Built by estimators and engineers, not a generic AI lab. Orpheus comes from Synthetik — a Cenex company — the Australian estimating & engineering team pricing live civil infrastructure across QLD and NSW. The mocks on this page use the language and standards we work in every day.

Who it's for

Find your job on the tools.

Orpheus speaks the language of the people who deliver Australian projects — and does the work they'd otherwise do by hand.

Estimators

First-principles build-ups and priced BOQs from the tender library — in your rates, your region, your base date.

Contract Administrators

Variations, EOTs and payment claims drafted with the right clause references and evidence already linked.

Planners & Schedulers

Read the baseline .xer, test recovery options against the critical path, and export straight back to P6.

Project & Delivery Engineers

ITPs, lot reviews and conformance evidence against the spec — plus the day-to-day writing the job runs on.

Project workflow

A real project workspace, not a blank chat.

Files are indexed once, then reused across cost, commercial, programme, QA and day-to-day project work — the same context, everywhere.

Why Orpheus

"Isn't this just ChatGPT with a hard hat?"

Fair question. The difference isn't the model — it's that Orpheus works inside your project, in Australian standards, and hands back files you can issue.

Specialist modes

Built for the conversations construction teams actually have.

The same project files stay attached as the mode changes from cost to contract, programme, QA or general project work.

Cost

Rates, BOQs, build-ups, estimate strategy, and Australian cost reasoning.

Contracts & Commercial

Clauses, claims, procurement, payment, EOTs, and practical contract support.

Construction Programming

Sequencing, lookaheads, possessions, milestones, delays, and planning logic.

QA

ITPs, lot reviews, conformance evidence, NCRs, and specification workflows.

General

Writing, planning, summaries, research, and day-to-day project support.

One context, every mode

Switch modes without re-explaining the project. Your files, rates and programme come with you.

Product modules

The heavier workflows live beside the chat.

Orpheus is the front door, but the workspace also carries takeoff, estimating, commercial, programme, cost data, files and templates.

Build estimates from BOQ input and project context.

Combine BOQ line items with location, base date, estimate class, procurement model, on-costs, labour, material and plant assumptions.

Trust & data

High-stakes work needs answers you can check.

A mis-cited clause can time-bar a claim. Orpheus is built to draft for a professional to review — with your data kept yours, and every reference traceable to the document it came from.

Your data stays yours

Your files, rates and notices are never used to train AI models, and are deleted on request. Australian data residency for teams that need it on public work.

Every reference is traceable

Clause citations, rate sources and programme logic link back to your indexed documents — so your CA or estimator verifies before anything is issued.

Isolated workspaces

Per-company tenancy. Your rates and tender pricing never touch another contractor's workspace — even when you're both chasing the same job.

Orpheus drafts documents for professional review. It is a tool to assist qualified estimators, contract administrators and engineers — not a substitute for legal, contractual or engineering advice.
Common questions

Before you join the waitlist.

We're onboarding in small cohorts — roughly every 2–3 weeks — starting with QLD and NSW civil contractors. When your details are approved we send an access code, and you set up your first workspace the same day.
Early access is free while Orpheus is in beta — no credit card, no commitment. Teams that join now lock in founding pricing when paid plans begin.
No. Your files, rates and generated documents are never used to train models, they stay in your isolated workspace, and they're deleted on request. Australian data residency is available for teams that require it on public work.
Any AI can make mistakes, which is exactly why Orpheus is built to draft for review, not to act on its own. Clause references, rates and programme logic link back to the source document they came from, so your CA or estimator verifies before anything is issued.
Generic chat has no memory of your project, no Australian standards context and hands back text you re-format by hand. Orpheus indexes your project library once, reasons in AS 2124 / AS 4000 and MRTS, prices in Australian rates, and returns .xlsx, .docx and .xer files you can issue. See the full comparison above.
Just your project files — drawings (PDF), a BOQ (XLSX), the contract and spec (DOCX/PDF) and a baseline programme (XER). Orpheus indexes them once and you're working across cost, contracts, programme and QA from there.
Early access

Get on the Orpheus waitlist.
