SMACNA is proud to announce that Pelles.ai has officially signed on as the newest Bronze Associate Member. Simply put, Pelles.ai is all about simplifying preconstruction for MEP subs to help them boost their confidence and win more projects.

Recently, SMACNA spoke with Pelles.ai CEO & Co-Founder, Yael Meretyk Hanan about how Pelles.ai can help SMACNA member contractors. “We’re on a mission to simplify preconstruction for MEP subs. We harness the power of AI to allow contractors to work better with their documents, handle incomplete drawings, and automate their takeoff. Our users save serious time, make fewer mistakes, and win more projects,” she said.

When asked about what excites her about joining the SMACNA family, Meretyk Hanan replied, “The idea of being part of an organization that promotes trade excellence, where learning, collaborating, and sharing knowledge are its hallmarks, truly excites us. We believe that this will be a great support for us in developing our AI platform tailored for the trades.”

She closed by saying, “Not to scare anyone but AI is coming. Sure, today AI is for the innovators but in just a few years (probably fewer than you think), those who won’t adapt to it will be left behind. Take the time to learn how it can boost your business.”

SMACNA members interested in learning more about Pelles.ai are highly encouraged to contact Info@pelles.ai or call (970) 489-7483.
