Construction and engineering firms generate structured, high-stakes decision trails: RFIs, submittals, change orders and field reports. Identify the company-owned process behind those records, then check whether it can be explained without owner drawings, client specifications or restricted field reports.

## Systems to inventory

- Procore or Autodesk Construction Cloud
- Email
- Project management tools
- Shared drives

## Useful context to preserve

- Formal decision records
- Domain expertise in every thread
- Long project timelines

## Be careful with

- Client drawings and specs are often client-owned
- Safety incident records need special care

## Worked example: A 75-person general contractor (fictional)

Granite Build licenses internal RFI workflows, change-order discussions and field reports from Procore and email. Owner drawings and specifications are excluded; the decision trails around them are in scope.

## When it is not worth it

- Most project records belong to owners or designers under contract.
- Safety incident records cannot be separated from the rest.

## How it works for construction and engineering

1. 01

   ### Describe the records you hold

   Systems, history, ownership and exclusions.
2. 02

   ### Check fit and approve introductions

   A relevant program is a starting point.
3. 03

   ### Compare the offers received

   Evaluate the same scope and rights.
4. 04

   ### Agree on delivery and payment

   Sign only when responsibilities are clear.

## Assess the buyer against your scope

Ask each buyer to confirm the systems, records and rights it needs. An industry label alone does not establish eligibility. Our [buyer comparison](https://quotemydata.com/compare/ai-data-buyers) links to published program requirements.

### Can we license project documents?

Your internal process records may qualify. Drawings and specifications usually belong to the owner or designer, so they are typically excluded.
