CMiC unveils NexusAI, embedding AI agents and an MCP server in its construction ERP

Users can create jobs, budgets and invoices through natural-language requests with a review-and-confirm flow, executed inside existing user permissions.

Construction software vendor CMiC announced NexusAI at its CONNECT 2026 conference, an AI launchpad embedded in its NEXUS construction ERP and backed by a CMiC MCP Server. The system lets project teams launch AI agents and query ERP content in natural language, view real-time KPIs and alerts, and run guided workflows from document uploads or questions, including creating jobs, budgets and invoices through a request, review and confirm sequence.

Every request executes within the existing security settings and user permissions rather than a separate AI context, a design the company presents as the governance model for agents acting on systems of record. The release also sharpens job costing and payroll functions. CMiC did not disclose pricing, general availability dates or performance benchmarks, and the capabilities remain vendor-reported pending independent testing. The launch extends the NEXUS line introduced in April 2025 with more than two dozen AI agents, and follows a week in which document, administration and ERP-layer construction AI vendors all shipped agent-based releases.
