A Letter from our CEO, Paul Andrus

Every great idea has a humble beginning, and buildcoreAI’s story is no different. It started at a kitchen table—born from frustration, ambition, and a shared vision to revolutionize an industry.

After years of navigating the complexities of steel estimation, I found myself at a breaking point. The long hours, relentless deadlines, and inefficient tools left me disillusioned. I wasn’t just tired; I was ready to walk away from the field I had poured my heart into. Then, one pivotal evening, I found myself venting to my longtime friend and trusted advisor, Lora Evans, at my kitchen table.

Lora listened carefully as I shared my struggles. Her advice was simple yet transformative: “Use the latest technology to automate your job. You deserve to work smarter, not harder.” Her words struck a chord, awakening a vision I had been quietly harboring—a smarter, faster, and more human-centered way to tackle estimation.

That’s when she said the magic words: “I’ll help you.”

From that moment, buildcoreAI began to take shape. While I focused on turning my experience into a functional prototype, Lora rallied the support we needed to turn the dream into reality. She secured critical resources and brought together a team of like-minded innovators. She brought in her longtime friend, Eugene, now our CTO, who has taken my prototype and started building a software platform that pushes the boundaries of what’s possible for estimators.

Today, buildcoreAI exists because we understand the challenges you face. We’ve walked in your shoes, stayed late at the office, and missed family dinners. We know what it’s like to be buried under documents and spreadsheets, desperately trying to keep up with the demands of your job.

Our mission is simple: to give you back your time. buildcoreAI empowers estimators to work more efficiently, freeing up hours each week to focus on what truly matters—growing your business, forging relationships within the construction industry, and spending quality time with loved ones.

We built this software for you, not just to make your workflow faster and more accurate but to give you the freedom to thrive. With buildcoreAI you can bid on more jobs, increase profitability, and take control of your work-life balance.

This is more than just software. It’s a new way forward for the industry—a tool designed by estimators, for estimators. buildcoreAI is your partner in success, your ally in growth, and your key to a more balanced and fulfilling career.

Welcome to the next generation of estimation. Welcome to buildcoreAI.

Sincerely,

Paul Andrus, CEO
