Empowering project planners with the intelligence they were always missing.

ConstructMind didn't come from a technology lab. It came from 15 years of project controls practice — from someone who has run schedule reviews, written bases of schedule, sat across the table from clients in dispute meetings, and wished, more than once, that there was something better.

Why I built ConstructMind.

I've spent 15 years in project controls.

Infrastructure, energy, building construction. Projects across multiple continents, programmes worth billions, teams of one and teams of forty. I've been the planner writing the schedule at midnight before the baseline is due, and the consultant brought in six months later to explain how a project that looked on track fell apart.

I've sat in rooms where a contractor submitted a programme and nobody not the client, not the engineer, not the planner had the time or the tools to properly review it. I've written bases of schedule after the fact because there was no structured way to document assumptions as they were made. I've watched planners spend three weeks collecting data for a schedule that could have been built in three days if the information had been structured from the start.

These aren't edge cases. They're the normal state of project controls on most projects.

ConstructMind is what I wished I had. Not a tool that replaces planners, I've spent my career as one. But a tool that handles the work planners shouldn't have to do manually, so the people who understand construction programmes can spend their time on the analysis and decisions that actually matter.

That's why I built it. That's why Coco exists. And that's why every feature in the product has been tested against a real project scenario because I've been in those scenarios

Project controls has a data problem. It always has.

Construction is one of the most data-intensive industries in the world. Every project generates thousands of data points quantities, productivity rates, logic relationships, milestone dependencies, resource constraints that need to be synthesised into a coherent schedule.

The tools to do that synthesis have barely changed in thirty years. Planners still spend the majority of their time collecting and formatting data not analysing it. Bases of schedule are still written after the fact, or not at all. Contractor submissions are still reviewed under time pressure that makes proper scrutiny practically impossible.

The result is that project schedules even well-intentioned ones are less defensible, less accurate, and less useful than they should be. Not because planners aren't skilled enough. Because the tools haven't kept up with what the role actually requires

The planning profession deserves better tools. Not tools that replace planners - tools that let planners be better at what only planners can do.

Meet Coco.

Coco is ConstructMind's AI project intelligence agent.

Coco was designed to be the first member of your planning team who never misses a logic gap, never forgets a productivity rate, and never runs out of time to review a contractor submission.

Coco lives inside your ConstructMind workspace alongside your Gantt chart and your documents. Coco reviews your schedule, gives you an honest quality score, and tells you exactly what to fix before you baseline.

Coco's not a chatbot. Coco doesn't just answer questions. Coco has a point of view formed from the same construction scheduling standards that experienced planners use and Coco shares it clearly, with references

Coco doesn't think like a planner. Coco thinks faster

But Coco was built by one

Our mission.

To give every construction planner the intelligence, the documentation, and the time to do the work that only they can do.

ConstructMind exists to close the gap between what project controls professionals are capable of and what the tools currently available allow them to do. We're not here to automate the planning profession. We're here to make it better.

The best planners we've worked with and between us, Girish has worked with hundreds spend most of their time on tasks that don't require their expertise. Data collection. Formatting. Reformatting. Responding to review comments on schedules that were built correctly but can't be defended because the documentation isn't there.

ConstructMind gives those hours back. And Coco makes sure the output is worth standing behind.

What we believe about
construction planning.

Planners are the most undervalued people on a project

Project controls professionals carry more risk, produce more value, and receive less recognition than almost anyone else involved in delivery. ConstructMind is built to change that not by making planners unnecessary, but by making everything they produce more visible, more defensible, and more impactful.

A schedule without a basis is just a picture of hope.

The most important thing a schedule can be is defensible.
Not just accurate defensible. That means documented assumptions, traceable durations, and an audit trail that holds up when someone asks a hard question six months later. Every ConstructMind output is built on this principle.

AI should explain itself

Planners are sceptical of tools that produce outputs they can't verify. Coco doesn't just give answers she gives references. Every recommendation comes with a reason. Every finding comes with an activity-level detail. If Coco can't explain it, she doesn't say it.

The best tool is the one that fits your workflow

ConstructMind doesn't ask you to abandon Primavera P6. It reads XER files and exports XER files. It works within the scheduling standards you already know. The goal is to make your existing process better not to replace it with something that requires retraining everyone and rebuilding everything.

Built in the field.
Tested on real projects.

ConstructMind grew out of Compass Consult Girish's project controls consultancy where every feature was tested against a real client scenario before it made it into the product.

The challenges ConstructMind solves are the challenges Compass Consult has been solving manually for years: building defensible baselines under time pressure, reviewing contractor submissions with limited resource, producing quality-scored programmes for governance teams that need documented evidence, not just a Gantt chart.

ConstructMind is the tool that came from doing that work not from theorising about it.

Compass Consult

Project controls consultancy with 15+ years of practice across infrastructure, energy, and building construction.

ConstructMind in the project controls community.

We build for planners because we are planners. That means showing up where planners do at industry events, in conversations about the profession, and in the ongoing debate about what better project controls actually looks like.

April 2026

Project Controls Summit, Texas

Girish Bhatia presented ConstructMind at the Project Controls Summit in San Antonio, Texas the first major public presentation of the platform to a specialist project controls audience. The session focused on AI-assisted schedule generation and what defensibility means in an AI-assisted planning workflow.
