Two new PDF-powered features that save hours of manual data entry and help you spot problems before they cost money.
Contract PDF Parser (Pro)
Upload your building contract PDF and AI extracts:
- Contract sum and builder details (name, license, ABN)
- Project address and key dates (start, completion, cooling off)
- Payment stage schedule with percentages
- Prime Cost (PC) and Provisional Sum (PS) allowances
- Insurance and warranty details
But the real value is what the AI flags:
- Unusual clauses — terms that deviate from standard HIA/MBA contracts
- Missing protections — things that should be in your contract but aren't (like liquidated damages for delays, or defects liability periods)
This is like having a building solicitor do a first-pass review — for the cost of a Pro subscription.
Inspector Report Import (Pro)
Many homeowners hire private building inspectors at key stages. The inspector gives you a PDF report with 20+ findings. Until now, you had to manually create each defect in Guardian, typing descriptions and locations one by one.
Now: upload the PDF, and AI extracts every defect with:
- Title and description
- Location (room/area)
- Severity (critical, major, minor, cosmetic)
- Inspector's recommendation
Review the extracted defects, deselect any you don't want, and hit "Create All Defects". Twenty defects created in 30 seconds instead of 20 minutes.
Upgrade to Pro and import your next contract or inspector report.
