Waterproofing Wisdom Agent
Specialist waterproofing reasoning on your scheme - today, not in three weeks.
The Waterproofing Wisdom Agent reasons the way CLW reasons on a paid appointment: within BS 8102:2022, with your career risk in mind, and with the cost of getting the grade wrong front-and-centre. It reads GIRs, fee proposals and GA drawings. Free to use. No appointment, no sales call.

Generate a hydrogeology risk assessment
Upload a GIR, FRA, or describe the scheme. The agent surfaces the waterproofing-relevant findings. Long-term water table, hydrostatic head, contamination implications, flood risk.

Read GAs for waterproofing risk
Upload basement and ground-floor general arrangement drawings. The agent flags every junction concern, every detailing assumption BS 8102 expects resolved by Stage 4.
Pathway | GA Compare | Live
Compare contractor tenders
Upload 2 to 5 design-and-build contractor tenders. The agent clears any bid that fails a mandatory capability requirement, normalises the survivors to a like-for-like price by adding back whatever was left out, then ranks them on competence and true normalised price.

The trust position
Independent expertise, at AI speed.
The Waterproofing Wisdom Agent does not sell products. It does not work for contractors. It holds no manufacturer affiliations - so when it tells you a quote is wrong, it has nothing to gain by being wrong about it.
Built on two decades of CLW's specialist basement waterproofing experience, and trained personally by Ben Hickman, contributor to BS 8102:2022.
