Built for MEP contractors
AI knows a lot. You know your business. It runs on your own drawings, specs, and project history, and what you build into it stays yours. Four applications cover the everyday work:
DoubleCheck
Find answers instantly. Ask anything about a project and get the answer straight from your own drawings, specs, and files — with the source shown.
Compare
Spot changes instantly. Two drawing sets side by side, every difference found, aligned, and summarized. The overlay work that eats an afternoon, done before the coffee is cold.
Reports
Smarter deliverables, built your way. Proposals, pre-bid RFIs, BOMs, and change orders, produced from your project data in the templates you already use.
Agents
Your data. Your workflows. Your agent. AI agents that know your standards and project history work in the background, connected to Procore, Autodesk, Trimble, and the rest of your stack, and hand you the result to approve.
Then you make it yours
Past that it’s yours to shape: your team builds its own agents that hold your standards, and apps built around workflows it already runs. Start with what you already have, build what makes you better.

Your data stays yours, you decide what runs automatically and where a person signs off, and Pelles sits on top of the tools you already run — no migration, no IT project. SOC 2 Type II attested.

What does Pelles AI do for electrical contractors?
Pelles is a Trade Operating System: AI that runs your projects the way your best people would — on your own drawings, specs, and contracts, not on general knowledge. Pelles Core covers the everyday work: DoubleCheck answers questions straight from your documents with the source shown, Compare matches revisions across drawing sets and summarizes every change, Reports produces proposals, pre-bid RFIs, BOMs, and change orders in the templates you already use, and Agents work in the background against your standards. From there your team builds its own apps and agents around the workflows it already runs. Kidwell, a 75-year-old electrical and low voltage contractor, standardized preconstruction on Pelles and cut 70–80% of the time its team spent reviewing plans and specifications.
How is this different from using ChatGPT on a drawing set?
General-purpose assistants have never seen one of your jobs — they don’t know your standards, your history, or your customers, and whatever your team teaches them in a chat doesn’t stick. Pelles runs on your own documents and project history, and what you build into it stays yours: your 500th job runs smarter than your first.
