Nexus from CMiC offers natural language processing, “construction intelligence” and agent-driven automation

CMiC has launched Nexus, a construction ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) platform powered by more than 25 intelligent AI agents. According to the company, Nexus redefines how construction teams interact with data, automate workflows, and make critical business decisions — enabling them to focus on high-value strategic work rather than repetitive processes.

 

“Our AI-powered features offer users advanced data visualization capabilities, business intelligence tools, and the ability to leverage natural language to optimise key business functions,” says Gord Rawlins, president & CEO, CMiC.

 

For project management, AI automates drawing uploads by extracting sheet numbers and titles, organises spec books into trade sections with CSI codes, and pre-fills submittal records to accelerate log creation.

The Project Pulse Dashboard uses sentiment analysis on daily journal entries to detect emerging issues like delays and safety concerns before they impact project outcomes.

The Financials module enables users to create Balance Sheets, Income Statements, and other financial documents using natural language which, according to the company, dramatically reduces preparation time from hours to minutes.

CMiC’s Analytics capabilities are said to democratise data access as team members are able to ask questions and receive instant insights, regardless of technical expertise. On top of that, agent-driven automation deploys over 25 AI agents across project management and financials to handle routine tasks, from master cost code maintenance to bank reconciliation and financial impact analysis.

In addition to its AI capabilities, Nexus features a modern user interface built on Material 3 design principles, delivering what CMiC descrivbes as enhanced visual clarity, improved readability, and faster information processing.

“NEXUS represents a fundamental shift in how construction teams interact with their ERP. From agentic workflows that handle complex tasks autonomously, to ‘AL’ delivering instant insights, to AI woven directly into the tools you use every day — it all comes together in a modern, unified experience. This is construction technology reimagined for the AI era,” said Steve Cangiano, Chief Product Officer at CMiC.
