Built for the team running the job, not the lawyers

The deadlines and notices you can't afford to miss.

Missed notices and undocumented changes are where contractors lose money. Upload your signed contract and get a short operating brief: the off-market risks, a deadline calendar you can load into Outlook, and the moves each role owns, every one linked to the contract section it came from.

Instead of forcing your team to dig through the contract after a problem hits, BuildPlaybook pulls forward the deadlines, notice triggers, and role-specific actions that matter most, so the project team can use them at kickoff and throughout the job.

Built for kickoff. Re-runs for the same project can add missing incorporated documents and update the controls.

The contract is where the project rules live.
BuildPlaybook turns those rules into actions, deadlines, and controls.

Built for the kickoff meeting, the pay-app cycle, the change fight, the delay notice, and closeout, the moments where contract administration actually matters.

Built on real construction experience

Built by people who have run the jobs.

The prompts behind every Playbook were developed with senior professionals across multiple construction disciplines, including estimators, project executives, and operations leaders from ENR Top 100 firms, with decades of combined experience delivering billions of dollars of construction. The result reflects how contracts are actually administered in the field, not theory.

Project controls

The output is built around the risks that cost money.

BuildPlaybook does not just explain the contract. It turns the contract into a practical control system for the project team: what to calendar, what to document, what to send, who owns it, and where the source language lives.

01 / Notice control

Notice & Claims Calendar

Pulls every hard deadline, triggering event, required recipient, required form, consequence, and source section into one calendar-ready view.

02 / Change control

Change Order Workflow

Shows when written authorization is required, what backup must be kept, who must approve, and what happens if work starts before paperwork catches up.

03 / Cash control

Payment Rules Engine

Organizes billing dates, retainage, lien waivers, stored-material rules, conditional payment language, final payment requirements, and cash-flow traps.

Before / after

Contracts do not manage themselves.

Before BuildPlaybook

  • PMs rely on memory, prior forms, or whoever read the contract once.
  • Notice rules are buried in the agreement, general conditions, and exhibits.
  • Change-order steps get reconstructed after the fight starts.
  • Payment and lien-waiver requirements are found only when cash is delayed.
  • Legal gets called after leverage has already been lost.

After BuildPlaybook

  • The kickoff team gets a source-linked playbook organized by project function.
  • Notice and claim deadlines are pulled forward before waiver becomes an issue.
  • Change, payment, schedule, and closeout workflows are easy to follow.
  • Missing incorporated documents and ambiguous provisions are flagged clearly.
  • Project, accounting, executive, and legal teams work from the same map.
Why BuildPlaybook is different

Not generic AI. Construction contract controls.

Generic AI can summarize language. BuildPlaybook is structured to extract obligations, workflows, deadlines, missing documents, and source-linked actions that keep the project team inside the contract.

One broad prompt is not enough. Construction risk is usually buried in the interaction between provisions: a notice deadline tied to a change procedure, a pay-application rule tied to lien-waiver language, a schedule obligation tied to delay damages, or an incorporated document that quietly changes the deal.

Each BuildPlaybook review runs multiple construction-specific analyses in parallel, not a single generic summary. The system separately examines payment rules, notice requirements, change procedures, claims steps, subcontractor relations and flow-down obligations, incorporated documents, closeout obligations, insurance provisions, indemnity language, schedule exposure, and legal-review items.

The review logic is built around how projects actually run. Contracts are reorganized by operational function so owners, developers, project managers, contract administrators, and counsel can find the rules they need before the issue becomes a job problem.

Generic AI

Summarizes what the contract says.

Useful, but uneven when the contract is long, heavily amended, or dependent on incorporated documents.

BuildPlaybook

Maps what the project team must do.

Extracts obligations, deadlines, workflows, leverage points, missing documents, and review issues into a usable Playbook.

Construction-specific

Built around project risk.

Targets payment, changes, claims, notices, delays, insurance, indemnity, closeout, warranty, dispute resolution, and form-specific issues.

What you get

One Playbook, three working views.

Executives need the commercial picture. PMs need the action list. Contract administrators and counsel need the source language. BuildPlaybook gives each group the same contract intelligence in the form they can use.

