Every construction project is a team effort, with multiple subcontractors bringing their expertise to the table. Each subcontractor comes with unique insurance requirements that need tracking and verifying, often creating an administrative challenge for contractors. Whether you’re managing certificates of insurance through spreadsheets, existing software solutions, or a mix of both, there’s a smarter way to handle this process — one that strengthens subcontractor relationships while simplifying insurance management.
Imagine if managing COIs could be more than just a checkbox exercise. The construction industry has already embraced AI to revolutionize project management, procurement, communication, and risk management. Now, AI is bringing that same power to certificate management, transforming compliance workflows and enhancing collaboration.
AI-powered certificate of insurance management goes beyond compliance. It supports safety, strengthens finances, mitigates risks, and keeps schedules on track. When contractors and subcontractors align on compliance readiness and requirements, it reduces friction and builds trust across every department.
Forward-thinking construction teams are discovering the potential of this technology. They’re using it to create seamless workflows and build partnerships with subcontractors that fuel project success. By helping teams meet each other halfway with clarity, knowledge and precision, AI is changing the game for collaboration.
The Impact of AI Innovation in Construction
Construction projects are complex ecosystems, requiring careful alignment across documents, teams, and goals. Managing insurance verifications within this landscape can feel like chasing a moving target. That’s where AI becomes not just a tool but a problem-solver, delivering accuracy and simplicity at scale.
When Kiewit Corporation introduced its Predictive Estimating Tool, it revealed a powerful truth about AI: technology can be a genuine problem-solving partner. Their AI solution outperformed traditional methods 64% of the time, demonstrating how intelligent systems can dramatically reduce work hours, optimize staffing, and streamline complex processes. Now, envision bringing that same level of impact to insurance verification and compliance.
The numbers back AI’s rise in construction, expanding from $1.76 billion in 2024 to a projected $2.29 billion in 2025. General AI tools can read documents, but specialized AI solutions go deeper. They understand the industry’s unique needs — like insurance endorsements and policy limits — to deliver faster, more accurate insights.
Success with AI doesn’t just revolve around adopting the technology. It’s about using soluti
