Built from real construction & utility experience

Less chasing.
Clearer delivery.
One place to start.

ACD3.ai helps UK construction, civils and utilities SMEs improve operations in 90 days. We identify the biggest bottleneck, pilot one practical fix with your team, then measure the change and hand it over.

A simple path to change

Three stages. A working improvement.

We look across your operation, agree the one workflow that matters most and work through it with the people doing the job. The result is a clearer process your team can actually use.

Stage 01Month one

Audit & assessment

Walk the job from office to site. Review RAMS, plant, reporting and how information is handed between people.

  • Speak to the owner and key team members
  • Map the current workflow and establish a baseline
  • Identify wasted time, risks and quick wins
  • Agree one priority workflow for the pilot
Stage 02Month two

Build & integrate

Put the new way of working into one live project or team. Use existing tools where practical, or introduce a suitable ACD3 product.

  • Set up responsibilities and simple templates
  • Pilot the process in day-to-day work
  • Train the people who will use it
  • Capture issues and refine the setup
Stage 03Month three

Embed & measure

Check adoption against the starting point and make sure the client can own the process after handover.

  • Review usage and team feedback
  • Measure time and cost changes where data exists
  • Hand over guidance and ownership
  • Set a 90-day improvement roadmap
The ACD3 operating model

From bottleneck to a clearer way of working.

Stage one maps the bottleneck and sets the roadmap. Stage two pilots one priority workflow with a team or project, using the right tool where appropriate. Stage three embeds, measures and hands it over. People remain responsible for decisions and site safety.

Stage 01 / Audit, assessment & ROI

Find the cost of the bottleneck.

We speak to leadership and the people doing the work, map the handoffs, establish a time and cost baseline, and rank the issues by impact and effort. The ROI audit tests assumptions; the roadmap names the first workflow, its owner and how success will be measured.

Stage 02 / Project readiness option

UtilityDocs AI

UtilityDocs AI product image with documentation modules and mobile and desktop previewsUtilityDocs AI preview

Keep the information needed to plan, brief, deliver and evidence work easier to find across projects.

  • Project folders, RAMS and risk assessments
  • Compliance records, approvals and site evidence
  • Training and competency matrix
  • Daily diaries, checks and handover records
  • Sustainability information and reporting
Who uses it: Directors and project managers see progress; site managers prepare and review documents; H&S leads check compliance; supervisors and operatives receive the right briefings and record site information within their permissions.
How it helps: Less document chasing, clearer responsibilities and a more traceable project record.
Stage 02 / Plant readiness option

Plant & Equip OS

Plant & Equip OS product image with plant dashboard, asset records, and mobile checksPlant & Equip OS preview

Bring equipment availability and the records around each asset into one operational view.

  • Asset passports, location records and planned movements
  • Dispatch, delivery, collection and handover
  • Daily checks, defects, inspections and maintenance
  • Certificates, operator training and expiry prompts
  • Machine hours, fuel logs and client document packs
Who uses it: Plant and logistics managers plan movements; supervisors check readiness; operators record checks and defects; maintenance teams manage service actions; directors see exceptions and utilisation.
How it helps: Fewer missing records and attachments, faster readiness checks, better planning and a clearer handover between yard, transport and site.
Stage 03 / Embed, measure & hand over

For a planned job, the project team needs approved documents and trained people; the plant team needs the right machine, attachments, inspection status and delivery plan. ACD3 uses the audit roadmap to agree who checks each handoff, reviews adoption against the baseline, and hands over ownership. These applications currently open separately; automatic data syncing is not implied.

Two ways to start

Clear scope. Clear investment.

Start with a focused audit, or go straight into the 90-day programme. We define the exact project and deliverables with you before work begins.

Option 01Assessment

Operational audit & assessment

£5,000

For a business that wants a clear view of what to fix and a practical plan before committing to implementation.

  • Workflow review and stakeholder interviews
  • Baseline and priority opportunities
  • Written findings and 90-day roadmap
  • Readout with the leadership team

Assessment only. Implementation is scoped separately.

What could the time be worth?

Enter a realistic estimate for the hours your team spends chasing or repeating one process. This illustrates potential time value if you achieve the improvement you enter; it is not a promised saving.

01 / Your assumptionsAdjust the figures

Assumes 52 working weeks. Change the figures to match your team; actual savings depend on adoption, workload and whether freed time creates value.

The comparison is simple arithmetic, before VAT, your own internal costs, software fees or any implementation effort. It is not a forecast of cash profit. For a deeper analysis, ask to see the ACD3 ROI Audit in a demo.

The ACD3 toolkit

See each product in a guided demo to understand what it can do for your team. Your programme starts with the business problem; the right system is chosen during assessment. Product visuals illustrate the concepts and may differ from the current applications.

After the first 90 days

Keep the process working as your business changes.

A monthly support retainer gives you a regular review, help with adoption and a practical next set of improvements. It starts after handover if you want ongoing support.

Proposed support packageFrom £750 / month

Scope agreed around your team and systems.

  • Monthly review and improvement call
  • Process and adoption check
  • Small workflow refinements and advice
  • Prioritised next actions

Licences, large rollouts and custom development are separate.

Questions about the programme

Clear answers before we start.

What does ACD3's 90-day operations improvement programme include?

ACD3 assesses the current workflow, pilots one priority improvement with a real team or project, then measures adoption, trains the team and hands over ownership. The work is founder-led and scoped with the client before it begins.

What does the £5,000 operational audit include?

The proposed £5,000 assessment covers a workflow review, stakeholder interviews, a baseline, priority opportunities, written findings and a 90-day roadmap. Implementation is scoped separately.

How is the £8,500 programme paid for?

The proposed £8,500 fee is split into £4,250 on booking, £2,125 when the pilot is ready and £2,125 before final handover. Products, licences and wider rollouts are quoted separately; tax treatment and final scope are confirmed in the proposal.

Which product is used in the pilot?

The assessment identifies the priority workflow. Where appropriate, the pilot may use UtilityDocs AI for project documentation or Plant & Equip OS for plant readiness. ACD3 shows each product in a guided demo before a choice is made.

Do the applications sync automatically?

No. The applications currently open separately; automatic data syncing is not implied. The programme clarifies ownership and handoffs between project and plant teams.

Are the savings shown guaranteed?

No. The on-page calculator estimates the potential value of time freed using figures you enter. Actual results depend on adoption, workload and whether freed time creates value.

Is support available after the first 90 days?

Yes. An optional support retainer starts from £750 per month after handover, with a monthly review, adoption checks, small refinements and prioritised next actions. Final scope is agreed separately.
