Fort Hill opens AI construction payment audits to project owners

Fort Hill has introduced an AI-driven audit system that reviews construction payment applications against contract terms for project owners. The system automatically checks each payment request for compliance, flags discrepancies, and links any exceptions directly to the relevant source pages in the contract documents.

Before a payment can proceed, the flagged items require review and approval by a professional auditor. The design preserves the speed of automated review while keeping human accountability in the approval chain. Project owners receive faster initial assessments without removing the auditor’s judgment from the final decision.
