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 |
Platforms
Works as a downloadable plugin for:
- Claude Code — Full MCP server integration + Claude Code skills (auto-invoked commands)
- ChatGPT / Codex — Custom GPT with knowledge files and conversation starters
- Perplexity — Space instructions with search-optimized prompts
- Manus — Autonomous agent instructions
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)
- Open claude.ai and create a new Project
- Copy the system prompt from
plugins/<plugin-name>/claude/system-prompt.md into Project instructions
- Upload knowledge files from
plugins/<plugin-name>/claude/knowledge/
- Start the conversation — the AI is now a trained construction specialist
ChatGPT / Codex
- Go to chat.openai.com > Explore GPTs > Create
- Paste the contents of
plugins/<plugin-name>/codex/instructions.md into the instructions field
- Upload knowledge files from
plugins/<plugin-name>/codex/knowledge/
- Save and use
Perplexity
- Open Perplexity and go to Spaces
- Create a new Space for the plugin
- Paste the system prompt from
plugins/<plugin-name>/claude/system-prompt.md as the Space instructions
- Start a conversation — Perplexity will apply the prompt across all searches in that Space
Manus
- Open Manus and create a new agent
- Paste the system prompt from
plugins/<plugin-name>/claude/system-prompt.md as agent instructions
- Upload knowledge files as agent context
- Deploy for autonomous construction document generation
MCP Server — Procore
Connect Claude directly to your Procore account. Pull live RFIs, submit responses, create daily logs, manage change orders, and log safety observations without leaving the conversation.
15 tools, 2 prompts.
