Steel is unpredictable. It always has been. And that's why concrete holds 50% more global structural framing market share than steel.

Connections are 5% of a project by weight but make up 30 to 50% of fabrication cost. They are the most complex, most liability-heavy step in the supply chain and the last thing finalised.

Margin is lost where visibility is missing. Schedule compression is the new normal. And what the best people know leaves when they do.

Every project starts from scratch. Thousands of connections, millions of decisions, and when the job's done, that knowledge evaporates. The next project starts with a blank screen.

Steel doesn't have a speed problem. It has a memory problem.

Established in 2023 as a research lab, ConnectionAI brought together a cross-functional team of experts across steel, engineering and artificial intelligence to leverage over 60 years and billions of dollars’ worth of real construction project data to build the Steel Brain.