01 / Brief

Operating Brief

The first screen gives the project team the handful of off-market risks, hard deadlines, and role-owned moves that matter most before the kickoff meeting.

02 / Calendar

Notice and Claims Calendar

The clock is pulled out of the contract and made usable: day-count triggers, consequences for missing them, and an Outlook-ready calendar export.

03 / Ask

Contract Compass

The long reference stays available without making the PM read it. Ask questions, jump to source language, and verify the section behind each recommendation.

Contract Compass

Common questions

Questions we hear often.

Answers to the questions construction professionals ask before running their first Playbook.

What does BuildPlaybook do?

It reads your signed contract and gives back a short operating brief tuned to your role: the deadlines, notices, and moves your team has to get right. Each finding tells the team what to do, by when, who owns it, and what happens if it's missed. Every finding cites the contract section it came from.

Who is BuildPlaybook for?

Project managers, superintendents, project executives, and office administrators on the contractor, subcontractor, or owner side. The analysis is tuned to the party you represent. A finding directed at the contractor reads differently than the same finding directed at the owner. BuildPlaybook is built for the people running the job, not the lawyers.

Does BuildPlaybook give legal advice?

No. BuildPlaybook produces operational guidance for the project team, not legal advice. It does not opine on whether clauses are enforceable, interpret statutes, or substitute for a licensed attorney. Provisions that involve legal questions are flagged separately in an Items for Legal Review section, with the recommendation to consult a licensed attorney in the governing jurisdiction.

What contract types can I analyze?

BuildPlaybook handles AIA contracts (A201 General Conditions, A101, A102, A132, A133, A141, and related family), ConsensusDocs forms (200, 500, 750, etc.), EPC contracts, design-build agreements, CM-at-risk contracts, subcontracts of any form, supply agreements, and custom contracts. Both signed contracts and unsigned templates or drafts are accepted.

How long does the analysis take?

About 3 to 5 minutes for a typical contract. Longer documents or stacks of related documents (operative agreement plus exhibits plus amendments) may take slightly longer. The result is delivered as an on-screen Playbook with an immediate PDF download.

What does the Playbook include?

Every Playbook opens with an Operating Brief: the handful of off-market or high-risk terms on this contract, a deadline and notice calendar you can export to Outlook, and the actions each role owns. Below that, a Project Snapshot of the key commercial terms and a full, source-linked reference you can search or ask Contract Compass about. Every item cites the exact contract section it came from.

Is my contract data confidential?

Documents are transmitted over an encrypted connection to a commercial AI service solely to generate the analysis, then are not retained, indexed, or used to train any model under the API terms in effect with the provider.

Can I share the Playbook with my client or project team?

Yes. After a Playbook is generated, use Share Link to create a private, expiring link (optionally passcode-protected) your client can open in any browser, or Export for Client to download the entire Playbook as a single self-contained file you can attach to an email. Either way your client gets full navigation, every section expanded, and source citations preserved — no account or login required. The printable Operating Brief and full Playbook PDF remain available alongside it.

Can BuildPlaybook compare two contracts?

Yes. The Compare mode takes the executed contract and a baseline or standard form and produces a deviation analysis tuned to your party. Use it when you want to see where the signed agreement departs from your company's standard, or what changed between successive versions.

Confidentiality

Clear data handling, without marketing fog.

BuildPlaybook is designed for construction contracts, but it is not a data room, law-firm document system, or privilege vault. The goal is simple: use your contract only to generate the Playbook, avoid storing contract content, and be direct about the limits.

No contract library BuildPlaybook does not create a searchable database of uploaded contracts.
No model training by us Your contract is used to generate your Playbook, not to train a BuildPlaybook model.
Source-linked review The output should be verified against the contract language before anyone relies on it.
What BuildPlaybook stores

We do not store your contract as a product feature.

Your contract is held only as needed to generate the Playbook during the active session. BuildPlaybook is not designed to maintain a contract repository, document history, or searchable archive of uploaded agreements. Session-level settings, beta-access status, and optional branding details may be stored so the site works properly. One exception, and only at your request: if you create a share link, the generated Playbook itself (never your uploaded contract files) is stored encrypted at rest until the link expires — 7, 30, or 90 days, your choice — so your client can view it.

