Your Virtual Agentic EPC Workforce
Plathera augments modestly staffed engineering and facilities teams with autonomous virtual EPC resources that maintain your plan of record, surface decision-ready context, and know when to pull humans in.
EPC Projects Are Information-Heavy, But Teams Are Time-Light
Traditional project management tools require constant human input. Plathera reverses that relationship.
Humans Push the System
- • PMs spend hours consolidating updates from multiple sources
- • Status chasing: "What's the latest on Package X?"
- • Information lives in silos (schedules, RFIs, drawings, contracts)
- • Modestly staffed teams can't scale to large project complexity
The System Works for You
- ✓ Agents maintain the plan of record automatically
- ✓ Latest status and decisions surface without polling
- ✓ Single source of truth across project data, people data, asset data
- ✓ Virtual workforce scales with project complexity, not headcount
How Your Virtual EPC Team Operates
Agents work autonomously across the project lifecycle, maintaining the plan of record and escalating when human judgment is required.
Project Intake & Setup
Agents: Project Intake Agent + Funding Approval Agent
Translates opportunities into structured project records, initial assumptions, and risk flags. Establishes baseline project structure and data model.
Human touchpoint: Brings initial project scope to PM for baseline approval
Execution & Coordination
Agents: Meeting & Alignment Agent + Task Management Agent
Orchestrates agendas, captures minutes, surfaces decisions, updates POR, and manages task backlogs with cross-discipline dependencies.
Human touchpoint: Surfaces decision-ready options; PM approves or redirects
Continuous Monitoring
Agents: Schedule Intelligence Agent + RFI Coordination Agent
Detects slippage, flags critical path changes, drafts RFIs, tracks responses, and links them back to design and construction decisions.
Human touchpoint: Escalates when schedule deviation exceeds threshold or RFI requires strategic input
Key Capabilities
Plathera combines an EPC-aware data platform with an autonomous virtual workforce to address the unique challenges of capital projects.
Agentic EPC Automation
Automate repetitive coordination and reporting work so virtual EPC resources keep your plan of record current while your team focuses on engineering and decisions.
Example: Meeting & Alignment Agent captures minutes, extracts action items, updates POR, and surfaces decisions—all without human prompting. Escalates when decisions conflict with established baselines.
Human + Agent Collaboration
Foster seamless collaboration where agents prepare context, surface risks, and propose actions, and human leaders provide judgment and approvals.
Example: RFI Coordination Agent drafts RFIs from meeting notes, routes them to appropriate disciplines, and tracks responses. Escalates when RFI requires strategic input beyond standard templates.
FTE Productivity Insights
Gain visibility into where virtual and human effort is spent, quantify FTE-equivalent impact, and tie agentic work back to portfolio outcomes.
Example: Schedule Intelligence Agent monitors 5 PM schedules, detects slippage, and flags critical path changes. Quantified as 0.31 FTE equivalent (50 hours/month saved). Report to leadership: "Virtual workforce delivers 1.2 FTE value across portfolio."
Governed Autonomy
Ensure the confidentiality and integrity of your project data while agents operate within clear guardrails, escalating whenever human judgment is required.
Example: Agents operate within tenant-specific data scopes with strict isolation. All agent actions are logged and auditable. Escalates when schedule deviation exceeds threshold or when out of distribution scenarios are detected.
Your Virtual EPC Team: Specialized Agent Roles
Plathera deploys a full suite of EPC agents, each specialized for a specific project function. Configure which agents your organization needs.
Meeting & Alignment Agent
Orchestrates agendas, captures minutes, surfaces decisions, updates POR.
Escalates: When decisions conflict with established baselines
Task Management Agent
Manages task backlogs, assignments, due dates, cross-discipline dependencies.
Escalates: When critical path dependencies are at risk
Deliverable Orchestration Agent
Tracks drawing packages, models, specs, submittals; manages revision flow.
Escalates: When revision conflicts require design judgment
RFI / Coordination Agent
Drafts and routes RFIs, tracks responses, links to design decisions.
Escalates: When RFI requires strategic input beyond standard templates
Schedule Intelligence Agent
Reads schedules, detects slippage, flags critical path changes, proposes mitigations.
Escalates: When schedule deviation exceeds threshold
Construction Admin Agent
Supports CA workflows (site observations, non-conformances, change directives).
Escalates: When non-conformances require field judgment
Measure Virtual Workforce Impact in FTE Equivalents
Plathera quantifies agent productivity using the same FTE baseline models that EPC organizations already use for automation and resource planning.
Standard EPC FTE Output
EPC organizations measure FTE productivity through work units: tasks completed, deliverables produced, reviews performed, analyses run, and coordination activities.
Virtual Agent Output
Plathera agents complete the same work units, measured against human time costs and impact weights. Each agent's output is quantified in FTE-equivalent terms.
Portfolio Impact
Deploy multiple agents across projects; aggregate FTE-equivalent value across your portfolio. Scale without linear headcount growth.
Governed Autonomy: Security and Compliance for High-Stakes Projects
Plathera is designed for EPC environments where schedule, safety, and regulatory compliance are non-negotiable.
Multi-Tenant Data Isolation
- ✓ Tenant-specific agent instances with strict data scoping
- ✓ Project data never crosses tenant boundaries
- ✓ Access controls aligned with EPC organizational structures
Standards Alignment
- → ISO 27001 certification roadmap
- → EPC-relevant compliance frameworks (as applicable)
- → Agent behavior logging and audit trails
- → Custom governance provisions per customer organization
Built for EPC Digital Implementation Teams
Plathera is designed for the person responsible for selecting and maintaining project management tools that enable capital project delivery.
All-in-One Package
Plathera includes the digital system (project, people, asset data) and the agentic virtual workforce that self-manages it. No separate integrations or maintenance overhead.
Minimal IT Maintenance
Agents operate within the platform. No need to manage separate agent infrastructure, training, or versioning. Updates roll out automatically.
Measurable ROI
Quantify agent impact using FTE-equivalent models. Report to leadership: "Virtual workforce delivers X FTE value across Y projects."
