Datagrid embedded directly into Procore to move AI beyond surfacing information and toward executing work, from approved design to handover.
Procore, the construction management software provider, has launched a connected Common Data Environment (CDE) that brings together project data, workflows, BIM models, and asset information in a single environment. The platform is designed to keep digital records aligned with site reality and lay the groundwork for AI agents to operate across the full construction lifecycle.
Procore’s CDE features AI technology from Datagrid, an agentic AI platform that Procore acquired in January 2026. The aim is to create a foundation for AI to move beyond surfacing information and toward executing work through a series of “agentic AI coworkers” that automate construction workflows and take action within the platform.

Procore emphasises that these coworkers are designed to help eliminate administrative friction rather than replace professional judgment, accelerating execution while project teams retain control, accountability, and final decision-making authority.
According to Procore, the AI capabilities can reason across project context, understand relationships between workflows and data, and support execution in complex construction environments.
“We’re on track to reduce construction administration work with respect to RFI creation, response, and submittal review by 50%,” said Alain Waha, CTO, Buro Happold. “By embedding AI directly into project workflows, teams can spend less time navigating information and more time advancing the work.”
Procore’s CDE connects AI to structured project datasets — including BIM models, drawings, specifications, RFIs, submittals, and site activity. According to the company this enables it to gain a deeper understanding of both spatial and operational context. So teams can turn fragmented project information into immediate, actionable insights.

It can surface answers already contained within project records before new RFIs are created, identify discrepancies between approved designs and field execution, and accelerate issue resolution by connecting related workflows, documents, and historical project context.
The connected record also has implications for compliance. For European teams operating under ISO 19650 and the Building Safety Act, Procore says the CDE provides the defensible audit trail required to meet regulatory obligations at every stage of a project — from design through to handover.
“The challenge is no longer simply moving from paper to digital, but ensuring information flows consistently across teams, processes and the full project lifecycle. As regulatory expectations rise and firms adopt AI, connected data is becoming a competitive advantage,” said Lee Miles, General Manager, Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) at Procore.
Developed specifically for European market requirements, Procore’s CDE will initially launch in the UK and Ireland before expanding across EMEA.
