Construction and Engineering Awards 2026 Most construction payment applications are still reviewed with PDFs, spreadsheets, email trails, manual reconciliations, and reviewer memory. While this process may look organised on the surface, it was never designed to facilitate transaction-level audit coverage across every invoice, lien waiver, labor change, change order, and cost category. Enter LogiX, a company that was built to close that gap by embedding live intelligence across all progress payment apps and financial data. Founder Ruhtab Sahota told us more below, as LogiX is named in the Construction and Engineering Awards 2026. Most Innovative Construction Audit Platform 2026 – USA & Financial Risk Oversight Solution Excellence Award 2026 – USA Contact: Ruhtab Sahota Company: Fort Hill LogiX Web Address: www.fhlogix.com “LogiX is construction audit experience converted into software.” Previously the parent company behind LogiX, Fort Hill Associates (FHA) is now owned by LogiX, driven by founding partners possessing extensive experience in construction audit and financial leadership. The company boasts a strong background in construction auditing, having reviewed more than 1,500 projects with values ranging from $1 million to $2 billion. Born out of Fort Hill’s vast experience, LogiX transforms construction auditing from slow, manual, billable-hours consulting into a realtime, AI-powered tool through a proven stand-alone and humanin-loop model. On a mission to bring clarity, accountability, and intelligence to capital projects, the Fort Hill team works primarily with owners, developers, and institutions, particularly in the fields of higher education and healthcare where financial transparency and risk control are critical. “LogiX was not built from theory,” Ruhtab shared. “It was built from the issues construction auditors see repeatedly in the field: payment applications that do not reconcile to backup, invoices that appear in later billing cycles, labor charges without rate support, change order markups that do not align with contract terms, and closeout findings that are discovered too late to resolve efficiently.” At its core, LogiX combines deep construction expertise with advanced AI to transform how payment applications, project costs, and financial risks are reviewed. Traditionally, these processes are manual, timeconsuming, and prone to oversight. LogiX has set out to change that by introducing a structured, data-driven approach that enables faster reviews, stronger controls, and better decision-making. “Ultimately, our goal is simple: to help clients reduce financial risk, improve project outcomes, and bring a higher level of confidence to complex construction projects.” Through LogiX, Fort Hill delivers a comprehensive suite of services that includes automated payment application reviews, cost validation, risk identification, and ongoing financial monitoring throughout the lifecycle of a project. The platform also provides dashboards and analytics that give stakeholders real-time visibility into project performance, enabling proactive management rather than reactive problem-solving. The most distinctive offering within LogiX is its AI-powered Payment Application Review system, which sits at the heart of the platform. Payment applications are one of the highest-risk areas in construction projects, often involving large sums, complex documentation, and tight timelines. Historically, these reviews have relied heavily on manual checks, spreadsheets, and fragmented processes, but LogiX reimagines this entirely. The platform uses advanced AI models to analyse payment applications, compare them against contract terms, historical billing patterns, and project data, and flag inconsistencies, anomalies, or potential overbilling. This includes identifying duplicate charges, unsupported costs, misaligned schedules of values, and deviations from contractual agreements. Beyond validation, the system also provides structured insights by highlighting trends, recurring issues, and potential risks so that clients can take actions early rather than after costs escalate. “LogiX stands out because we are not trying to incrementally improve existing processes,” said Ruhtab, “we are fundamentally rethinking them. Most competitors fall into one of two categories: traditional consultants who rely on manual reviews, or software tools that provide data without context. LogiX bridges this gap by combining domain expertise with AI-driven automation in a single, integrated solution.” Looking to the future, the Fort Hill team’s product roadmap is targeting the workflows where owners feel the most risk: monthly payment application review, duplicate invoice detection, change order review, lien waiver tracking, supporting documentation review, contract alignment, open-item tracking, executive reporting, and audit committee-ready documentation. Fort Hill will continue to work with owners, higher education institutions, healthcare systems, industrial and manufacturing clients, and advisory firms that want to move away from manual, samplebased review. These organisations are not looking for AI novelty, but for faster answers, broader coverage, and better-supported payment decisions. “In 2026, we are strengthening the features that make LogiX defensible: page-level source mapping, audit trails, human-in-theloop validation, risk scoring, historical project memory, dashboard outputs, and reporting that can be used by executives, boards, audit committees, and project teams,” Ruhtab concluded. “The ambition is straightforward: when an owner receives a payment application, they should not have to choose between speed and confidence. LogiX is being built to deliver both.”
