Home Project Planning Engine
Plans a home project and compares contractor proposals.
Answers: "Can an app help users plan a home project and compare quotes?" For homeowners and renters.
Planning support only. It does not certify technical, structural or safety work.
Available today
ImplementedImplemented: runs on the shared runtime with supplied material. One bounded development check on 2026-10-12 took 141.6s with 15 model calls and ended "incomplete". That is a development signal, not an evaluation. Customer access is by approved account.

Sample
Authored illustration. Written by Encevra to show the workflow. Not customer data and not a recorded model output.
Compare these two bathroom quotes.
Quote 1: $9,800, includes moving the toilet and new wiring for a heated floor, 1 year warranty. Quote 2: $7,400, excludes electrical, warranty not stated. I want to start in 3 weeks.
- Quotes compared on scope, cost and timing as supplied
- Scope items missing from a quote
- Questions to ask each contractor
The real response shape is documented in the API reference.
How the workflow operates
Each role is a responsibility in the workflow, served by a third party language model. More roles are not automatically better; depth and routing decide which run.
Built with
Models this engine uses: OpenAI (GPT), Anthropic (Claude). Specialists run on OpenAI models and the claim review and final brief on Anthropic models. If a provider has a temporary failure, the step can fall back to an OpenAI model, and the run records that.
Scope Analyst
Define the work and what is excluded.
Sequencing Planner
Order the work by dependency.
Estimate Reviewer
Compare supplied costs line by line.
Proposal Analyst
Compare contractor proposals on scope, warranty and terms.
Safety Reviewer
Identify work that needs a licensed professional or permit.
Evidence and deployment
Evidence
This engine reads the text you send in the request. Each released finding carries the exact quote and its character span in that text, located mechanically before release. Quotes that cannot be located are labelled Insufficient evidence and never shown as source verified. Interpretation is reviewed as a separate step, and gaps such as a missing clause describe what was searched instead of citing text that is not there.
Deployment
Runs on Encevra hosted infrastructure using the third party models listed above. Every model call and fallback is checked against the deployment policy first. Private cloud and air-gapped deployment are planned; discuss deployment requirements.
What it does not handle
- Structural, electrical or gas sign off (needs a licensed professional)
- Uses only supplied material. No freshness guarantee beyond the documents provided.
- Required for every output during trials.
How to integrate
Send "engine": "home-projects" with your question and material from your server. Keys stay server side.
How to evaluate it
No published result for this workflow yet. Build a small answer key from your own work and compare against a strong single model baseline. See the evaluation checklist and method.
Cost and rights: pricing and licensing. Showing outputs to your own customers needs a written agreement.
