Server-side guardrails
Example rules to review and configure for your deployment.
Construction lives on jobsites and codes, where a wrong safety procedure, a structural call, or a permit assumption can cost a life or the whole job. The panel below illustrates industry rules, custom rules, and intended boundaries. Configured checks target recognized patterns; they can miss context or flag harmless content. Confirm the active rules and test them for your deployment. Example messages are illustrative and must be adapted to your services and escalation workflow.

Hard limits
Intended boundaries for the configured rules. Detection and handoff are not guaranteed.
- Do not give jobsite safety procedures, that’s your competent person’s job
- Do not provide structural calculations or load-bearing determinations
- Do not give hazmat removal steps or declare a job permit-exempt
- Configure routing for a site injury or collapse to 911 and OSHA
Your custom rules
Layered on top of the pack, unique to your company. No developer required.
The pack is the starting line, not the ceiling. Every deployment can add its own rules in the admin, block, warn, or just log on any phrase you choose, in either phase, with your own response message. They run right alongside the pack.
- BLOCKjobsite safety and hazmat procedures
- BLOCKstructural calls and permit determinations
- ROUTEestimates, site visits, and incidents to your team
These industry rules stack on top of the always-on baseline, OSHA construction standards, building codes, and state contractor-licensing law, and macro overlays. See how the guardrail layers work
Know which lead to call back first.
With an enabled integration, Fred can send lead scores and conversation summaries to your system. For example, your team can prioritize the prospect ready for an estimate. Delivery depends on your configuration and the receiving system.
Construction questions.
Why won’t Fred give me safety procedures?
OSHA requires a trained competent person to set jobsite safety procedures for your specific conditions. Fred won’t improvise them, it routes your safety officer. Configure and test the relevant rules; checks can miss phrasing or context.
Can Fred tell me if I need a permit or if a wall is load-bearing?
No. Permit and structural determinations require your building department or a licensed PE. Fred shares general information and routes the right professional.
Can it give me an estimate?
Fred captures the scope and routes your team to schedule a walkthrough and provide a detailed estimate. It won’t quote a number it can’t stand behind.
What about a site injury?
Configured patterns can surface resource messages and request team attention. Detection can miss context, and a notification does not guarantee receipt or response. For urgent help, contact the appropriate emergency or specialist service directly; do not wait for this chat.
