How a Fortune 500 Customer Used BUL’s AI Meeting Tools to Resolve a Major Construction Dispute

Construction projects are complex by nature, and when schedules slip or mistakes happen, figuring out who is responsible can become a costly and time-consuming battle. One of our Fortune 500 customers recently faced this exact challenge — and used BUL Technologies’ AI meeting and local file tools to cut through the noise and find the truth.

The Challenge: Hours of Evidence, No Clear Answers

On a large concrete subcontractor dispute, both sides claimed they were not at fault. The evidence included:

  • 29 video files, each 1.5 hours long (≈43.5 hours of recordings) from onsite meetings and records.

  • Multiple conflicting schedules from different subcontractors.

  • Change orders and delay claims that impacted the entire project.

Traditionally, reviewing this much material would take months of manual work by lawyers, project managers, and consultants. The question was: Who was late? Who made the mistake? Which change orders were valid?

The Solution: AI-Powered Meeting Summaries & File Analysis

Using BUL’s AI meeting assistant, the project team uploaded all 29 files into our system. Within minutes, BUL automatically:

  • Transcribed and summarized 43+ hours of subcontractor video recordings.

  • Identified the actual construction schedule from discussions.

  • Pinpointed who was behind schedule and which party caused delays.

  • Highlighted mistakes made by different subcontractors.

  • Distinguished delays caused by weather versus delays caused by human error.

  • Mapped out which other trades were impacted by the knock-on effects of the delay.

  • Organized change orders to show which were legitimate and which were not.

The Outcome: AI Evidence in Public Court

The summarized findings were presented in public court as part of the legal proceedings. Instead of relying on conflicting testimonies, the court reviewed BUL’s AI-generated reports to clearly see:

  • Which subcontractor owned responsibility for delays.

  • How much money was owed and by whom.

  • The exact schedule impact caused by weather versus contractor delays.

  • Which change orders were valid — and which were rejected.

What could have been months of legal wrangling turned into a data-driven case that was resolved efficiently and fairly.

Why This Matters

This case is a powerful example of how AI can transform construction dispute resolution:

  • Faster: 43+ hours of video summarized in minutes.

  • Smarter: AI identified facts humans could have missed in hours of discussion.

  • Fairer: Court decisions were based on real project data, not conflicting opinions.