Where the contract goes

The document is sent for AI processing to create the Playbook.

To generate the analysis, the uploaded contract is transmitted over an encrypted connection to the AI provider used by the service. The provider may process inputs and outputs under its commercial API terms, including limited operational retention. BuildPlaybook does not sell uploaded contract content or use it for advertising.

What humans see

Routine human review is not part of the workflow.

BuildPlaybook personnel do not review uploaded contracts in the ordinary course of generating a Playbook. Limited access could occur only for necessary operations, security, troubleshooting requested by the user, legal compliance, or service protection.

What not to upload

Do not upload restricted material unless you have authority.

Do not upload privileged communications, attorney work product, sealed materials, export-controlled information, protected health information, documents subject to a protective order, or contracts that cannot be shared with a third-party software or AI service. A construction contract reviewed by counsel is usually different from counsel's advice about that contract, but you are responsible for deciding what may be uploaded.

Beta limitations

We are explicit about what this is not.

BuildPlaybook is not currently presented as a SOC 2-certified platform, a zero-data-retention environment, a HIPAA-compliant system, or a replacement for your company's approved document-management controls. If your organization requires those protections, do not upload until those requirements are satisfied.

Practical rule: upload ordinary construction contract documents only when you have authority to use a third-party AI-enabled review tool. Do not upload legal advice, privileged communications, sealed documents, or materials subject to special confidentiality restrictions.

For more detail, review the Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions.

Turn the contract into controls before the job starts.

PDF or Word. Separate files, or a single PDF with bundled exhibits, qualifications, schedule of values, and rate sheets.

Before you begin This works best when all contract documents are included, especially general conditions (e.g., AIA A201), exhibits, qualifications, specifications, and incorporated forms. A single PDF that contains the agreement followed by its exhibits works the same as separate files. An incomplete document set is still analyzable, but the Playbook will note what couldn't be reviewed.

Terms and Conditions

Effective date: May 2026

These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your use of the BuildPlaybook service ("Service"). By accessing, uploading documents to, or otherwise using the Service, you ("User," "you") agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. Description of Service

BuildPlaybook is an artificial-intelligence-assisted reference tool that analyzes construction contracts and generates a plain-English operating guide identifying obligations, deadlines, and risks contained in the contract. The Service is intended to help construction professionals find and operate against the key provisions of their contracts. The output of the Service is a reference document for operational use; it is not a legal opinion, legal advice, or a substitute for review by a qualified attorney.

2. No Attorney–Client Relationship; No Legal Advice

The Service is a software tool. It is not a lawyer and does not provide legal advice. No attorney–client relationship is created by your use of the Service, by any output generated by the Service, or by any communication with BuildPlaybook or its operators. The Service is not a substitute for advice from a licensed attorney regarding the legal effect of any contract. You agree to consult a qualified attorney for legal advice about any matter identified in or arising from your use of the Service. This service is not affiliated with any individual lawyer or law firm.

3. User Responsibilities; Representation of Upload Rights

You represent, warrant, and covenant on each occasion that you upload, transmit, or submit any document or information to the Service that:

  • You have all rights, licenses, consents, permissions, ownership interests, and authority necessary to upload, transmit, disclose, and analyze the documents and information you submit, and to authorize BuildPlaybook and its third-party AI service provider to receive, process, and generate output from them.
  • The documents and information you upload are not subject to any contractual restriction, confidentiality obligation, non-disclosure agreement, protective order, court seal, statute, regulation, professional rule, data-protection law, or other restriction or duty of any kind that prohibits, conditions, or limits their disclosure to, processing by, or use within a third-party software service or artificial-intelligence system. The documents and information do not contain communications subject to attorney-client privilege or attorney work product (it being acknowledged that a contract that has been reviewed by counsel is not itself privileged for purposes of this representation, but advice, opinions, or other communications from counsel about the contract are). If any such restriction or duty exists, you have obtained all consents and waivers required to permit the disclosure and use contemplated by these Terms before uploading.
  • The documents and information do not contain, and you will not upload, personal data, protected health information, payment card data, classified information, export-controlled information, trade secrets of any third party, or any other category of information whose disclosure or processing is restricted by law unless you have all required rights and authority to disclose and use it through the Service.
  • You will independently verify every output of the Service against the actual contract text before relying on it for any decision or communication.
  • You will not use the Service to give legal advice to third parties or hold the Service out as legal advice.

