Construction company on site

Every day, hundreds of construction professionals lose valuable hours to scattered spreadsheets, conflicting budget versions, and reports that reach management too late. CoPres exists to change that.

What is CoPres?

CoPres is an intelligent, 100% cloud-based software platform designed specifically for construction companies. Its purpose is to centralize all technical and administrative work on a project—from the first budget through financial close—in a single collaborative environment, accessible from any device with no installation required.

Founded in 2013 and headquartered in Bogotá, Colombia, CoPres has evolved into what is now known as The AI for Construction: a platform that integrates artificial intelligence directly into the daily workflow of estimators, site managers, and construction company executives.

In simple terms: CoPres helps your team bid faster, purchase with more control, pay labor without errors, and make management decisions with real, up-to-date information—all from one place.

The problem it solves

The construction industry still relies largely on isolated spreadsheets, files sent by email, and data that is not updated in real time. This leads to concrete consequences that affect the profitability of every project:

  • Budgets with formula errors or outdated versions sent to the client by mistake.
  • Purchases made without cross-checking against the approved budget, creating invisible cost overruns.
  • Managers making decisions with information that is weeks old, not from today.
  • Technical teams spending hours on repetitive data entry instead of technical analysis.
  • No traceability: no one knows who changed a unit rate, when a supply price changed, or which budget version was signed.

The solution: a complete platform with AI

CoPres connects every critical moment of a construction project in one system, from bidding through delivery. Below are the modules that make up the platform:

AI-powered budgeting

Create budgets structured by chapters and activities in minutes. AI generates drafts from a project description, imports Excel and PDF with intelligent recognition, and suggests line items based on similar projects. Your team validates and adjusts; the system eliminates repetitive data entry.

AI unit-rate library

Generate detailed unit-price analyses—materials, labor, and equipment—adapted to the region and project type. AI proposes the initial breakdown; you confirm productivity rates and quotes. Unit rates are stored in the library for reuse in future bids.

Supplies and catalog

Manage a master catalog of materials with updated prices, linked to budgets and unit rates across all your projects. When steel or cement prices change, the impact is reflected immediately in calculations.

Construction scheduling

Plan the activity schedule and track physical progress on site. Compare planned vs. executed work and detect deviations before they affect delivery.

Purchase control

Centralize purchase orders and compare every acquisition against the approved budget. Know in real time how much material has arrived on site, how much has been consumed, and how much remains available.

Labor

Manage contract milestones, field staff payments, and site payroll with full traceability. Eliminate manual timesheets and reduce errors in settlements.

Real-time management

Managers and executives access dashboards with key indicators: actual vs. budgeted cost, physical progress, cash flow, and project status. Information to decide—not to decipher.

Field log

Record daily progress, updates, photos, and technical notes with chronological traceability. A complete history available for audits, claims, or client reviews.

Shared library

Build catalogs of activities and supplies reusable across projects. What works on one job becomes available for all others, standardizing your company's technical quality.

Multi-user and roles

Manage multiple projects and teams simultaneously with role-based access: administrator, site manager, estimator, purchasing, read-only. Each person sees and edits only what applies to them.

Artificial intelligence at the heart of CoPres

What AI does

  • Generates budget drafts from a text description or project brief.
  • Imports and recognizes the structure of Excel spreadsheets and scanned bid PDFs.
  • Generates unit rates with materials, labor, and equipment adapted to region and project type.
  • Suggests supplies and market-oriented local prices as a starting point.
  • Detects inconsistencies between quantities, units, and descriptions.

What your team always does

  • Validates quantities against drawings and takeoffs for the specific project.
  • Confirms unit prices with quotes from regular suppliers.
  • Adjusts productivity rates, commercial margins, and taxes per company strategy.
  • Approves the final budget before submitting the bid.
  • Maintains technical judgment and professional responsibility for every proposal.

On bids with extensive spreadsheets, CoPres can reduce initial data-entry time by 60% to 80%, freeing hours for technical review, price adjustment, and commercial negotiation.

Who is CoPres for?

  • All types of construction companies—from large corporations to small businesses—with multiple active projects in parallel that need centralized visibility.
  • Estimating teams competing in multiple bids at once who need to move faster without sacrificing technical quality.
  • Companies bidding on public or private tenders with strict formats and tight deadlines.
  • Site managers who must report progress and cost to management regularly and reliably.
  • Managers and partners who want decisions based on real data, not reports from two weeks ago.
  • Technical teams tired of maintaining dozens of scattered Excel files with no one knowing which version is correct.
