Overview
What is Riskcast: Riskcast is construction management software for self-perform contractors. Field crews capture labor hours, equipment usage, quantities installed, attendance, T&M tickets, and Job Hazard Analyses in a single session, which replaces separate tools for each. Safety teams, operations leaders, and project managers use those records as the field system of record.
How to integrate Riskcast with Datagrid
The Riskcast Datagrid integration imports nine field-data objects, Projects, Observations, Incidents, Inspections, Meetings, Documents, Users, Equipment, and Forms, into Datagrid for agent-driven analysis. Data flows one way, from Riskcast into Datagrid; Riskcast stays the field system of record, and Datagrid becomes the execution layer, where agents detect incident patterns, cross-check inspections, flag equipment anomalies, and generate compliance reports. Follow this setup order: connect Riskcast in Datagrid, authorize a Riskcast account with project access, then select objects and set the sync schedule.
Connect Riskcast in Datagrid
Follow these steps to create the Riskcast connection from the Datagrid interface.
Sign in to Datagrid and open Connectors from the left panel.
Find Riskcast under the Construction & BIM header.
Click Setup Integration, then Create a Connection.
Authorize with a Riskcast account that has permission to access your target projects.
Select the data objects you want to import.
Validate the connection and click Add Connector.
Set a schedule for recurring data pulls.
Authorize Riskcast access
Use an active Riskcast account with the necessary permissions to access the projects and data you want to import into Datagrid. Request Riskcast API documentation through the Request API Docs form on Riskcast integration pages before you configure authentication details.
Configure Riskcast data sync
Configure the sync around selected objects and project permissions, using the cadence set during setup. Riskcast's native ERP integrations handle Riskcast's ERP-facing objects, such as payroll exports and budget records.

}Why use Riskcast with Datagrid
Connecting Riskcast to Datagrid turns field-captured records into agent-executed workflows for safety, compliance, project monitoring, and risk review.
Field data without manual exports: Agents pull incidents, inspections, and equipment records from Riskcast on a schedule, so no one re-keys field data for analysis.
Automated incident analysis: Agents cross-check Observations and Incidents across projects and flag recurring hazards before they repeat.
Automated compliance reporting: Agents assemble reports from Inspections and Forms data and deliver them to operations leads on a fixed cadence.
Cross-platform orchestration: Agents combine Riskcast field records with Procore and Autodesk Construction Cloud data in one workflow across field-capture and project-management systems.
Faster answers from project data: Agents surface answers from Riskcast project data on request, so teams skip manual querying and exports for these workflows.
What you can build with Riskcast Datagrid integration
Riskcast and Datagrid work best for teams with repeatable safety and compliance standards that support project monitoring and run the same way across jobs. The build patterns below are starting points for agent workflows.
Incident pattern detection across projects: An agent analyzes Riskcast Incidents and Observations weekly, groups them by project and type, and routes a hazard summary to safety leads. Recurring issues on one site surface before they appear on the next.
Inspection compliance pipelines: An agent aggregates Inspections and Forms data, checks records against your documented standards, and generates a compliance report for operations leadership. The agent flags missing or overdue inspections automatically.
Project monitoring briefs: An agent compiles Projects, Meetings, and Documents data into a daily brief for project managers, so PMs get status without opening a second system.
Equipment risk assessment: An agent monitors Riskcast Equipment records alongside project data, detects usage anomalies, and triggers review workflows. The agent flags equipment sitting idle or logging unexpected hours to project controls.

Frequently asked questions
What data does the Riskcast integration import into Datagrid?
The integration imports the Riskcast object types listed in the Overview. Use that list to confirm whether your workflow's field records are available before setup.
What do I need before connecting Riskcast to Datagrid?
Use an active Riskcast account with the necessary permissions to access the projects and data you want to import into Datagrid. Confirm project permissions before setup, and request Riskcast API documentation through the Request API Docs form if your workflow needs API-level details.
Does Riskcast offer an API?
Yes. Riskcast's help center API release notes cover Cost Reconciliation, Quantity Initialization, and External System Integration. Riskcast provides full API documentation through its Request API Docs form.
Which systems does Riskcast integrate with natively?
Riskcast's integrations page lists six integration platforms: Procore, Autodesk Build/ACC, CMiC, Sage 100/300/Intacct, Viewpoint Vista/Spectrum, and eCMS. These native integrations handle ERP data flows such as budgets in and payroll exports out.
Does Riskcast work with on-premises ERP deployments?
Yes. Per Riskcast's CMiC integration page, Riskcast supports both on-premises and cloud deployments and offers flexible integration options such as APIs or custom-built solutions.
