About COMPASS GLOBAL

Compass Global exists for one reason:

To eliminate risk before it shows up in your commercial flooring project.

We are not a freelance estimating service.

We are not an offshore takeoff shop.

And we are not here to simply “estimate quantities.”

We operate at the point where most projects begin to fail—preconstruction.

What We Actually Do

We produce defensible, document-driven preconstruction take-offs and reports for commercial flooring and finish scopes across Divisions 03, 09, and 12.

Our work goes beyond takeoffs.  We break down your drawings and specifications to identify:

Scope gaps

Contradictions between plans and specs

Missing or undefined requirements

Attic stock exposures

Value engineering opportunities

Conditions that will turn into change orders later

If it exists in the documents, we find it.  If it doesn’t exist, we expose that too.

Why We Exist

Most projects don’t fail in the field.  They fail before the bid is ever submitted.  Misaligned documents, incomplete scopes, and missed details create downstream problems that show up as:

Lost margin

Change orders

Schedule delays

Owner disputes

We exist to make those problems visible before you own them.

Our Approach

Every project is analyzed using a combination of:

Experienced U.S.-based estimators

Proprietary workflows built around commercial flooring scopes

SQUARES AI, our internally developed platform designed specifically for preconstruction document analysis

This is not generic AI.

It is trained on years of real project data, focused exclusively on identifying risk, inconsistency, and scope exposure within construction documents.

Accountability Over Excuses

We don’t hide behind “per plans and specs.”  We don’t rely on hold harmless language.  And we don’t disappear after the bid.  We believe in ownership.

When we’re part of a project, our work is designed to hold up:

During buyout

During submittals

During installation

What Makes Us Different

Fully U.S.-based estimating team

Seven-day coverage, including nights and holidays

Fully insured, including Errors & Omissions

Document-driven reporting tied directly to drawings and specifications

Standardized exhibit-based deliverables for clarity and accountability

Rapid response times measured in minutes, not days

What You Should Expect

If you send us a set of drawings and specifications, you should not expect a generic takeoff.

You should expect:

A clear understanding of what is defined

A clear identification of what is not

A documented position on scope

And a foundation you can actually bid with confidence

Bottom Line

Anyone can measure a floor.  Very few can tell you what that measurement actually means to your risk.

That’s where we operate.

SQUARES AI – Research-Driven Intelligence for Preconstruction

SQUARES AI is a proprietary, research-driven artificial intelligence platform developed by Compass Global to transform how preconstruction is analyzed, documented, and executed. Built specifically for commercial construction, SQUARES AI is not a generalized tool—it is a closed, domain-trained system engineered to interpret drawings, specifications, and project documentation with a level of depth and structure aligned to real-world estimating workflows.

At its core, SQUARES AI leverages advanced prompt engineering and large language model (LLM) orchestration to produce fully qualified preconstruction reports. These reports go beyond summarization. They systematically identify project vulnerabilities, including scope gaps, document contradictions, incomplete design intent, coordination issues, and specification inconsistencies—before they become costly problems in the field.

Unlike conventional AI applications that prioritize speed alone, SQUARES AI is built on the principle that visibility drives better outcomes. Every output is designed to be traceable, document-grounded, and defensible, enabling estimators, project managers, and stakeholders to make informed decisions with clarity and confidence.

The platform operates as an analytical layer alongside experienced estimators—not in place of them. By combining human expertise with structured AI-driven validation, SQUARES AI enhances consistency, reduces risk exposure, and strengthens the integrity of preconstruction deliverables.

Powered by over a decade of captured flooring data and continuously evolving through active research and development, SQUARES AI represents a new standard in preconstruction intelligence—where every assumption is examined, every gap is surfaced, and every decision is supported by data.
