AI & Construction Disclaimer

Decision-Support Tool

Pocket Engineer is an AI-assisted construction planning and estimation tool. It is intended to support user decisions, not replace licensed professional judgment, site investigation, engineering design, architectural services, legal advice, permitting review, or approval by a competent authority.

AI Limitations

• AI-generated content may be inaccurate, incomplete, outdated, inconsistent, or based on assumptions not visible to the user.
• AI output may change when the same or similar request is repeated.
• The presence of a source, code reference, standard, calculation, or professional-sounding explanation does not make an AI response professionally certified.
• Users must verify critical facts, dimensions, quantities, prices, codes, standards, and assumptions before acting.

Construction-Specific Limitations

• Material quantities and cost estimates are preliminary.
• Actual site conditions, soil, climate, logistics, contractor practices, labor productivity, taxes, code requirements, waste, market pricing, and supply availability can materially change the result.
• Pocket Engineer does not certify structural adequacy or safety.
• Pocket Engineer does not issue permits, approvals, licenses, zoning determinations, certificates, professional seals, or construction authorization.
• Jurisdiction-specific rules may change or may depend on parcel-specific facts not available to the Service.

Professional Review Required

Before beginning construction or making a decision with material safety, regulatory, structural, legal, or financial consequences, obtain review from the qualified professionals and governmental authorities required for the project and jurisdiction.
