AI for site questions
Site Assistant helps builders, site managers, designers and developers work through UK building standards, warranty requirements, manufacturer guidance and compliance questions.
Why this exists
Site Assistant is being built to turn that scattered information into practical, cited answers. Not a replacement for professional judgement, but a faster way to find the right source, understand the requirement and spot the next thing to check.
What it should help with
Approved Documents, practical requirements and common site interpretations.
Warranty-provider standards and the details that often sit beyond building control.
Installation instructions, system-specific requirements and product limitations.
Plain-English explanations for site teams when a detail needs checking quickly.
New-home quality, ombudsman expectations and customer-facing obligations.
Answers that link back to source sections, not unsupported chatbot confidence.
The principle
The product direction is deliberately source-led. The assistant should explain what it has found, highlight uncertainty and cite the underlying documents clearly enough that a site manager, designer or inspector can check the basis of the answer.
