Trunk Tools

The firm fields five named AI agents. TrunkText answers field questions sourced from project documents in under 30 seconds. TrunkSubmittal reviews submittals against specs and RFIs, catching discrepancies automatically. TrunkReview scans drawing revisions and visually flags every change, including unclouded ones. TrunkBid analyzes subcontractor proposals for gaps, exclusions, and scope silence. TrunkRFI eliminates duplicate RFIs and drafts necessary ones back into the project management system.

The firm publishes a dedicated ‘Data Security and Privacy’ FAQ on its website, signaling that enterprise general contractors and owners require contractual review of data handling. Trunk Tools processes clients’ proprietary specs, drawings, and RFIs — meaning its deployment likely includes tenant-isolated architectures and SOC 2-style controls, though specific audit certifications are not publicly detailed.

Trunk Tools lists live integrations with Procore and Autodesk (including Autodesk Forma), as well as SharePoint, Box, Dropbox, and Egnyte. Submittal-register output can be published directly back to Procore or Autodesk, fitting into the same systems field teams already operate.

Every agent — from TrunkText to TrunkBid — is built on construction-specific document classes: specs, RFIs, submittals, drawing bulletins, and trade packages. The founder’s background in carpentry, general contracting, and a PhD in civil engineering and data science shapes the product; the firm explicitly positions itself as construction-native rather than a generic AI layer.

The firm states that TrunkReview reduces manual drawing-review time by 70–85% and prevents a rework event exceeding $10,000 in at least one out of every five reviews. TrunkBid is described as saving 4–8 hours per trade-package review.
