## Quick answer

AIA and ConsensusDocs contracts usually keep drawings and specifications with the owner or architect, so they are not yours to license.

## What construction company records AI buyers want

Procore-style histories with RFIs, submittals and change orders capture how site problems get solved, which buyers struggle to find anywhere else.

Mercor runs a listing for construction companies; Handshake AI names hardware and engineering.
