From the founder
“We do not begin with software. We begin by understanding where the operation is losing time, money, or control.”Cassidy Kittredge, Founder & CEO
Where the work gets better / 02
Specific problems. Operational responses.
“Efficiency” is too broad to build against. We work with observable friction, clear owners, and consequences the business can measure.
Field reporting
What we see
Project information arrives late, in different formats, and without a reliable line to executive visibility.
How KAI responds
Create one operating flow from field capture to review, escalation, and leadership reporting.
Fleet planning
What we see
Replacement decisions happen after downtime, repair spend, and emergency purchases have already affected the job.
How KAI responds
Connect utilization, maintenance, cost, and replacement timing before the decision becomes urgent.
IRA compliance
What we see
Payroll evidence, labor issues, and project records are scattered until an audit or closeout creates pressure.
How KAI responds
Organize compliance evidence while the work is happening and surface issues before they compound.
Project intelligence
What we see
Valuable reports and historical data exist, but teams cannot find or compare them when planning the next pursuit.
How KAI responds
Turn disconnected records into searchable, location-aware intelligence that can support the next decision.
Built to fit / 03
No two construction companies run the same.
We use that difference as an advantage.
Your estimating habits, project controls, field communication, culture, and decision rights are part of the system. We design around them instead of forcing the operation into a generic template.
Systems may include
- Process automation
- Lead enrichment
- Outbound sales infrastructure
- Data organization
- Workflow and strategic software design
- Custom AI integration
- Whatever your operation needs to perform at its peak

Where we come from / 05
We come from construction. That changes the conversation.
Kanawha AI grew out of a family-owned construction company in West Virginia and is now based in Pittsburgh.
We have seen good companies lose momentum to disconnected data, repetitive work, and software that never understood the operation. That experience still shapes how we work today.
We listen before we build, stay close to the people doing the work, and use AI where it creates a real advantage. The goal is a stronger company, not simply more technology.

Tell us where the operation is fighting itself.
You do not need a technical brief. Bring us the bottleneck, the broken handoff, the buried data, or the idea your current systems cannot support. We will help determine what should be built and why.
