AI Operator for AEC Firms — Monthly Retainer
Your firm's outsourced AI operations team — shipping one new workflow every 2 weeks, without you becoming the AI person.
Monthly partnership for AEC firms ready to operationalize AI. Built and run by the operating MD of a 15-person civil consultancy. No “AI strategy decks.” Just workflows that ship, users trained, and capacity recovered — measured monthly.
Be the AEC firm in your region whose competitors quietly ask “how are they doing this?”
What changes
Every 30 days, one more part of your firm runs on AI.
Six months in, your partners have stopped doing admin and your firm carries 30% more project load with the same team. The work gets done. You don't become the AI person.
01
We ship, not advise.
We build the prompt, deploy the tool, train the user, monitor adoption. Your staff member's only job is to use it 3× in week 1. No discovery phase — the Blueprint already ran.
02
First workflow live in week 2.
No 90-day “onboarding.” The first workflow goes live in week 2 of month 1. Status report at end of each month. Measurable adoption metrics, not vanity dashboards.
03
Operator credibility, not consultant theatre.
We're already running this inside ACE Consultancy, a 15-person civil engineering firm. Founder = operator, not consultant. We ship 1–4 workflows per month, every month, with a measurable adoption metric.

Risk reversal
First Win or First Month Free — plus Release-of-Service.
First Win or First Month Free.If we have not shipped at least one measurable Quick Win into your firm by the end of month 2 — a workflow that's running, with at least one trained user actively using it — we refund month 2 in full. You keep every artefact, prompt, and tool we deployed in month 1.
Plus: Release-of-Service.No long-term contract. 30 days notice, ever. If at any point you don't see the value, walk. Most retainers tie you to a year. Ours ties us to you only as long as we're earning it.
Honest capacity scarcity. We onboard 2 new AI Operator clients per month. Once those slots are filled, the next slot rolls to the following month.
FAQ
Common questions.
Do I need to buy the Blueprint first?
Strongly recommended, not required. The Blueprint is the diagnostic — without it, we'd spend the first month of your retainer doing what the Blueprint already does in 5 days. If you already know exactly which workflows you want shipped and have the context to brief us, skip ahead.
What counts as a 'workflow shipped'?
A workflow is live when it's deployed to your stack, at least one of your staff is trained on it, and they've used it on real work. We don't count 'set up' or 'demoed' — only adopted. That's what the Adoption Log measures.
What if a shipped workflow doesn't stick?
We track adoption in the monthly metrics report. If a workflow's adoption drops below threshold in month 2, we re-train or replace it on our own time — that one doesn't count toward your monthly cap until it sticks.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. 30 days notice, ever. No long-term contract. The Release-of-Service guarantee is real — most retainers tie you to a year, ours doesn't.
What if my team doesn't actually use what you ship?
Then we haven't shipped — we've delivered. There's a difference. The First Win or First Month Free guarantee protects you against the failure mode of paid pilots that nobody touches. Adoption is our problem, not yours.
Who's actually doing the work?
Vivek leads strategy and architecture on every account. Workflow build and training are delivered by our small operator team. On Scale tier, Vivek personally takes the quarterly strategy calls.
One new workflow every 2 weeks.