These representations and warranties are continuing and are reaffirmed each time you upload, transmit, or submit any document or information to the Service. Your breach of any of them is a material breach of these Terms.

4. AI Limitations

Outputs are generated by large-language-model artificial intelligence and may contain errors, omissions, hallucinations, or misinterpretations of contract language. AI systems can produce confident-sounding text that is factually wrong. The Service makes no guarantee of accuracy, completeness, currency, or fitness for any purpose. You acknowledge these limitations and assume all risks of reliance on outputs.

Document quality affects reliability. The reliability of the Service's output depends on the quality and machine-readability of the documents you upload. Documents that have been scanned without optical character recognition ("OCR"), image-only PDFs, low-resolution scans, faxed or photocopied documents, documents containing handwritten annotations, redlines, tracked changes, or other non-text elements, and documents in languages other than English, may produce findings that are incomplete, inaccurate, or that miss provisions entirely. Where the Service performs OCR on your behalf, OCR is itself an automated process subject to recognition errors, and OCR'd text may misread numbers, defined terms, section references, signatures, or other contract elements in ways that affect the Service's analysis. The Service makes no representation or warranty as to the accuracy of any OCR conversion. You are responsible for confirming that documents uploaded to the Service are legible, current, and complete, and for independently verifying the Service's output against the underlying contract text regardless of how the document was processed.

5. Third-Party Services

The Service transmits uploaded documents to a third-party large-language-model AI provider to generate analysis. Documents are transmitted over an encrypted connection and, under the commercial API terms in effect with the AI provider from time to time, are not retained, indexed, or used to train models. BuildPlaybook's representations about retention and training reflect those commercial API terms; if the AI provider modifies its commercial terms, the protections available to your uploads are those then in effect, and BuildPlaybook's obligations under these Terms are limited accordingly. You authorize this transmission as a necessary part of the Service. BuildPlaybook is not responsible for the practices of any third-party service provider beyond the contractual terms in effect with that provider. The identity of the AI provider may change from time to time as BuildPlaybook elects. See the Privacy Policy for details on data handling.

6. Confidentiality of Uploads

BuildPlaybook does not retain copies of your uploaded documents beyond what is necessary to generate your analysis in real time. BuildPlaybook personnel do not access the content of your uploads in the ordinary course of operating the Service. The Service is not, however, a secure data room or document management system. BuildPlaybook may be required to disclose information in response to a valid subpoena, court order, governmental request, or other legally binding process; in such cases BuildPlaybook will limit disclosure to what is required, and where lawfully permitted, will use reasonable efforts to notify you so that you may seek a protective order. Do not upload documents whose disclosure to any third-party software service is prohibited by contract, court order, or law. See the Privacy Policy for further detail on data handling, retention, and security.

7. Intellectual Property; License to Use Outputs

The Service, including its software, interface, prompts, and documentation, is owned by BuildPlaybook and protected by copyright and other intellectual-property laws. You retain ownership of the documents you upload. You receive a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the outputs generated from your uploads for your own internal business purposes. "Internal business purposes" includes sharing the output with your own employees, contractors, joint-venture partners on the same project, and outside legal counsel acting on your behalf with respect to the same project, in each case for the purpose of administering the contract that was the subject of the analysis. You may not resell, sublicense, or redistribute the Service or its outputs as a standalone product or service, or use them to develop or operate any product or service that competes with the Service.

8. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND UNINTERRUPTED OPERATION. BuildPlaybook DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE ERROR-FREE OR THAT ANY OUTPUT IS ACCURATE.

