Built on a Standardized Construction Audit Methodology, LogiX Is Now Open Across the Capital Project Ecosystem

LogiX now operates independently of the construction audit practice that built it. Owners and their advisers can run it with their own people and their own methods. A full line-by-line review in minutes instead of a sampled review over days.

GREENVILLE, S.C., Oct. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Fort Hill LogiX, the patent-pending payment application review platform built by Fort Hill Associates, now operates as a separate company and is open to owners of capital projects and the advisory teams that work for them. LogiX was developed from the construction audit programs of Fort Hill Associates and continues to draw on Fort Hill's subject-matter and methodology expertise.

The separation answers the first question other firms asked when they saw the platform: who is looking at our data, and where does it reside? As an independent company, LogiX can serve an owner's internal audit team, a university's construction group, or a rival advisory firm without any of them handing their work to a competitor. Audit and advisory firms can apply their own methodologies and professional judgment.

The common layer is the technology and consistent methodology. The professional responsibilities and decisions stay with the people who already own them.

LogiX operates as a separate entity with separate staff access controls and tenant-level data isolation. Fort Hill Associates has no visibility into or access to other LogiX customers' data.

LogiX was built to solve Fort Hill's own problem: too many pages of payment application backup and not enough hours to check every line. LogiX includes testing procedures informed by Fort Hill's construction audit experience since 2006, while allowing organizations to configure and apply their own methodology. LogiX evaluates payment application information against the owner's contract and submitted supporting records, with each reported observation linked back to its source. AI assists with reading and extracting information, defined procedures perform contractual and computational testing, and professional judgment remains with the reviewer and owner.

"Every time we sat down with another firm, the first question was the same: if we run our pay apps through LogiX, are we handing our documents to a competitor?" said Ruhtab Sahota, a Certified Construction Auditor and Founder of Fort Hill LogiX. "That's why LogiX stands on its own. Any owner or advisory team can now use it alongside their own people and their own judgment, and get a full line-by-line review in minutes instead of a sampled review over days." LogiX can provide that technology layer without replacing the people or professional judgment already in place.

Organizations can use LogiX in two ways. Teams with their own reviewers run the platform themselves and apply their own methodology and professional judgment. Teams without them can have LogiX run the review, and a Certified Construction Auditor signs off each pay app review. Either way, the owner decides what to pay. LogiX never holds a payment, and it does not use owner data to train AI models.

Multiple advisory firms outside Fort Hill have already piloted the platform. LogiX is built for owner-side construction and internal audit teams, and for the firms that advise them.

"The best tools usually start as something a company built for itself," said Curt Plyler, a CFA charterholder, Certified Construction Auditor and Co-Founder of Fort Hill LogiX. "Fort Hill will always be the first customer for LogiX, but it was never meant to be the only one. An owner's own team, or the firm they trust, should be able to check every line of a pay app the way we do."

Earlier this year, LogiX was named a winner in two categories of BUILD Magazine's 2026 Construction and Engineering Awards, including Most Innovative Construction Audit Platform.

Fort Hill built LogiX to scale its own construction audit work. Fort Hill separated the technology so it would not be the only organization able to use it.
