Every event. Every clause. Caught in time.

Site diaries hold the commercial truth of your project. QS AI Agent finds it before it's buried, giving all parties the evidence to resolve issues while they're still fresh.

When you rely on manual diary review.

Industry analysis shows QSs only identify 60% of legitimate change events during manual reviews. The missing 40% represents massive revenue leakage that directly impacts project profitability.

Manual review reality

  • Junior staff miss subtle commercial implications in routine entries
  • Deadline pressure leads to superficial analysis and the diary pile keeps growing
  • Entries reviewed in isolation, missing cumulative patterns across weeks
  • Notice periods expire before opportunities are discovered

AI-powered analysis

Every entry analysed with partner-level commercial expertise.

  • Real-time processing with no backlog and no Sunday night dread
  • Pattern recognition across weeks and months of records
  • Proactive alerts before deadlines pass

QS AI Agent identifies 40% more change events than manual review.

"We've grown used to two-dimensional site records, thinking of allocation sheets as the end product. I've never seen software that does what Gather can do with site records."

Six capabilities. One intelligent agent.

Every capability connects to your structured site records. The AI reads every diary entry, understands your contract, and surfaces commercial opportunities automatically.

Capability 01

Early Warning Detection

The AI scans every shift record for emerging risks that could affect time, cost, or quality. Late deliveries, resource constraints, access issues: it spots the warning signs before they escalate into claims.

Contracts supported:

  • NEC3
  • NEC4
  • JCT
  • FIDIC

Why it matters:

Under NEC4, early warnings are contractually required. The AI identifies situations that need flagging, links them to the right clause, and recommends when to issue a formal notice, protecting your programme and your entitlements.

Summary

  • Change Events
  • Progress
  • Issues & Risks

Subcontractor Resource Shortage

  • Early Warning

Client Material Delays

  • Early Warning

Description
The client-supplied control room fixtures weren't ready for collection as scheduled. This is holding up the M&E installation.

Event Type (under NEC4)

  • 60.1(2) / 60.1(5)
  • Failure by the Employer to provide materials

Contract Implications

  • Time Impact
    Potential 4-day delay to M&E final fix programme if not resolved this week.

  • Cost Impact
    Potential standing time costs for the M&E subcontractor.

QS Commercial Actions

  • Contractual Notice Status: Early Warning
  • Recommendation: Keep chasing the client for a delivery date. If the delay continues, notify this as a Compensation Event. Track all related costs.

Capability 02

Compensation Event Detection

The AI reviews every diary entry against your contract terms, automatically identifying events that trigger compensation clauses. Changes and delays like changed instructions, late information, and access restrictions: nothing slips through.

Why it matters:

Your site team sees "revised drainage layout" and files it away. The AI recognises it as a change to the Works Information under clause 60.1(1), calculates the impact, and tells you exactly what to do next. No more missed entitlements.

Change to Works Information – Drainage Revision

  • Compensation Event

Description
Received AI-101 revising the Sector-C foul water drainage. This moves 2 manholes and adds 25m of pipework.

Event Type (under NEC4)

  • 60.1(1)

Contract Implications

  • Time Impact
    Adds 1.5 days to the drainage programme. No impact to critical path.

  • Cost Impact
    Cost of extra materials, labour, and plant to be calculated.

QS Commercial Actions

  • Contractual Notice Status: Compensation Event
  • Recommendation: Acknowledge the instruction. Prepare and submit a detailed quotation for the change within the contractual timeframe.

Capability 03

Pattern Recognition

The AI connects dots that humans miss. Weather delays accumulating beyond contract thresholds, productivity dropping week after week, plant breakdowns clustering around the same equipment. It sees trends forming across months of records that would take days to spot manually.

Why it matters:

Reviewing entries in isolation misses the bigger story. The AI maintains perfect memory across your entire project history, surfacing cumulative impacts that would take hours of spreadsheet analysis to uncover.

Productivity dropped 30% since access change in Zone B. Cumulative delay now exceeds compensation threshold.

Capability 04

Contract Intelligence

Deep understanding of NEC3, NEC4, JCT, and FIDIC contracts built in from day one. The AI automatically maps site events to relevant clauses, identifies the correct evaluation methods, and tells you exactly what documentation you need to support your position.

Why it matters:

Most site staff don't have comprehensive contract expertise. The AI brings partner-level knowledge to every diary entry, ensuring nothing is missed and every entitlement is properly identified.

Contract Intelligence

  • Active

Site Event Detected

  • SR-047
    "Client materials not delivered. M&E installation on hold pending fixture arrival."

Clause Mapping

  • 60.1(5)
    Employer fails to provide materials, facilities, or samples for tests.

Evaluation Method

  • 63.1
    Assess using Defined Cost plus Fee. Include standing time and disruption.

Documentation Required

  • Daily records of affected resources, programme impact assessment, correspondence confirming delivery failure, subcontractor standing time sheets.

Capability 05

Construction Methodology

The AI understands how construction actually works. It recognises the cascade of consequences from altered sequences and disruptions, calculating the true cost of disruption, not just the obvious one.

Construction Methodology

  • Active

Impact Analysis

  • Cascade
Primary Event
  • Piling Sequence Change (Area C before B)
  • Knock on 1: Crane Mob £5,400
  • Knock on 2: Steel Erectors £12,000 - Stand down 2 days waiting for crane repositioning.
  • Knock on 3: Programme Impact £3,600 - Cladding start delayed, preliminaries extended.

Total Impact
£21,000

Capability 06

Actionable Outputs

The AI doesn't just identify opportunities. It generates specific, actionable recommendations. Every insight comes with a confidence score and a clear next step.

Why it matters:

Identification is only half the battle. The AI provides confidence-scored recommendations and clear action plans, so your team knows exactly what to do and how urgently to do it.