9. Waiver of Consequential Damages

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL BuildPlaybook OR ITS OPERATORS, OWNERS, AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, OR AGENTS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUE, LOST BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, LOST DATA, COST OF SUBSTITUTE SERVICES, DELAY DAMAGES, LOSS OF GOODWILL, OR ANY DAMAGES ARISING FROM RELIANCE ON ANY OUTPUT OF THE SERVICE, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY, EVEN IF BuildPlaybook HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. THIS WAIVER APPLIES REGARDLESS OF THE FAILURE OF ANY ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY LIMITED REMEDY. THE FOREGOING WAIVER DOES NOT APPLY TO LIABILITY FOR GROSS NEGLIGENCE, WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, OR FRAUD, OR TO ANY OTHER LIABILITY THAT, AS A MATTER OF LAW, CANNOT BE LIMITED OR EXCLUDED. IF ANY PORTION OF THIS WAIVER IS HELD UNENFORCEABLE, THE REMAINING PORTIONS REMAIN IN FULL FORCE.

10. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF BuildPlaybook AND ITS OPERATORS, OWNERS, AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE, FROM ALL CAUSES OF ACTION AND UNDER ALL THEORIES OF LIABILITY, IS STRICTLY LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF (A) ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100), OR (B) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO BuildPlaybook FOR USE OF THE SERVICE IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM. THIS LIMITATION DOES NOT APPLY TO LIABILITY FOR GROSS NEGLIGENCE, WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, OR FRAUD, OR TO ANY OTHER LIABILITY THAT, AS A MATTER OF LAW, CANNOT BE LIMITED OR EXCLUDED. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THIS LIMITATION REFLECTS A REASONABLE ALLOCATION OF RISK GIVEN THE NATURE OF THE SERVICE AND IS A MATERIAL BASIS OF THE BARGAIN.

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless BuildPlaybook and its operators, owners, affiliates, officers, employees, and agents from any claim, demand, loss, liability, damage, cost, or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to: (a) your use of the Service; (b) your reliance on any output of the Service; (c) your violation of these Terms, including any breach of the representations and warranties in Section 3; (d) your violation of any third-party right, including any intellectual-property, privacy, confidentiality, or contractual right; or (e) any documents or information you uploaded that you did not have all rights, consents, licenses, or authority to upload, or that were subject to any restriction prohibiting their disclosure to or use by a third-party software service or artificial-intelligence system.

12. Governing Law and Venue

These Terms and any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service are governed by the laws of the State of New Hampshire, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles.

All Disputes are subject to binding arbitration under Section 13. Only those Disputes that, as a matter of law, are not subject to arbitration may be brought in court. For any such non-arbitrable Dispute, the exclusive venue is the United States District Court for the District of New Hampshire, and the parties consent to its personal jurisdiction. If the federal court does not have subject-matter jurisdiction over the Dispute, then the exclusive venue is the New Hampshire state courts located in Merrimack County, New Hampshire, and the parties consent to that court's personal jurisdiction. The parties waive any objection based on venue or forum non conveniens.

13. Binding Arbitration

Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Service, or your use of the Service (a "Dispute") will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Commercial Arbitration Rules then in effect. The arbitration will be conducted by a single arbitrator and held in Manchester, New Hampshire, or by remote means if the arbitrator so directs. The arbitrator's award is final and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Class action waiver. You and BuildPlaybook each agree that any Dispute will be brought solely in your individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate claims of more than one person.

Exceptions. Either party may bring an individual action in small-claims court if it qualifies, and either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in court to protect its intellectual property rights pending arbitration.

14. Acceptable Use

You agree not to: (a) use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable law or regulation; (b) attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service, other users' data, or the underlying systems; (c) reverse-engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Service, except to the extent that applicable law expressly permits such activity notwithstanding this restriction; (d) attempt to extract, derive, or reconstruct the underlying prompts, models, training data, or other proprietary components of the Service; (e) use the Service to develop, train, or improve any competing artificial-intelligence model, product, or service; (f) use any automated means (robots, scrapers, crawlers, or similar) to access the Service except as expressly permitted by BuildPlaybook; (g) interfere with or disrupt the Service or the servers and networks connected to it; (h) impersonate any person or entity or misrepresent your affiliation with any person or entity; (i) use the Service to transmit malware, viruses, or other malicious code; or (j) use the Service in any manner that could damage, disable, overburden, or impair the Service. Violation of this Section is a material breach of these Terms.

