The Problem

Malaysian Contractors Run on Chaos

3,000+ G5–G7 contractors managing RM50B+ in active contracts — with Excel, WhatsApp, and prayer.

  1. Progress claims prepared entirely by hand

    A QS spends 2–3 days per month assembling a single progress claim from Excel spreadsheets, email attachments, and site photos.

    One missed submission = 30–60 days delayed cash flow.

  2. No real-time CEO visibility

    The CEO finds out about cash flow problems when the bank account runs dry — not when the risk first appears on site.

    Decisions made on 30-day-old data, not live project status.

  3. Approvals tracked in WhatsApp groups

    Material approvals, shop drawings, and method statements are chased via WhatsApp. Delays block construction starts with no audit trail.

    Average 14–21 day approval delay per submission.

  4. CIPAA compliance risk

    CIPAA 2012 requires payment responses within 14 working days. Most contractors cannot prove compliance without a paper trail.

    Adjudication cases rose 40% between 2020–2024.

  5. Material procurement is reactive, not planned

    Materials are ordered when stock runs out, not when the schedule demands them. Emergency orders cost 15–25% premium.

    Steel +35%, concrete +20% since 2021 — margins at 2–5%.

The Product

An AI Agent Workforce — Not Just a Dashboard

Our agents don't show you data. They do the work. Each agent is a purpose-built AI worker that handles a specific, high-value construction operation — autonomously, 24/7, without manual input.

BEFORE QS spends 3 days preparing a claim from Excel + emails
AFTER Claim Agent drafts it in minutes. QS reviews and approves.

How it Works

From Setup to Results, in Days Not Months

Connect, configure, improve, then scale with confidence.

Connects to your existing systems

Othersmind integrates with Gmail, MS Project, and your Bill of Quantities (BQ) — no rip-and-replace.

Keeps your SOPs and processes

Agents map to PAM Contract 2006, CIPAA 2012, and JKR claim structures — Malaysian construction law is natively encoded, not bolted on.

Monitor & improve

Role-based dashboards track claim status, approval aging, and cash position, with updates you can act on without code.

The Platform

One Command Centre, Every Stakeholder

Role-based views mean every team member sees exactly what they need — nothing more, nothing less. The CEO sees cash, the QS sees valuations, the site engineer sees tasks.

Executive Dashboard

Cash flow KPIs, traffic-light project health, pending claims, critical alerts.

Commercial & Claims

Progress claims, VOs, retention waterfall — PAM/JKR compliant.

Schedule & BQ

MS Project integration, earned value, next-claim forecast.

Document Approvals

Pre-Con checklist, RFI tracker, shop drawing register, approval gate.

Material Control

Supplier POs, delivery tracking, stock levels, low-stock alerts.

Gmail Intelligence

Project inbox connected, emails auto-classified and linked to claims.

What this proves

PAM 2006 contract structure — retention cap, two-moiety release, cumulative valuations all correct.

Gmail integration reads and classifies real project correspondence automatically.

BQ-to-schedule engine produces claim projections a QS can verify and sign off.

Multi-project architecture — same schema handles property developer, JKR, and private client contracts.

Roadmap

What's Next

Where we're headed — the items below are forward-looking targets, not achieved results.

  1. Now — Foundation
    • 11-module dashboard live with blueprint UI
    • Real BQ data from Claim #17 loaded
    • Pre-Con Checklist gate system designed
    • Architecture for Gmail + AI agent layer complete
  2. Target: Next 90 Days — First Revenue
    • Correct-financials (P0) fixes and documents module shipped
    • Gmail API connected for auto-classification
    • Claim Agent v1 drafting claims from progress data
    • First paying client onboarded
  3. Target: 12 Months — Scale
    • Agent workforce (Claim, Approval, Briefing) live for paying customers
    • Expansion into the property-development sector

Construction is the beachhead — property development, infrastructure, and facilities management represent natural platform expansion in later years, across a Malaysian G4–G7 contractor and developer market of roughly 5,000 companies managing RM80B+ in annual contract value.

Why Contractors Trust Othersmind

Domain Depth No Generic Platform Can Replicate

Regulatory moat

PAM Contract 2006, CIPAA 2012 payment timelines, Malaysian BQ format, and JKR claim structures are natively encoded. A generic platform cannot replicate this without years of domain work.

Data moat

As more contractors run projects through Othersmind, our AI agents learn real approval timelines, consultant response patterns, and claim certification rates — a proprietary dataset no competitor can buy.

Switching-cost moat

Othersmind indexes every Gmail thread, every approval, every claim, and every drawing across the project lifecycle. Leaving means losing years of structured, searchable project intelligence.

Agent IP moat

Claim preparation, RFI follow-up, material approval chasing, and pre-con gate checks are encoded as agent SOPs — refined per client, becoming proprietary operational IP.

The more projects run through Othersmind, the smarter the agents get — and the harder it becomes to leave.

    Runs real construction projects; every feature solves a problem he faces personally, not one he imagined.

  2. 02

    First customer = himself

    AI-native development

    Builds with Cursor + Claude Code + Manus. Ships in days, not months.

  4. 04

    Zero competition in niche

    Procore costs RM1,500+/month. No Malaysian-localized AI construction platform exists at this price point.

The best construction software is built by someone who has stood on a site at 7am, chased a consultant for an approval, and stayed up preparing a claim. That person is the founder.

Construction Is the Backbone of Malaysia's Economy. Othersmind Is the Operating System It Deserves.

We are building the AI agent workforce that replaces spreadsheets, WhatsApp groups, and missed claims — starting with the RM50 billion Malaysian construction sector.
