Construction AI Plugins — Claude + Codex + Perplexity + Manus

The first downloadable AI plugins built for construction professionals. Draft RFIs, daily logs, change orders, estimates, and safety docs in under two minutes.

A PM handling 5 RFIs/week spends 2-3 hours on responses alone. A superintendent writing daily logs burns 45 minutes every day. These plugins cut that to seconds — and if you use Claude, the Procore MCP server connects directly to your live project data.

What's Inside

Plugin	What It Does	Best For
RFI Response System	Parses any RFI, validates technical claims, references CSI spec sections and drawing numbers, drafts a contract-ready formal response with cost/schedule impact flags.	Project managers and superintendents handling 5+ RFIs/week
Daily Log Reporter	Turns rough field notes into a 10-section professional daily report. Catches near-misses buried in casual language and generates weekly owner summaries from 5 daily logs.	Superintendents on active job sites
Estimating Assistant	Completeness-scores any estimate, identifies missing line items with cost ranges, benchmarks $/SF against market data, and proposes value engineering options with specific savings.	Estimators reviewing takeoffs before submission
Change Order Manager	Generates a complete CO document with itemized labor/material/equipment breakdown, OH&P markups, schedule impact analysis, and running contract total.	PMs and GCs managing scope changes
Safety Compliance	Produces OSHA-compliant toolbox talks, JSAs, incident reports with 5 Whys root cause analysis, and recordability determinations per 29 CFR 1904.7.	Safety managers and superintendents

Quick Start

Claude Code (recommended)

# Clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/PAMF2/construction-ai-plugins.git

# Install as a Claude Code plugin
claude plugin install ./construction-ai-plugins

Skills auto-register. Type /rfi-response, /daily-log, /estimate-review, /change-order, or /safety-doc in any Claude Code session.

Claude (claude.ai)

1. Open claude.ai and create a new Project
2. Copy the system prompt from plugins/<plugin-name>/claude/system-prompt.md into Project instructions
3. Upload knowledge files from plugins/<plugin-name>/claude/knowledge/
4. Start the conversation — the AI is now a trained construction specialist

ChatGPT / Codex

1. Go to chat.openai.com > Explore GPTs > Create
2. Paste the contents of plugins/<plugin-name>/codex/instructions.md into the instructions field
3. Upload knowledge files from plugins/<plugin-name>/codex/knowledge/
4. Save and use

Perplexity

1. Open Perplexity and go to Spaces
2. Create a new Space for the plugin
3. Paste the system prompt from plugins/<plugin-name>/claude/system-prompt.md as the Space instructions
4. Start a conversation — Perplexity will apply the prompt across all searches in that Space

Manus

1. Open Manus and create a new agent
2. Paste the system prompt from plugins/<plugin-name>/claude/system-prompt.md as agent instructions
3. Upload knowledge files as agent context
4. Deploy for autonomous construction document generation
