Your competitors
are already days
ahead of you.
Design-build firms that use TrussNote submit permits faster, win more proposals, and respond to city comments the same day. The ones that don't are still doing it the slow way.

Right now, while your team is building a permit response by hand, a design-build firm running TrussNote already sent theirs.
That gap compounds. Faster submissions mean faster approvals. Faster approvals mean earlier construction starts. Earlier starts mean more capacity for the next project.

The problem
Design-build gives you the competitive edge. Admin work takes it back.
Design-build firms move fast when the work is in front of them. But permits, proposals, city comments, and zoning research still consume 30 to 40 percent of every team's week. That is time your competitors are spending on billable work.
Your competitors submit permits while you are still reviewing
Every day a permit sits in review is a day your project sits still. TrussNote catches code issues before you file, so you go in clean the first time.
City comment responses eat a full day every time
Structured responses to correction letters require cross-referencing code sections, past submittals, and project drawings. TrussNote handles the structure so your team just reviews and sends.
Proposals take a week. You need them in a day.
Design-build firms that respond to RFPs faster close more work. TrussNote generates polished, branded proposals in minutes, not days.
Zoning research costs you half a day per site
FAR calculations, setback requirements, overlay districts, height limits. All buried across different government portals. TrussNote surfaces all of it in 90 seconds.
Your RFIs go back and forth for weeks
Poorly written RFIs create delay loops on every project. TrussNote drafts clear, complete RFIs that get answered in a single round.
Strategy documents nobody reads are still costing you hours
Phasing plans, risk registers, execution roadmaps. They matter, but building them from scratch on every project is time you cannot afford to spend.
The solution
AI that understands what a design-build firm actually delivers.
TrussNote is not a generic AI tool re-skinned for construction. Every feature was built around the specific deliverables a design-build team produces on every single project. Upload what you have. Get something you can send.

Why TrussNote
Not another generic AI wrapper. Built from the ground up for this industry.
AI trained on AEC workflows
Every tool uses AI fine-tuned on construction and architecture deliverables. Output is structured and specific, not generic and vague.
Secure by default
All data encrypted in transit and at rest. US-based infrastructure. Row-level security on every database query.
Results in under 90 seconds
Most tools deliver complete, usable output in under a minute and a half. No more spending half a day on a single deliverable.
Built for the whole firm
Share tools, reports, and projects across every role in your design-build firm. Role-based access keeps the right people in the right places.
Everything exports cleanly
PDF reports, branded proposals, structured data. Download and share directly with clients or the city.
Jurisdiction-aware outputs
Zoning, city comments, and permit tools pull jurisdiction-specific codes and requirements, not generic best guesses.
From the field
Design-build teams that stopped doing things the slow way.
“We run permit reviews on every project before we file now. Our first-submission approval rate went from 60 to 90 percent in one quarter. That alone covers the cost of the platform ten times over.”
James Torrence
Principal, Torrence Design-Build
“We were losing pursuits to firms half our size because they were responding to RFPs faster. TrussNote changed that. We can put a proposal in front of a client within hours of the brief coming in.”
Diana Reyes
Business Development Director, Reyes + Partners
“Every project starts with a zoning check now. What used to take three hours takes five minutes. We catch deal-breakers before we spend money on design, not after.”

Common questions
Things people ask before signing up.
Is this actually built for design-build firms?
Yes. TrussNote was built specifically around the workflow of design-build firms that handle both the design and construction phases in-house. Every tool covers a deliverable your team produces on every project.
What happens after the free trial?
After three days, you choose a plan based on your team size. If you decide not to continue, nothing charges automatically. We do not store payment information until you enter it.
How accurate is the AI output?
Accurate enough to use as a strong first draft in most cases. We recommend a final review before sending to clients or submitting to a city portal. The goal is to cut 80 percent of the time, not replace professional judgment entirely.
Can I connect it to our existing project management tools?
Direct integrations with platforms like Procore and Autodesk are on the roadmap. Today, you export clean PDFs and structured data you can drop into any existing workflow.
Is our project data secure?
Yes. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest. We operate entirely on US-based infrastructure. Your documents are not used to train any AI models.
What if we have more than 10 users?
Enterprise plans support unlimited seats with custom credit allocations per team member. Contact us and we will scope out the right setup for your firm.