15. Force Majeure

Neither party is liable for any failure or delay in performance to the extent caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including without limitation acts of God, natural disasters, pandemic or epidemic, war, terrorism, civil disorder, governmental action, labor disputes, internet or telecommunications failures, third-party service outages (including outages of the AI provider), or cyberattacks. The affected party will use commercially reasonable efforts to resume performance as soon as practicable.

16. Export Controls and Sanctions

You represent and warrant that (a) you are not located in, organized under the laws of, or ordinarily resident in, any country or region subject to comprehensive U.S. economic sanctions (currently including Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, and the Crimea, Donetsk, and Luhansk regions of Ukraine); (b) you are not identified on any U.S. government list of restricted or prohibited persons, including the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List maintained by the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control, the Denied Persons List maintained by the U.S. Department of Commerce, or any equivalent list maintained by any other government; and (c) you will not use the Service in violation of any U.S. or other applicable export-control or sanctions law.

17. Government End Users

The Service is a "commercial item" as that term is defined in 48 C.F.R. § 2.101, consisting of "commercial computer software" and "commercial computer software documentation" as those terms are used in 48 C.F.R. § 12.212 and 48 C.F.R. § 227.7202, as applicable. Any use of the Service by or for the U.S. Government is governed solely by the terms of these Terms.

18. Termination

BuildPlaybook may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, with or without notice or cause. You may stop using the Service at any time. Sections 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, and 20 survive any termination.

19. Changes to These Terms

BuildPlaybook may update these Terms from time to time. The effective date at the top of this document shows the most recent revision. For non-material changes (such as clarifications, formatting, or updates that do not adversely affect your rights), your continued use of the Service after the change constitutes acceptance. For material changes, BuildPlaybook will provide reasonable advance notice through the Service (for example, by a notice on the website or by email if you have provided an email address), and your continued use of the Service after the effective date of the material change constitutes acceptance. If you do not agree to a material change, your sole remedy is to stop using the Service before the change takes effect.

20. General Provisions

Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy referenced herein, are the entire agreement between you and BuildPlaybook regarding the Service and supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications, whether oral or written.

Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force, and the unenforceable provision is modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable while preserving its intent.

No waiver. Failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of the right to enforce it later.

Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without BuildPlaybook's prior written consent. BuildPlaybook may assign these Terms freely, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, or sale of assets.

No third-party beneficiaries. These Terms do not create any rights enforceable by any person other than you and BuildPlaybook.

Construction. Headings are for convenience only. "Including" means "including without limitation."

Notices to BuildPlaybook. Notices required under these Terms should be sent to [email protected].

BuildPlaybook

Privacy Policy

Effective date: May 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how BuildPlaybook ("we," "us," "our") collects, uses, and discloses information when you use our service at buildPlaybook.ai (the "Service"). It applies to information you provide directly, information generated by your use of the Service, and information collected automatically when you visit the website. Use of the Service is also governed by our Terms and Conditions.

1. Information We Collect

Documents you upload. When you use the Service to generate a Playbook, you upload one or more contract documents. The text of those documents is transmitted to our AI provider to produce your analysis.

Inputs you provide. Your selected role (e.g., Owner, GC, Subcontractor), your party name as you enter it, the role you assign to the counterparty, and any specific concerns or focus areas you add at upload.

Beta access information. The access code you enter to use the Service. We do not currently require you to create an account, provide an email address, or otherwise register before using the Service.

Correspondence. If you contact us by email (including at [email protected]), we receive your email address, the contents of your message, and any information you choose to include.

Technical information collected automatically. When you visit buildplaybook.ai, our hosting provider (Cloudflare) automatically logs standard web request information, including your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, referring URL, the pages you access, and the date and time of access. This information is used for security, abuse prevention, and aggregate analytics. We may also use Cloudflare Web Analytics, which does not use cookies and does not fingerprint individual visitors.

Cookies and similar technologies. The Service uses your browser's sessionStorage to remember that you have entered a valid beta access code, so that you do not have to re-enter it on every page within the same browser session. We do not currently use tracking cookies or third-party advertising cookies. If we add cookies in the future, this Policy will be updated.

