

Used right, AI can automate most of it.

So your firm can spend more time on important work and less on paperwork.

Ymir

[ee-meer] noun

The frost giant of Norse myth. The gods built the world out of his body: earth from his flesh, sky from his skull, mountains from his bones.

Ymir never built anything himself. He was the material everything else was made from.

That's the business. You're not the giant yet, but you will be. Ymir is the foundation you stand on to become one. The blue stone in our mark is you, holding up your half of the same beam we do.

A worked example

Twelve minutes, one Monday morning.

Monday, 7:40 AMthe inputs
A whiteboard of rooftop deck activities, a text thread with the field superintendent, a forwarded email chain four replies deep about glazing and steel, and two handwritten notes.
Monday, 7:52 AMthe lookahead
An issued three week lookahead: ten activities across three weeks with responsible trades, slipped and held activities flagged, open constraints listed, and manpower by trade.

The inputs were a photograph of a whiteboard, a text thread with the field superintendent, a forwarded mail chain four replies deep, and two notes written by hand. What came back twelve minutes later was an issued three week lookahead: every activity that had moved since last week flagged against last week’s version, the open constraints that are holding the schedule called out by name, and manpower by trade. Nobody retyped anything.

Sample project, not a client document.

What Ymir does

A construction firm produces the same documents every week. Weekly report, photo log, meeting minutes, draw reconciliation. Same shape, same effort, every time. The technology to automate that is not the hard part. The hard part is that nobody installs it inside a firm your size, trains the people who have to use it, and then stays to keep it running.

You were hired to run the job,not to write the report about it.

Start with a call, not a contract.

A walkthrough of how your firm runs today and where automation actually fits. You get a written review afterward, and it costs nothing.

We build it. Your team runs it.

The reports and workflows your firm already produces, automated in your brand, with written procedures so anyone on staff can run them.

A project assistant assembling a change order

Then we train your people on it.

Live sessions, recorded, plus a written operating guide. The work stops being manual and your team stays in control of it.

A client portal
A per-unit turn tracker

Software built for your firm alone.

Client portals, per-unit turn trackers, project dashboards. Built to your requirements, at a scale a firm your size can actually approve.

What the install produces

  • A team that actually knows how to use this.

    Most firms your size still run on email and spreadsheets, and almost nobody in construction uses AI seriously yet. The bar is low, so even modest fluency puts you ahead of nearly every firm you compete with. We teach well past modest fluency, to anyone on your staff willing to sit down and learn it.

  • Templates that turn your notes into a finished document.

    Paste your notes into the chat, choose the template, and in under two minutes the finished document comes back in your own branding, laid out correctly, with every number and name where it belongs. Client ready on the first pass, from a job that used to take hours. The catalog runs past a hundred document types, from owner reports to closeout indexes.

  • Or hand the documents to us instead.

    If you would rather not run it in house, send us the work and it comes back in your typography, your brand, formatted the way your firm formats things. We are good with AI. We are also construction people, and we know when a document looks wrong.

Four things your team can do that they cannot do today.

  • Anything your firm produces on repeat becomes a template your team fills by pasting in their notes.

  • Texts, voice memos, a photo of a handwritten sheet. Whatever actually arrives comes out clean and consistent.

  • What is still open on four, which subs are behind. Answers out of your own documents, in seconds.

  • Closeout, warranties and as-builts, assembled from month one. The worst part of every project goes quiet.

Beyond reports

Some firms need more than documents. We build the software behind them: client portals owners log into, per-unit turn trackers, project dashboards. We have built these systems and they run in production today.

Who you’re actually calling

Jack Irwin, who runs Ymir Intelligence.

Jack

I spent time in New York City at an owner's rep firm, on high-end residential and commercial work. The part nobody warns you about is how much of the week goes to producing documents nobody enjoys producing: the budget, the lookahead, the weekly report, the scope of work, the estimates. Same shape every time. I started using AI on that work for myself, found it handled most of it, and then found that nobody was installing it inside firms our size. So that's what Ymir does. When you call, you get me. I build the tailored AI capabilities, I train your staff, and I pick up the phone six months later when something breaks.
