Longford based startup Scopey is developing an AI platform designed to improve how construction teams capture and manage project records.

Construction projects generate huge volumes of communication every day across messaging apps, calls and site conversations. Important details about delays, disruptions or damages are often recorded informally, making it difficult for commercial teams to rely on them later when managing contracts or preparing claims.

Scopey addresses this by using artificial intelligence to turn WhatsApp messages and voice notes from site teams into structured, time stamped records. This allows events to be captured as they happen and creates a clear audit trail that can support project administration and commercial decision making.

The company was founded in 2022 by Jenna Farrell, Mark Kehoe, Gillian Laging and Daragh O’Shea. The founders recognised that many construction software tools require significant training and changes to existing workflows, which often limits adoption on site.

Scopey takes a different approach by building around tools that site teams already use every day. By capturing information through familiar chat based workflows, contractors can start recording project events immediately without introducing new systems to crews on site.

The company has secured early funding and is working with construction companies across Ireland and internationally as it continues to develop the platform.
