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.

What it does

Six working pathways. One persistent chat.

01

Determine the BS 8102 Grade you need

Space-by-space assessment against Table 2 of BS 8102:2022. Lands on a defensible recommendation with reasoning the design team can sign off.

Pathway | Grade Assessment | Live

02

Compare fee proposals from waterproofing contractors

Upload 2 to 5 quotes; the agent runs a rigorous two-stage due-diligence check on independence, competence, and the technical depth of each proposal. Output: a written report you can act on.

Pathway | Quote DD | Live | Word export

03

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.

Pathway | Hydrogeology | Live

04

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

05

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.

Pathway | Contractor Tender DD | Live

06

Score your project's waterproofing risk

A two-minute structured review that places your basement on a risk matrix - how inherently demanding it is (Exposure) against how well it's being managed (Control) - and hands back a prioritised action list. Built from CLW's basement-failure forensic archive.

Privacy and data

What happens to the things you tell the agent.

Straight answers on chat logs, document handling, GDPR and your rights.

Who can see my chat logs?
CLW can. Every chat session is recorded and synced to your contact record in CLW's HubSpot CRM. We review sessions to qualify follow-up, to improve the agent, and to spot patterns across questions. We treat what you tell the agent the same way we would treat a phone call to the office. Confidential, professional, used only for the purpose you started the session for.
Are uploaded documents read by CLW staff?
No. The AI reads what you upload solely to generate your assessment during your live session; the file is then permanently deleted. Uploaded documents are never stored, and they cannot be opened, viewed, retrieved or reviewed by anyone at CLW. (Your chat messages are recorded and synced to our CRM for follow-up — uploaded files are not.)
Are my documents used to train an AI model?
No. We do not send your documents to model training pipelines, and we do not authorise the underlying model provider (Anthropic) to train on them. The documents inform the agent within your live session only.
What is your GDPR position?
CLW is the data controller for any personal data you provide to the Wisdom intake form and to the chat. We process it on the lawful basis of legitimate interest (responding to your enquiry about our services) and consent (the tick-box on the intake form). You can request a copy of, correction to, or deletion of your data at any time by emailing info@clw.consulting. Our full privacy policy sets out retention periods, third-party processors and your rights in detail.
Can I use Wisdom without giving you my real details?
No. The intake form gate exists so we can qualify who is using the agent and respond if you need a human follow-up. If you would prefer not to share your details, email info@clw.consulting with your question and we will help you directly.

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.
