DDocument Crunch

Document Crunch has been used on more than 10,000 construction projects by over 500 general contractors and construction managers, and in April 2026 Trimble agreed to buy it. The Atlanta company, founded in 2019, uses AI trained on construction language to read contracts and project documents and flag risks before they turn into claims.

Balfour Beatty, Barton Malow and DPR Construction are among the firms that have used it.

How It Works

The original product reviews contracts and highlights critical risk provisions: payment terms that could lead to disputes, notice requirements that are easy to miss and specification clauses a contractor may not be able to meet. It also catches smaller but costly errors, such as a wrong retention amount on a pay application or a lien waiver naming the wrong entity.

In June 2026 the company added Project Assist, an agentic layer that works across a whole project rather than one document. It reads contracts, specifications and other files together, which can expose risks that only appear when documents are compared. Teams can ask complex questions in a chat window, and the agent identifies scope gaps and drafts deliverables such as redlines and submittals. The company says it serves projects worth more than $350 billion in annual construction volume and that early users cut contract review time by 80%. Document Crunch already connects to Trimble’s ProjectSight, and Trimble plans to make it the risk layer across Trimble Construction One and Trimble Connect.

Pricing

Document Crunch does not publish pricing. Contracts are sold through demos, and after the acquisition, packaging is likely to follow Trimble’s suite. Ask whether pricing is per user, per project or tied to construction volume.

What to Watch Out For

Project Assist is available only in the United States and Canada. The acquisition means future features will lean toward Trimble’s ecosystem, so firms built around other project management platforms should ask about long-term support. The agent drafts redlines and flags risk, but attorneys and project managers still need to check its work before anything is signed. Ask how the models handle owner-specific contract forms that differ from standard industry templates.
