Trunk Tools
Purpose-built AI agents that read construction drawings and absorb the document grind.
About
Trunk Tools is an AI platform built for construction teams drowning in project documentation. At its core is Cortex, an intelligence layer trained specifically on construction documents, including a vision layer that reads drawings rather than just text. Cortex powers a suite of purpose-built agents covering drawing review, RFI workflows, submittal management, bid analysis, and schedule monitoring, connecting objects on a floor plan to their specs, submittals, schedules, and change orders.
Founded in 2021 by Dr. Sarah Buchner and headquartered in New York, the company raised a $20 million Series A led by Redpoint Ventures and is deployed on hundreds of active jobsites across the US, with customers including Gilbane, Suffolk, HITT, DPR, and Consigli across billions of dollars in active construction volume. It integrates with Procore, Autodesk, Box, SharePoint, Egnyte, and Dropbox without requiring data migration, and ships pre-trained with no prompting or model tuning needed. Pricing is custom-quoted rather than published.
What it can do
- Cortex intelligence layer that reads drawings, symbols, markups, and cross-sheet references
- AI agents for drawing review, RFI workflows, submittals, bid analysis, and schedules
- Object-to-record linking: select an item on a drawing to see specs, changes, and submittals
- Vision layer trained on 400+ object types and 2M+ labels with change detection
- Integrations with Procore, Autodesk, Box, SharePoint, Egnyte, and Dropbox
Setup
Contact Trunk Tools for a demo or pilot; connect Procore, Autodesk, or your document storage and agents come live pre-trained on day one.
Prerequisites
A Trunk Tools account; project documents in a connected system such as Procore, Autodesk, SharePoint, Box, or Dropbox.

Trust score — 8/10
Scored 8/10 (verified tier, metrics-v1). Evidence: founded 2021, $20M Series A led by Redpoint Ventures; Cortex AI layer launched June 2026; deployed on hundreds of active US jobsites with customers including Gilbane, Suffolk, HITT, and DPR. Strengths: construction-specific vision AI for drawings, pre-trained agents across the project lifecycle, integrations with Procore and Autodesk with no migration required. Docked for: (1) pricing is custom-quoted with no published tiers; (2) efficiency and rework-reduction claims are vendor-reported; (3) young company with limited independent review footprint.