2. How We Use Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Generate your contract Playbook by transmitting your uploaded documents and inputs to our AI provider for analysis;
  • Operate, maintain, and secure the Service, including detecting and preventing fraud, abuse, and unauthorized access;
  • Respond to your inquiries and provide support;
  • Improve the Service, including by reviewing aggregated, non-identifying usage patterns;
  • Comply with legal obligations, enforce our Terms and Conditions, and protect our rights.

3. Document Handling and Retention

Documents you upload are processed for the purpose of generating your Playbook and are not retained, indexed, or used to train any model. Specifically:

  • Uploaded document text is transmitted over an encrypted connection to our AI provider.
  • Under the commercial API terms in effect with our AI provider, customer inputs are not retained beyond the period required to deliver the response, are not used to train the provider's general-purpose models, and are subject to the provider's enterprise data protection commitments.
  • The generated Playbook is delivered to your browser. We do not maintain a server-side copy of your Playbook beyond what is necessary to deliver it to you in real time.
  • We do not have access to or visibility into the content of your uploads in the ordinary course of operating the Service.

If you save the Playbook as a PDF, the saved file resides on your own device or wherever you store it, and our retention practices no longer apply.

4. Third-Party Service Providers

We rely on a limited set of third parties to operate the Service:

  • AI provider. A commercial large-language-model provider (currently Anthropic; subject to change at our discretion as we operate the Service) processes your uploaded documents to generate the analysis. The provider's processing is governed by its commercial API terms, which prohibit retention of customer inputs beyond delivery of the response and prohibit use of those inputs to train general-purpose models.
  • Hosting and infrastructure. The Service is hosted on Cloudflare Pages. Cloudflare receives standard web-request information as described in Section 1.
  • Email. If you contact us at [email protected], the message is processed by our email provider.

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with advertisers, data brokers, or other third parties for their independent commercial use.

5. Disclosure of Information

We may disclose information in limited circumstances:

  • To service providers as described in Section 4, solely to operate the Service;
  • To comply with law, including in response to valid legal process such as a subpoena, court order, or other binding governmental request;
  • To protect rights and safety, where we have a good-faith belief that disclosure is necessary to enforce our Terms and Conditions, protect our rights or the rights of others, or prevent fraud, abuse, or harm;
  • In connection with a business transaction, such as a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, or sale of assets, in which case the information may be transferred to the successor as part of the transaction, subject to terms at least as protective as those in this Policy.

6. Security

We use commercially reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect the information we process, including encrypted transmission of uploaded documents and access controls on our infrastructure. No system is perfectly secure, however, and we cannot guarantee the security of information transmitted to or processed by the Service. You use the Service at your own risk and should not upload documents whose disclosure to any third-party software service is prohibited by contract, court order, or law.

7. Your Choices and Rights

You control what you upload. You decide which documents to submit to the Service. You can choose not to use the Service if you do not want any document analyzed.

You can request information about data we hold. If you have corresponded with us by email or otherwise provided us with identifiable information, you may contact us at [email protected] to ask what information we hold about you, to request correction or deletion of that information, or to ask questions about this Policy.

State-specific rights. Depending on your state of residence, you may have additional rights under applicable privacy laws, such as the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA), the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act, or similar laws in other states. These rights typically include the right to know what personal information we collect, the right to delete personal information, the right to correct inaccurate personal information, and the right to opt out of certain processing. To exercise these rights, contact us at [email protected]. We do not sell personal information and do not use it for cross-context behavioral advertising.

EEA, UK, and Swiss residents. The Service is offered from the United States and is intended primarily for U.S. users. If you access the Service from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, you acknowledge that your information will be transferred to and processed in the United States, which has different data protection rules than your home jurisdiction.

8. Children

The Service is intended for use by construction professionals and businesses. It is not directed to children under 18, and we do not knowingly collect information from children under 18. If you believe a child has provided information to us, contact us at [email protected] and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The effective date at the top of this document shows the most recent revision. If we make material changes, we will provide notice through the Service or by other reasonable means. Your continued use of the Service after a change indicates your acceptance of the revised Policy.
