Provision

What is Provision?

Provision is an AI tool built for cost estimators and legal teams in the construction industry. It speeds up construction document review by spotting key risks and extracting critical information automatically. Using automated checklists, it helps accelerate contract reviews, lower risk, and keep projects on track — acting as a co-pilot that guides you through complex documents and flags potential problems. Provision is SOC2 certified, supporting accuracy and data security, and it integrates into daily workflows for project management and legal risk assessment.

Who created Provision?

Provision was co-founded by Luigi La Corte and Brendan Ardagh. Luigi, the CEO, was previously a Director at Plenary Americas, where he focused on investing in large infrastructure projects, and studied civil engineering at the University of Toronto. Brendan, the CTO, co-founded several startups in South Africa before moving into software development. The company’s goal is to make it easier to find and address risks in construction projects using AI-driven automated checklists and instant risk identification.
